Qualcomm reportedly begins layoffs to cut $1B in costs

Qualcomm Inc. announced Wednesday they would be cutting jobs as part of a promise to cut annual costs by $1 billion.

"Qualcomm is conducting a reduction of our full-time and temporary workforce", a company spokesperson who declined to be identifies said, without disclosing the exact numbers of job cuts.

In California, a layoff of more than 50 workers would require Qualcomm to file a WARN notice with the state, letting workers know that cuts are coming well ahead of taking any action. The move came as part of the company's plan to reduce its broadened workforce and it was decided during a meeting with investors that Qualcomm's main mission would be to increase revenue and reduce total overheads.

The layoffs come just weeks after an agressive acquisition offer put Qualcomm's business on the global stage.
