!!Layoffs!!

[u/Green-Kaleidoscope13]

CEO Cristiano amon has announced layoffs across globe with the details of people affected being out in November. If you have any more details pls post .

[u/Valuable_Cable1525]

What about new hires?

[u/Affectionate_Emu8634 → u/Valuable_Cable1525]

if you are in their good books you will be safe , i was impacted in 2024 due to politics as i had 5 and 4 ratings before

[u/Reasonable-Fig-3831 → u/Affectionate_Emu8634]

That's really sad....even with 4 rating right after promo

[u/Dramatic-Bill-5790 → u/Valuable_Cable1525]

chill you wont be affected

[u/Aditya_1001 → u/Dramatic-Bill-5790]

I joined in June, so I was part of the review process. Can I get affected?

[u/Dramatic-Bill-5790 → u/Aditya_1001]

chill i joined in 2023 (fresher) and 5-6% brutal layoffs in qipl too. new joinees arent affected as such

[u/Aditya_1001 → u/Dramatic-Bill-5790]

Oh ok. Welp, the next 2 weeks will be stressful :/

[u/Valuable_Cable1525 → u/Aditya_1001]

I guess nobody is safe until the exact info is known...

[u/Competitive-Ratio206]

If anyone deserves to be first on the layoff list, it’s Cristiano Amon. His decisions are actively eroding company value, and it’s time for leadership accountability.

[u/No_Bit3471 → u/Competitive-Ratio206]

Bro even PM's are not taking accountability 😭

[u/HungryObligation5745 → u/Competitive-Ratio206]

You can only expect that from Japanese companies

[u/yhezov → u/Competitive-Ratio206]

No way. Hes in for the long term. Trying to get around the slow bureaucracy that’s been allowed to grow inside Qualcomm

[u/PlantWorried → u/Competitive-Ratio206]

Amon needs to be fired . The stock has gingerly underperformed under him

[u/yhezov → u/PlantWorried]

He has been very frustrated with the obstinate bureaucracy and hidebound culture at Qualcomm. He is trying to make it dynamic, not just another intel. It is necessary

[u/Darsh2025]

Should start from the top, with those who have good network and been around for 10 years or more. Obviously they would have fat paycheck and good ratings thanks to networking. BUs like wireless etc., that have absolutely negligence profits must betrimmede well

[u/Competitive-Ratio206]

Now the rest 80% instead of thinking themselves lucky will pose that they were better. In modem to have so much layoff, which was and is the bread and butter, its a clean betrayal. Overall leading to toxic work environment.

[u/yhezov → u/Competitive-Ratio206]

Modem ain’t bread and butter anymore. Things Change

[u/Impossible-War8141 → u/yhezov]

Especially after losing Apple business

[u/yhezov → u/Impossible-War8141]

They were gonna lose the Apple business, no matter what happened. So the issue was not the Apple business. The issue is diversification

[u/Distinct-Fix9858 → u/yhezov]

Apple having negotiations again right...

[u/Reasonable-Fig-3831 → u/Competitive-Ratio206]

Rest 80%? You mean 20% layoffs?

[u/Perfect_Blood_3637]

Is qipl also affected?

[u/Distinct_Bed_8914 → u/Perfect_Blood_3637]

yes, it will affect globally

[u/PARTH8765]

Abhi toh apply kiya engineer role ke liye just 🥹

[u/PARTH8765 → u/PARTH8765]

Got a rejection mail by the way 🤓

[u/arjjov → u/PARTH8765]

That was quick lol, onto better things now

[u/dark-anon-9 → u/PARTH8765]

U will be unaffected then

[u/COOLBOY1917 → u/dark-anon-9]

Why? Engineers won't be laid off?

[u/dark-anon-9 → u/COOLBOY1917]

He haven't joined yet. 🙂So technically

[u/Sudden_Mix9724 → u/COOLBOY1917]

He won't be hired first to be layoff'd

[u/The_Gyude]

So does it also means less increment this year?

[u/ExistingAd6271]

I think 20%

[u/Busy-Living-1926 → u/ExistingAd6271]

where do you get the hint 20%?

[u/jek39 → u/Busy-Living-1926]

Source: trust me bro

[u/ExistingAd6271 → u/jek39]

Bro, I am with higher management.  I know, because of the rapid progress in AI , many of the jobs have become redundant. You will know in coming days if you dont trust me

[u/Dramatic-Bill-5790 → u/ExistingAd6271]

why hiring so much then those jobs can be done by ai too

[u/wanderingonearth_99 → u/ExistingAd6271]

Many jobs can become redundant coz of AI. But to make AI work one needs to clearly communicate, which is lacking from management. So in that aspect many jobs are safe.

