Joined less than a year ago, am I safe?

I just joined the company less than a year ago. I'm technically under the customer engineer group. What groups are usually affected by the lay offs? This is pretty disappointing, I left my previous company which never laid people off and had good... — read more

This shouldn't be a surprise for anyone!

I warned everybody this would happen over a year ago in my reply to the Steve Appleton comment. I said as soon as there is a losing quarter, Sanjay will panic and start firing people. I can't believe the two answers I got that "the company is... — read more

Do we know who's getting cut?

Probably a lot of equipment engineers? Should we expect process engineers, managers, etc... to get cut too?

It was just a matter of time

Considering that all tech companies are laying off people, it was only a matter of time before Micron followed suit. Nearly 5k people are about to lose their jobs and since there's no date set, it means all of us will spend most likely months... — read more

Hit the glass ceiling

I quit Micron not so long ago, and I think I made the right rational decision. Did not get any raise even though it was due for the last years. As the result I got a competitive external offer that Micron was not able to. Overall it is a good... — read more

How are things going?

Layoffs will be bad

Look around at other companies in our industry. Many of them are doing much better than we are and they're laying people off in droves. It's only a matter of time before it's our turn and when it gets here, it's going to be a bloodbath. I'm betting... — read more

This is not good!

This is the beginning of something really bad! Have you seen the stock price? Sanjay is losing MILLIONS! I have a solution though. If we all ban together and put at least 10% of our paychecks into a secure account, we can donate it to Sanjay to... — read more

Leadership doesn't respect employees

They treat us like we don't matter. We're the ones who do all the work but we are still seen as a cost and not an asset. They've been alienating a lot of us this way, and I wouldn't be surprised if there is a mass exodus at some point. All we ask is... — read more

Micron is not the same company it once was

Diversity

It is funny to see Sumit and Sanjay and their cronies promoting themselves as champions of diversity, equal pay etc. Talk is cheap. It is self promotional. They do not respect women or pay equality. Quite the opposite. They promoted unfair practices... — read more

Will there be cuts?

Found a new job and it wasn't that difficult

The new offer is not particularly lucrative, but offers a much healthier atmosphere. Here is a tip, because I’ve noticed that some people don’t even try to leave even though it’s really bad for them here: if you don’t apply, you have zero chance! — read more

Let's say everyone gets vaccinated
