Definitely an excellent move my HR, thank you.
Is it bad everywhere?
As the title states, how are the other departments doing in fab 8? Have any positions been backfilled since last year? Management is acting so despondent. AI this, pick up the slack, no work. What the heck is going on?
A decade of watching them destroy knowledge

GFS Price Action
Ok, what is actually happening with GFS price. Is it organic in any way or is it merely resultant of including Apple in recent headlines? Those of you involved inESPP as well as those receiving RSU should be very interested in the answer.

A few years back gfs offered retirement package to employee of age >55 + 10 yrs service or >60 age + 5 yrs. HR head in townhall ever said she will prepare the detailed package and I heard people received the offer from HR. Is still available ?

They are getting ready to replace us
Forced Ai training. And soon to be forced to use Ai. While my director and mangers openly joke and laugh about how Ai is so great and will eventually take will our jobs. Great morale boost while they actively talk about wanting to boost morale.
Opinion on the AI insight everyone forced to watch
my opinion, complete waste of time. Department trying to justify their wasted "AI" investment.
AI is the new outsourcing (yes, we will be replaced)
And so it begins: the pressure from above to start using AI tools. The reality: whatever can be replaced in the next years will be. We wont need to outsource anymore, AI will do it. So, if things are bad, it will get worse.

Anyone know their salary, bonus, promote or layoff already?
