how the he-l are we going to fill the Fab in Boise? if even Intel has labor force issues? https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/newsroom/opinion/intel-addresses-semiconductor-workforce-shortage.html#gs.5sdjbp
are we going to take people from high school? and a lot of good people left this week. I had at least one mail per day with "I'm Leaving here is my phone and my mail" and they were Good engineers.
This is all about them making a case to use CHIPS Act to bring in more h1b workers paid for by taxpayer money.
Outside the US Intel hires factory techs with high school degrees. In the US they list the same job hiring up to a bachelor degree, yet saying there is a shortage of American engineers.

Digging down further, in the US they list circuit design engineering jobs starting at MS degree to PHD recruiting strictly from research universities to hire h1bs for circuit designer engineers. Outside the US they set the same job hiring technologist degrees in India (B.tech). A B.Tech degree would be like recruiting from engineering techs from Devry. There isn't a talent shortage of Americans but they push this narrative because they want US jobs to be open for a Global Talent pool because of already weak immigration rules.

You should check how many engineering jobs at Micron hire B.Tech degrees outside the U.S., or how many h1bs got here with a technologist degree. Outside of the industry I've noticed that our state universities let people from India get admitted directly to a masters program with a Bachelor of Technology degree to set them on an easy path to h1b. They don't do that for Americans, but all in the name of creating diversity and global harmony. Colleges love that foreign money though and willing to hold lower standards for the right scale and right price.
If Microns loves global diversity they should stop hiring B.tech in India and instead start pumping in immigrants into India with real engineering degrees like they do in the US.

Spot on. Overwhelming majority of semiconductor executives in US these days are snakeoil peddlers. This talent shortage thing is a complete scam. Intel cannot even fully accomodate the NSG personnel into LTD
ain't going to fill it anyway, but there's the CHIPS Act money to be had
it's just propaganda by intel
right now their headcount is too high compared to tsmc
they are looking for more cheap bound labor
even though the company su-ks now with that philosophy
try applying at intel and see if they are that desperate, it's bs
i think we have an epidemic in the US of too many d-mb people at the top
Good! Need house prices to get higher!
We won't, we lost ton of talent in 2 years. Now we have to overpay them to be in an overpriced city like boise.
Micron sent a crystal clear message in Feb/March. Just weeks after they mailed the severance package the HR team was talking about the partnerships they are forging for training people to staff the new fabs. The had just walked thousands of years of Micron experience and expertise to the door, and here they are talking about training their new workforce. Micron wants the shortage, that way they can manipulate the H-1B process to get a cheaper, younger and indentured workforce.
The ones who are leaving are the smart ones. Micron is not the place for the 40+ year old crowd or a place to build a career.
who the he!! what's to relocate to Boise, no thanks
Just relocate couple of L1 clowns from Singapore.
Just relocate couple of villages from India.
How do you think? That fab will be named "little india"
