About
Qualcomm, a leading wireless technology and semiconductor giant, is laying off 153 employees in San Diego, representing about 1% of its 12,500-person workforce in the region. The cuts, effective in February 2023, are part of broader cost-reduction measures amid a global slowdown in smartphone demand. The company, which employs 51,000 worldwide, had previously implemented a hiring freeze and lowered its sales forecast, citing a significant drop in smartphone sales and bloated chip inventories across the industry. This move reflects wider challenges in the tech and semiconductor sectors as companies adjust to reduced consumer spending and economic uncertainty.
