Rule of 75

Heard more RIF coming. Targeting people with years of service and age equal to 75 or over. So sad. Hire young people with PHD's and pay them more.

Layoffs this week

The inside track is that layoffs are scheduled to begin this week. Target audience -the senior crowd. If you are near retirement, micron will honor your retirement benefits early. This is their sneaky way of avoiding the wrath of their dirty play. If... — read more 

HR is tired of this rank and yank too

HR is tired of this rank and yank too... They do not support it, they just have to. The technical jobs in Boise really do not exist. These supervisors who are handing out the low levels playing the puppet games are the ones who will get hurt the... — read more

Layoff would be a blessing

I'm at the point where I'm hoping and praying to be laid off. Working at Micron has turned from a pleasure years ago into dreading showing up at work each day. I'd quit on my own, but at my age...that's not an easy decision to make. At least being... — read more 

Regrets?

Does anyone have any regrets leaving this place? Has life been better?

There is no future at Micron

Everybody working here should know this by now. Nobody is safe. And nobody is guaranteed a severance - if that's what people are hoping to get by staying despite everything that's been going on. Start looking for a new job if you know what's best for... — read more

Rank and yank

At least when GE used the rank and yank, you had to be rated low 2 consecutive times to be fired. And you were given a year for improvement. Micron's rank and yank is much more harsh. The 90 day option is bogus. They just want the employee to take... — read more

The probation is an insult to hard working employees

This "probation" thing is an insult to the hard working employees that have worked so hard over the years to help build this company. Create a new standard that puts performing everyday employees in a stressful bind so the company can pretend they... — read more

Here is why you shouldn't get into engineering

Wow, this is pretty funny. As part of the interview process this company gives a "strength test" to engineers holding a BSEE or MSEE. Too funny man https://youtu.be/vnVUE0TDVOE
