Qualcomm Engineer Receives 15 Months' Salary Exit Package After Layoff
A Qualcomm engineer shared on Reddit that his recent layoff came with an exit package equivalent to 15 months' salary, which he called a "blessing in disguise." The employee, with five years at Qualcomm, had transferred to a new team where he faced a difficult work environment, including personal attacks and lack of support. Despite performing well previously and relocating closer to home, he regretted the move. He described the work culture as poor and had requested to be laid off before the redundancy was announced.
