Late paycheck
I’m hearing that everyone (Malta) who usually gets their paycheck deposited this morning isn’t seeing it yet… What’s going on in that HR/Payroll department?!
People complaining about too much work, not enough people blah blah blah
Been reading some posts on here and bring a counter point. It’s funny, I observe the same people who complain about too much work, not enough people are also the lowest of performers in the company who tend to bask in the tedious day to day status... — read more

Raises for L5 and below
Raises will hit for Level 1-5. Rumor is 5% immediately. Job level 6 will get equity options that reach maturity in 2 years. That is at least something for some people. For J6+ enjoy your raise in 2 years. Because you know inflation only hit... — read more
The solution is not to overwhelm us with work
No colleagues who left recently have yet been replaced. Instead, all the work is done by the rest of us who remained here. I could somehow accept that if I knew that the replacements will be hired soon. However, as things stand now, it seems... — read more

Any layoff rumors so far?
Anything you can share?
What a crazy place to work!
I made a big mistake when I came here. I thought GF was a much better organized company. Turns out this is a big mess. I guess it wasn't so disorganized in the past?
June, Attrition Season
It's June and the exodus has begun
Don’t believe their promises
Now I can't help but roll my eyes when the manager starts promising promotion. I feel terrible because I wasted my time here because I really believed in what the manager was saying. How many times have you been promised getting promoted... — read more
Intern Season
Interns should be joining our teams soon. How much are they making this year? $30hr still? Higher than the average technician wage right?
Why does HR receive so much flak?
I see a lot of posts criticizing HR here, but it's not clear why the posters are being critical. The posts are like "get rid of HR", but mostly without cause or reason. Without getting too specific, why?
Why is it that no one believes in this company anymore?
I have been working here for a long time and I have witnessed bad times before. However, back then everyone hoped that things would change for the better and they really did get better after a while. This time, it seems that no one believes that... — read more
Are you also worried about who will leave next?
I'm looking for a job but I haven't received any offers yet. In the meantime, I fear who will be the next of my colleagues to leave, even though I am glad when any of these hardworking people manage to get out of here. It is stressful waiting for... — read more
What would you do to build trust w/GF
If you were part of the SLT, what would be your plan to reinstate trust with the company ? This is a question for the long term folks who have lived through this relationship.
People increasingly considering leaving this place
I was hoping that the attrition would slow down because I really can't stand all the stress and overload anymore. But I haven't noticed that actually happening. How do you deal with the effects of attrition?
Sr Manager favoritism
The current trend is send the favorites out temporarily and rehire them in 2 levels up. A recent Sr Module manager rehire his favorite in year and half at 2 level higher to what he left before (level 6 to level 8) to management position falsely... — read more
Poor planning, poor staffing
GF did almost nothing to keep the best people. Isn't that awful? The company is doomed.

Attrition numbers?
Hey, There was a post on here earlier today mention attrition numbers …. It’s gone now. Why? And can someone quote those values again Thanks
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?

IT issues
I like how there is an equal amount of GC questions about IT issues and wages. Who is enjoying Microsoft 365? Talk about a terrible decision. Whose idea was it to switch to Microsoft? Some consultant? Which? Are we still paying them? Are they the... — read more

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

https://www.bizjournals.com/albany/news/2022/05/02/globalfoundries-wins-department-defense-contract.html The contract award might be true but it is not because of the contract that 45 nm will move to Malta but mainly because of EFK being sold to... — read more
Future of GF
A deja vu moment. Remember when chuck shumer talked about Saratoga chips https://semiwiki.com/semiconductor-manufacturers/296139-the-globalfoundries-impending-ipo/ Maybe he knew something then of what was happening in EFK and was already predicting... — 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