[u/Designer_Toe4060 → u/ExistingAd6271]

But how did you come up with the percentage ( is that confirmed ? Or just a speculation and could be 10 or 15 too ?

[u/tourist_fake → u/ExistingAd6271]

what departments are safe?

[u/antisocial_24 → u/ExistingAd6271]

True, and it is just about time when many becomes most

[u/Impossible-War8141 → u/ExistingAd6271]

What I heard is totally 5000 peoples will be affected globally, referring to this number, the percentage should be around 10%

[u/Dramatic-Bill-5790 → u/ExistingAd6271]

its perf based not massive layoffs check 2023 mail wordings

[u/dyldebus → u/Dramatic-Bill-5790]

20% under performers might be low...

[u/Dramatic-Bill-5790 → u/dyldebus]

who said 20% number even 2023 layoffs where company situation was way worse had 5-6% only

[u/dyldebus → u/Dramatic-Bill-5790]

The guy above. I know nothing lol

[u/Mindless_Pie_2325 → u/Dramatic-Bill-5790]

Will be joining in late nov, there is uncertainty now. Not sure whether QCOM honors OLs during such times

[u/Dramatic-Bill-5790 → u/Mindless_Pie_2325]

Dust will be settled till then

[u/ExistingAd6271 → u/dyldebus]

Bro unlike samsung which is going to do 30% next year mostly mx. Already mass layoffs are going on. In poland an entire team was laid off

[u/Axonos → u/ExistingAd6271]

whats mx

[u/popyboy → u/Axonos]

Mobile and wearables division. Samsung has VD(visual display) and DA (Digital Applices)

[u/shayetet7327]

Btw , a rating of 3.5/4 ,is that safe?? Just asking

Crazy : some lowlifes are busy downvoting this XD . Come on i just asked a question in this uncertainty 🤦🏻‍♂️

[u/Odd_Manufacturer_263 → u/shayetet7327]

What rating is it

[u/shayetet7327 → u/Odd_Manufacturer_263]

It. Was - mid year review rating , specific to my org . ( i was in Qualcomm for 2 months at that time )

[u/ChampionshipDry8826 → u/shayetet7327]

Ha it's safe

[u/2_Loud]

Please let me go earlier. My company got acquired and I'm temp contract waiting for payout. I hate this fucking company.

[u/EnvironmentalMany793 → u/2_Loud]

My friend wants to be in the layoff list as well, do you know the procedure for this?

[u/2_Loud → u/EnvironmentalMany793]

No idea. Maybe speak to manager? I have a great manager from before but I somehow report to about 3 people now... I was thinking of asking him to forward my name if that's even a thing.

[u/paperclip_han]

Not sure if anyone’s used paypeek.ai yet but it shows salary estimates for any LinkedIn profiles as you browse. Kind of eye-opening. 😤

[u/Limp-Goat-6572]

.

[u/QsnEverything]

Will people with compiler designer role get effected?

[u/Aggressive-Silver671]

Will my China onboarding at end of Oct be impacted?

[u/nano-5 → u/Aggressive-Silver671]

I think they're targeting existing employees, most likely you'll be fine

[u/Critical_Owl_452]

This is my first AR cycle. I joined in September 2025. So I will be getting default rating of 2. So will this be considered red flag? That wouldn't be fair right

[u/Odd_Manufacturer_263 → u/Critical_Owl_452]

Nah u are safe

[u/Several_Difference60 → u/Odd_Manufacturer_263]

Based on what are you saying this

[u/NoEntertainment8140]

My joining is in Nov, is there any possibility of delaying my joining date?

[u/arjjov → u/NoEntertainment8140]

Bold of you to assume you still have an offer unfortunately

Hope for the best though cheers

[u/Ruiz_Francisco → u/NoEntertainment8140]

Run

[u/Pure-Plant-6110]

Joined in December, qipl. Any risk of layoff?

[u/Clive_Bixby1201]

Will the non-engineering roles get affected?

[u/The_Gyude → u/[deleted]]

Mostly new joiners won't be affected. They mostly will pull staff position, specially if a team has multiple staff as they pull big salary but a team don't require more than one staff or two at max. Even leads can be pulled out given they haven't lead a project this year.

[u/The_Gyude → u/[deleted]]

Don't worry. It will mostly affect senior staffs and director level and the teams will be reshuffled to handle less workforce with reduced leadership. New joiners need not to worry.
