Roommate working at TD in Intel. I need to know if I continue my lease or break and find someone else who has a stable job. Don't want to be put in a situation where I would have to pay for his share as well incase he gets layed off and leaves the country.

TD’s normal attrition is 10%. Ann mentioned that there will be layoffs in TD if normal attrition persists.
Laid off, they should be fired
Calm down .. all good

Same situation but roommate is a DEI. They are not worried at all about being laid off. I suppose Intel won't release the statistics, but DEI def. will not be experiencing any adverse impact in the layoffs most likely. Meritocracy no longer the core value of Intel it seems.
Lol same situation but roommate from AXG. I want to know what would happen after AXG reorgs and settles down and so would he
Can I be ur roommate? I can cook up a mean butter chicken
This is a sad but common situation. Rents, gas, food all going up. Even those making the median income can barely get by. 40% of households in US have ZERO wealth (they rent the housing and have no retirement or personal saving). US savings rate was around 8-10% pre pandemic. When the stimmy money rolled out, personal savings spike to 30%, but that money got spent and lost on Robin Hood, bitcoin, SPACs, ARKK and other such foolish investments, eating and on electronics (like PCs ha ha). Now, US savings rate is just 2.5% !!! Today, almost half of credit card holders are not paying off the bill each month. All time high. In China, the savings rate is 40!! US Gov't has massive debt and running major deficits. This is really quite a mess.
Fiscal stimulus and Fed jiggering interest rates does nothing but pull demand forward, increases the wealth of those with real assets and substantially increases the systemic risk that the country will fail. There is no free lunch friends.
Am I worried about global warming... Well I certainly wouldn't put it in our top ten most significant problems. China and India are building/adding a dirty coal plan and bringing on line each week. And somehow people in the US think they can even make a dent in the problem. Meanwhile, National Debt is a much bigger and imminent danger. On top of that, how about bio engineering. Messing with viruses in labs with genomic manipulation arguably is much more dangerous then global warning. And of course we have threat of nuclear war.
So, in the grand scheme of things, having a roommate that might get laid off from Intel may not be the worst possible thing.
Cool housing story, bro
What is TD
Maybe you should start looking for a new roommate now.
