This place is so toxic
At first I thought it was just me and that I needed some time to adapt to my new job's environment. But no, as time goes on, it is becoming increasingly clear to me that this place is simply toxic. Has it always been like this?

Why are there so many inflated egos among managers here?
It doesn’t matter how hard you work as long as you manage to feed your manager’s inflated ego. However, since I’m not a person who wants to play games like that, my manager will always find some objection to my work. On the other hand, I really... — read more

New hires are only slightly less paid
I was actually glad to learn that new hire has almost the same salary as me, even though I've been loyal to GF for years. But on the other hand, isn't it a little humiliating when they equate someone who has just arrived and who has almost no... — read more

Disliked Prudential, Empower even worse
Any update on moving back to Fidelity ? When companies give substandard employee benefit support in order to maximize their balance sheet, it never turns out well for the company and worse for the employees.
Attrition keeps getting worse
I don't see any need for layoffs any time soon. We're losing more than enough employees through attrition.

How is Dresden Fab doing nowadays?
Lockup period coming soon
So the lockup period for GFS Is coming soon. As per https://www.marketbeat.com/ipos/lockup-expirations/ it is 04/26/2022. Maybe it’s time to unload the stock before it falls? Any comments
Is it true that the managers have been directed to be extra active on LinkedIn for sharing, liking globalfoundries related posts for attracting new hires?
Will there be any layoffs in 2022
Going back to the original question asked on this board, will we have any layoffs soon?
Another chaotic proposition
MICLEDI microdisplays Announces Agreement with GlobalFoundries to Collaborate on MicroLED Displays for AR Glasses. So this is probably happening in Dresden and how are they going to make it who knows

How are managers evaluated?
I really thought my manager would be cut long time ago. He is still here, of course, but because of him, fewer and fewer of my colleagues are still here. How is it possible for horrible managers to stay in their positions for so long? Some are even... — read more
