If I come into work late every morning am I at risk to be laid off? Asking for a coworker.

I can no longer focus on my work at all
Being realistic about the time and effort required to get a new job, I have enormous anxiety about what will happen if I lose my job. Anyone managing to stay focused at work?
Our manager tries to make us feel safe
It is interesting how much the manager tries to make us believe that our positions are safe. Anyone else have such a manager? I hope that not many buy into it so that later they don't regret not being more proactive in looking for new offers.
Waitinggggggggggggggggggg
I doubt we will get any useful info from TC tomorrow, he will probably give an usual corporate speech about economy, inflation etc, and not any specific details. Lot of people will be disappointed after waiting for so long. Just my take.
New update
Just in and confirmed. They are targeting people who cook fish in the microwave
The number of those who would like to volunteer
I would most rather get a voluntary package and forget about this place. Also I think at this moment most people would be very happy to volunteer. True? This is the reason why GF does not offer voluntary packages first, because no one wants to be... — read more
How will GF attract talented people later?
After these cuts, I think it will be harder than ever for this company to attract talented employees. I would never come back here again. Leadership moves do huge damage to the company in the long term.
The primary needs are never to have happy employees
If you haven't learned by now - the primary goal is never for us to be happy and therefore more productive, but to boost stock prices and for the leadership to fill their pockets. It's all just business == > With that in mind, we should also... — read more
FAB 8 Starting EOB today
Starting EOB today continuing through EOB Wednesday. Good luck folks.
what are the chances
that the amount of work to do will decrease for teams that are affected by the layoffs?
RBA Audit
Will be a very interesting ethics audit
Just waiting
Remember how TC’s video said they respected the people feeling the stress of uncertainty and would make the moves as quick as possible? I’m sick of waiting, and will be surprised if TC feels safe in a room of 300 people to give out more bad news on... — read more

How GF reached to this low
I thing credit goes to TC for bring GF to this low where it is today. If you see, it was clearly coming all through these years but instead of telling truth, TC kept leaking lie that GF will survive with so called feature rich model. All BS. Anyone... — read more
What do you think the employee survey will be like?
Bad or worst ever?
If the layoffs are after global cast…
I don’t think they will be next week if after global cast as they usually like to do all five shifts over two days so would do Tuesday/Wednesday or Wednesday/Thursday.
GF will survive and continue to make chips
Have seen countless down cycles over the past 30+ years. GF will survive and continue to make chips. Eventually it will get sold and change control. The semiconductor industry has had a spectacular run. This was overdue. It won’t even be a bad one... — read more
Instead of typing a wall of bitterness here...
You could whine all day here and complain against the inevitable, or you could use that same amount of time, and reach out to your ex-coworkers that have found gainful employments elsewhere and more than happy to help you network for the... — read more
Many will regret that they invested so much effort
Unfortunately, I think that after the axe falls, those who put in the most effort and gave their best will be the most disappointed. It's been clear to me for a long time that a lot of things here are fake and that the best off are those who do... — read more
Seems they didn't even bother to save the jobs

Happy Thanksgiving
To all you fab workers and covering engineers working on this Thanksgiving Day instead of being with their families You are the true ones of GF. Enjoy your free lunch.
How valued do you feel at work?
I'm asking because it feels like not only does the ELT not respect or value employees, but they actively despise us. My former employers were not perfect either, but at least I knew my contributions were appreciated and rewarded accordingly. None of... — read more
My team is already in turnover contagion
What GF and its terrible and horrible managers, directors and VPs do not realize that layoff has ripple effect. It is so demoralizing for those who remain in the company. We had so tough time and hardly came out of 7 nm pivot and it’s affect. Now... — read more
To all, GloFo's here...
Remember that you are more valuable than this! You need to save yourself and your families, no one is coming to save you.
GF has been and always been a sewer
Come on folks, once they cried Uncle to even deliver 7 nm it was over. What a laugh the GF story is. GF is probably more tied to the cheapest consumer chips. Only desperate losers that can't even order a chip from TSMC. TSMC has 3 nm test chips... — read more
My relationship with GF is purely transactional
I don't care at all anymore. If the company's leaders don't care about the rapidly sinking future of GF, why should we? I used to be frustrated by all the wrong decisions of the leadership, but since I changed my attitude in general and decided... — read more
McKinsey + GlobalFoundries + GF C Suite + Lawyers = Anti-union
Connect the fu----g dots people. I see the M.O. See who is associated with who. You'll see threads about GE and the paid anti-union creeps using "outsourcing" scare tactics. Sorry, wrong! Outsourcing already happening with Bangalore. You can easily... — read more
Protected Concerted Activity - Be a hard target
GF doesn't touch the workforce in Dresden because it's a hard target. The government and Union protect those workers, and if there is a workforce action, the process is very well-defined, expensive, and complicated for GF. Currently, GF leaders are... — read more
Outsource plan
It is increasingly obvious that the leadership intends to outsource as much as possible. I think that it is a very short-sighted plan, but only time will tell. I wonder if there are any roles in this company and in the tech industry that are the... — read more
Instead of hiring replacement, they double our workload
They are absolutely not interested in the fact that I must take time from my own duties to fill in for the colleague who left the company. If they cared even a little about it, the replacement would've been already hired. And of course, now I'm... — read more
At this point almost hoping
After nearly 2 weeks of waiting and wondering, I am over it. GF has revealed itself as a clusterf”ck of a company. Hope having GF on the resume doesn’t hurt me in my job search. Either way I am leaving GF through layoff or quitting. Gonna head south... — read more
CEO should be removed
Just recently, Disney CEO B.C. was let go. Reports say that he wanted to make profit margin higher through cost-cutting measures, a hiring freeze, significant layoffs, and setbacks. Given the history of Disney, they never did such a thing in the last... — read more
It's only when you leave GF that you realize how bad this place is
I ran away from my incompetent manager who used every opportunity to express his animosity towards me. I'm only now seeing how bad this place was. It will take me some time to recover from the stress I experienced here. GF is the place where many... — read more
