I missed the package. Wanted to see if I could get one as I am leaving anyway just like rest of us. Is there a trick or bkm to get package as I see that as free money. What not take some as we all will leave anyway.

We were really lucky that Samsung licensed their 14 nm to us and we are surviving since 2014 while running their borrowed technology to AMD, QCOM, Marvell , Mediatech and few others. Thanks to Samsung. Now what next ? We do not have a single... — read more 

I'm not gonna lie that I'm not glad that I survived and that I have a chance to look for a new job while I still have a job, but on the other hand, if it's true that the package for those who are laid off in the next round will not be as good as... — read more 

So was told we will be slowing all the 12fdx, 22nm and photonics to make room for overflow from other gabs. We failed 20nm, 14nm where we then had to buy Smasungs tech, which is why we're are still in business. 7nm was as we know a Complete and utter... — read more 

I've been where some of you are right now. I know well how much it hurts to lose a job you love and how difficult it can be to keep your head up and keep moving forward when it feels like there's no end in sight. But once I left GF, I realized... — read more 

I survived but clearly the layoff has created enough irreparable damage that Will be more than enough to sink the GF. I am already applying and so are my peers. No motivation to stay. All the bad and incompetent managers who are a-s lickers survived... — read more 

Great year team, we won the world series, but no rings cause we may not win next year. But we'll have to ax some of you older fellas who got us here cause we expect you to grow a bit older during the off season.

All Hands post of what was discussed.

This round will finish up by tomorrow morning. My guess is the next round will be early Q2 2023. This right here. I don't see anything happening for the remainder of the year or early in 2023 after this round is wrapped up. But we are far from... — read more

Is anyone not fired planning to aggressively look for a new job now ?

After MSMs lay off people on all four shifts do some get laid off tomorrow morning?

Before we can say for sure layoffs are done and we can stop stressing over it?

I would have preferred that they didn't give me any reason for cutting me, than the explanation I got which makes no sense and which only frustrated me even more. I am very self-critical, but what was stated as the reason for layoff is absolute... — read more 

Be careful about what you take to be true from here. A lot of posts seem to be coming from people that have no interest in providing any helpful input and just want to scare/anger you. I suspect that there are likely people trolling this website... — read more 

I am trying to figure out who are the most vulnerable employees. Long-timers? New hires? The most talented ones? Slackers? I hope that the most at risk are not the best employees who should be retained at all cost.

I feel sorry for everyone who was laid off in these difficult times. Being laid off is one of the most stressful moments one can experience. It may not be very comforting, but... most of us can get better opportunities outside of GF. I am still... — read more 

So has fate finally caught up with the over staffed and under worked department now that ER is not around to protect them?

I also heard the new employeers are most vulnerable. Almost all new hire are asked to leave. Will never recommend my friends to join this sick company. You work hard for a year then you get fk off.

For new folks on this website, there is a large "ACTIVE" button right above the first thread... you can use it to see what posts had recent replies. That's all from me. Anyhow, I hope this helps someone. Good luck all....

I sincerely hope that I will be targeted. Anyone else? I realized that it is not worth staying in a company that treats people like this. What can those who stay here expect in the future? In my opinion, nothing good.

I am trying to refocus on looking for a new job, but I am very worried.

This company is known for its ruthless treatment of employees. Even if you survive this round of layoffs, we all know there will be more next year. Things are only going to get much worse from this point on. It hasn't even started yet. Sorry for... — read more

It’s the 12th and another day of no news. GF can’t even get layoffs in a timely manner.

I do care about keeping my job here but it seems unlikely that one could make their position any safer regardless of how much the employee is dedicated to their work.

Some surprising names being informed today in upper management in Malta. These were not volunteers, they were shocked and blindsided.

This has become a terrible workplace. I don't think I've ever put in more effort and been less valued than I am here. How many of you started prioritizing looking for a new job in order to leave GF, regardless of whether you survive the cuts?... — read more
