You must be talking about some other state besides California, or
under a union contract. California law says that employees are "at
will" which means that they can be "let go" without reason at any
time, and without prior notice.
Maybe it's just here @ QCOM, but I've heard the same thing.
Our HR ppl have to jump through many hoops to get someone laid off.
It's almost like the public-service.
