Bad or worst ever?

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.

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

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.

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 

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 

Remember that you are more valuable than this! You need to save yourself and your families, no one is coming to save you.

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

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 

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

We will be punished for building the company to be able to go public. Despite COVID, record profits. This is the big thank you we heard about for years. Sad how this happens. Work every day through the entire epidemic for nothing.

How cool would it be if they fire 10% of all managers?
