Even though we are cheap like sh-t we should expect layoffs too. Anyone knows when and under what conditions?

However it works out it can't be as bad as when Intel Germany fired all those people.
If you see fresh trenches, stop quiet quitting and walk away.
Now you know... Happy?
Poczekaj and layoffs will come.
Employee reps must negotiate with Intel first like the did the last time.
And no, Poland is not that much expensive than India.
@es I don't know the numbers, but “much cheaper” is not true for at least a couple of years. Yes, engineers in India are cheaper than in Poland, but not much. It's more like 15-20% cheaper , not 70%.
When people say
BTW India is much cheaper than Poland.
What kind of specific numbers are we talking about?
Anyone knows rate numbers?
@OP The only rumor I heard was something about replacing a lightbulb at Intel, but that's not important right now.
Yes, IDC/Tiber let go of many Polish employees.
10%, notification in Aug.
@ay
Maybe India is cheaper than Poland. I don't know. But last time only Poland and Costa Rica were restricted from voluntary leaves as particilarly cheap locations. India was not as AFAIK.
Expect some news in August.
BTW India is much cheaper than Poland.
@OP They already said it will be 10%, so something like 200-250 people.
@a9 IGK is quite big (plus some small number of employees in Warsaw I guess), I don't know figure but my rough estimate would be around 2.5k. And don't worry, layoffs here are inevitable, they are just slightly delayed because of more complex EU/local regulations.
No, but we can start some.
Just need to know how big your site is.
