The career progression is like this: You work to improve yourself over 25 years in semiconductors. You will become an expert who can resolve all special taks. save money, improve yield and make projects successfull. Everybody is happy, but.....the salary increases over years......Finally they will lay you off because your salary is too high, higher than graduate´s salary. Managment does not understand that what moves the company forward is the technical experties and speed. It is not important anymore, what only matters are cheap incompetent graduates who are asap hired mainly from none technical fields because they are cheaper than graduates from technicial fields. All slows down, projects slow downs or crash, problems remain unresloved, yield is terrible, customers lots..... Well seniors are fired and youner ones cannot cope with it.... Solution? They repeat the same mistakes over and over.....Perhaps the company shall be renamed to "Inferno Hindmalay Semiconductors Technologies GmbH".

All the semi companies are the same...TI, ADI, NXP, ON. We can't buy certain parts because they can't solve the yield issues.
