Qualcomm, the world's largest maker of computer chips for mobile devices, is laying off roughly 600 employees worldwide, as it plans to refocus its business into new areas, a company spokesperson confirmed to CNET on Tuesday.
The spokesperson said just under 300 employees would be cut in California, where the company has its San Diego headquarters and several other offices. A "similar number" of international employees will also be laid off, the person said. At the end of September, Qualcomm had about 31,300 full-time, part-time and temporary employees, up about 300 from the year earlier, according to regulatory filings. The spokesperson declined to say how many full- or part-time employees would be cut.

It's hard to be believed.
Qualcomm I known is very affective company in smart device area. Like aforementioned, they have get a huge profit through their license and supply AP for mobile device to several manufacture companies exclusively.
But, this choice that they throw up their coworkers seems to be decided very easily.
Although I know the business seeks efficiency in America, it confuses me because they look like to undergo difficulty as they give up their people.
