Topics regarding layoffs at Micron Technology Inc.

Some transparency would go a long way

I hate that the news of layoffs dropped and we haven't heard anything else since. At least we haven't heard anything that would give us more insight into what's about to happen. All I'm hearing is a whole bunch of rumors and exaggerations that are... — read more 

I've been laid off before

It's not as bad as you might think. It's scary for a few weeks, then you start lining up interviews, and sooner than you expect it you have an offer or two. The key thing is to be prepared with your resume updated and plenty of applications ready to... — read more

Even if I am not impacted, I definitely intend to leave

I don't believe that there are those who aren't looking for other options. Are there any? Some even wish to get a package and leave. The market situation is not ideal, but it is not so bad that it is impossible to find something better.

I'm worried about the layoffs

At Micron, experience is a liability. The longer you've been at this place, the higher your risk of being laid off. This sound counterproductive but that's what happened in the past. Personally, I don't know of any other company where this is true... — read more 

If you are thinking of volunteering

Your manager is not your friend, although they pretended to be. Do not offer to volunteer, because there will be low-performer quotas to fill in the future and they will unexpectedly create a low-performer review for you with vague language about all... — read more 

Focus on the positives

I understand that it's not easy not to think about layoffs, but constantly stressing over what's to come will only harm you and nobody else. Choose to focus on the positives. My thinking is, even if I'm laid off, I've learned a lot during my time... — read more

Performance as a criterion

It will be a real tragedy if there happen to be many people with great performance among the laid off people. Do you think there will be? - Unfortunately, I am pretty convinced that performance plays almost no role when it comes to cuts.

Wish to be selected with severance package

Hi, I guess I'm an outlier around here but I wish there is voluntary severance option available with similar package as the vro or the earlier ones. The job is becoming shittier every day with the bell curve performance ratings, forced good catches... — read more

Parallel Universes , Corporate Layoffs and beyond

Folks, I just wanted to take a moment and remind you of the beauty of physics. Just think about it. There is a universe somewhere, just like this one, where there is a Micron just like the one we are talking about, with us working in it.... and there... — read more

Indicators that you will be a target

I am aware that hard work does not guarantee anything. Although I always gave my best, my manager's behavior has been pretty unusual lately and I'm afraid it might be a red flag that I will be a target. There is no way to reliably know in... — read more

High time to send applications!

Maybe I wouldn't be so anxious and worried about layoffs if the situation wasn't currently so tough in this market. There are those who say that it is not that difficult to find a new job, but that is not my experience. How about you?

It's a good thing we were told in advance

I was laid off before and when it happened, we had no idea it was coming. I was called into a meeting and that was it. It felt like a punch to the chest. I know layoffs are never good, but I'd rather be notified in advance and do my best to be ready... — read more

Are new grads safe?

I just joined early this month. Should I be prepared to lose my job?
