Not with the people we're losing. Not even close.

@OP Sadly, it never is.
It's hard to keep a cool head and remain objective when your are in the midst of it, no doubt about that.
It’s a purge
It is performance based. But they have a different definition of what constitutes performance.
Based on daily fab badge scans into and out of the fab durations and with PM and In Repair logs your name on it ! More toolset troublehsooting the more points you receive to stay in the DarkSide !
My area we lost a 57 but he is always out on medical leave.
I know four people who have been impacted, three of them deserved it. Fourth, he had the potential to perform, but doing really redundant, low value work. Two people who I wanted to be gone are still here. They are very close to the top managers, but really do nothing.
They are eliminating threats to their own power
@a3 57’s are experts on their toolsets… that’s how they got to that grade. A lot of them like kick back and put their feet up and let the noobs do everything while only responding to certain problems or issues.
Stfu with the BKM spam. BKMs are written by engineers and high pay grades you stupid troll.
@a2 i agree it is a form of performance lol. But they’re calling it “lack of communication” “lack of team work” “lack of interactions with engineering”.
I mean it’s true. I wish they could just say “hey we’re laying you off because you su-k at your job” but they got sued for that. So they have to dance around it using things RELATED to performance but not direct performance.
I’m the guy you replied to btw.
With cuts 30% or higher that many teams are seeing, even high value performers are getting cut
@a1 It is always high earners with low contributions.
That is a form of performance management and they have always, always been a target for layoffs.
Too long in grade will get you a package.
@OP legally it cannot be performance based. Last time they did that they got sued. You can’t grade everyone on the same performance scale because certain people require some measures of accommodations and thus they’d get sued by the ADA and sh-t just like last time.
In my group it appears to be high earners with low contributions. The two people they’re laying off are both 57s who are almost never in the fab. Both been at Intel 10+ years.
