Micron's recent Boise site company meeting. Employees can submit questions that the board can answer at the end of the meeting. The employees vote which ones they want the directors to answer. Number one question was when will the pay scale for employees catch up to the new hire pay scale. Awe.... the meeting ran to long and no questions could be answered. Ding do-g. Find a new company to work for.

"How can some people get away with quiet quitting and others not? It seems like the people who say the least are the best at quiet quitting and getting promoted. Its a vicious cycle."
They get promoted and then hire people who are more incompetent than they are.
It keeps the person who got promoted safe from anyone who might eclipse them.
Basically the d-mbing down of a company.

Just think Catch Me If You Can with a significantly less attractive Leonardo DiCaprio
Is Micron still doing stacked ranking? Got out a few years back right after.
You are being replaced by foreigners, not just Indians. Start Botox early.
You are being replaced by Indians if you have not figured it out already.
It is coming from the top down probably in some way from entities like Blackrock.
They tend to be cheaper and more subservient.
I am not even sure Indians like Blackrock since some of them view Blackrock as something similar to the East India Company.
Stagnant pay rates is only part of trying to make last your entire career at Micron.
Ask to see the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (OWBPA) disclosure for your team that was sent out as part of the layoffs. In this document thay have to disclose the Job Title, Worker Location, Age and if they were terminated for all US workers under each VP. In the one I received, none of the 32 workers under 43 where let go. 100% of the terminated workers were in the age protected class, 67% of them were over 60 years old.
They won't share it with you, that is a safe bet. They will claim it is confidential information. It is not. They don't want you to see it because it shows a clear pattern of age discrimination violations that are illegal and in violation of the Micron Code Of Conduct.
Micron clearly wants a younger workforce. They will drive you out with wage stagnation and if that fails, you will be cut in the next layoff.
Let's see Sanjay and April answer to that in the next ATM.
The secret is to look busy and not talk. If you do talk, make sure to use British English before you get back to quiet quitting.
Some people can be quiet quitters for decades because they don’t talk and keep getting promoted and paid better. They know the right people to make this happen for themselves.
Today, corporations are an extension of the banking/finance sector. Gone (mostly) are the return on investment through profits per share. It has been replaced by the value of the share, which encourages corporations to asset strip themselves and implement layoffs for all but a select few, in order to hike share prices.
Sound like micron?
They should not get paid for never ending extenuating circumstances while everyone else picks up the slack for them and they take credit while throwing them under the bus. . .
People should get paid for how much they contribute. Period.
The income of employees with British English regardless of skin color need to be compared to the others.
The directors badging need to be looked into and also what credit and pay they take for others work.
Of course not.
Boise is no longer a cheap place to live.
People who came there because it was cheap are trapped now.
I'll put on my DEI hat.
The current workforce at Micron has a higher percentage of white folks probably
than the current new hire folks.
If Micron is paying the new hires more, this means that Micron can now brag
it is paying white folks less than other races. Go Micron!
They are now in the same league as Microsoft who also bragged that it was paying
its white employees less. Oddly, both CEOs come from the same country.
People should not help the new hires too much
meaning don't give them too much of your knowledge or write too much down.
If you know Micron well enough then you know you may be training your replacement.
Micron has very little loyalty or trustworthiness.
That is just the way it is and is not unique.
It happens in all place nowadays even like Nike:

it may be a good idea to post people's salaries
it would provide a certain level of transparency
folks would be able to see if someone's salary matched their contribution to the product
