Qualcomm has announced plans to eliminate nearly 1,258 jobs in two of its offices in the state of California in the US, the media reported.
According to a recent filing with the California Employment Development Department, the company informed it will be laying off about 1,064 workers from San Diego and 194 from Santa Clara, reports CNBC.
The job cuts will take effect around December 13 at both offices, the report added.
This latest job reduction is likely to account for nearly 2.5 percent of its workforce.
According to the company’s most recent annual financial statement, it employed over 51,000 people (as of September 2022).
“However, neither location will have any facility closures,” the filing mentioned.
