GlobalFoundries Hopes to Turn Profitable Amid the Chip Shortage https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-11-04/globalfoundries-gfs-hopes-to-turn-profit-amid-chip-shortage
There is fat that should be cut
However, when it comes to layoffs, that fat always remains unaffected. All the useless managers who barely have any direct reports and who don't even know how to do their own jobs, not to mention supervise others, always remain. Laying them off... — read more
What are you most dissatisfied with here?
I don't know if I am more dissatisfied with pay or the atmosphere that is becoming more and more toxic. What is most worrying is that no issue that employees generally complain about is ever fixed here, and issues are piling up very quickly.
Since GF doesn’t pay me fair wage, I couldn’t even afford shares
I have to live here for family. My college buddies are over at Samsung and Intel with the same experience… making a bit more than I do. But I live paycheck to paycheck. Must be nice for you selfish people fighting here to call us losers when I... — read more
Jim Cramer just said GFS is a buy - HOLD your stocks. Do not sell
Watch the segment o. YouTube And looked after after hours price After hours trading 4pm-8pm $53.00 https://youtu.be/Ve_x71Ck4CQ
GFS to the moon
Once again haters gonna hate but we are gonna be rich
Asking wrong ⁉️
Ask for a raise GF: Here's a hat Ask for RSUs (free stock shares) GF: Here's a coffee mug Ask for a pencil GF: Here's a raise
D&I really!!!!
The picture before ringing the bell and GFs leadership shows one chief of staff and the other one Laurie, so much for the D&I initiative.
"This is your [the employees'] IPO" - CFO
Oh, ok, thanks. When can we expect our RSUs? btw this was actually said
Hates gonna hate
While the haters gonna hate we are gonna be rich today….
Replace brand promotions/gift with shares
Please replace brand promotions like caps/t-shirt/bag/bottles and even gifts (appreciation gifts) with shares.
How soon can I sell DSP shares assuming I buy them tonight?
Is there a holding period, or I can sell them on the day of the IPO assuming they go up?
IPO
The top execs are given shares; workers are not. The buy in price sucks for a company that’s never actually seen profit. Why buy in? You’re a part of global foundries too. You worked through the pandemic while the top dogs sat on their a-s at... — read more
70 layer cake
Came across this gem https://www.netroadshow.com/custom/ipo/GLOBALFOUNDRIES/retail/disclaimer.html Did not know that the chips we make have 70 layers and they are just like cake with 70 layers

Show your disgust with the lack of sharing by the SLT with the fab workers who make the place run. While they're toasting themselves like Generals, it's the lowly infantry Fab soldiers that bleed every shift to make GF succeed. My last day is... — read more
Succeed or failure
Over the years I have always wanted the company to succeed that I work for. But for the first time ever there is a part of me that wants GFS to tank miserably even though I doubt that will happen. However, for all the false narratives and the... — read more
What are we even thinking
While we are whining about not get stock etc.. the top brass is in nyc already going to Broadway shows and partying at the expense of our raises.
DSP or IPO investment opinion
I am confused with GF DSP for employee. GF is making loss and there is no projection when they will make profit except statements like chip shortage, diversify fabs etc. We are not getting shares in discount or free why hard earned money needs to be... — read more
Priority to women
Is it only my observation or have other folks noticed SLTs hiring to many women chief of staffs and providing more workplace benefits such as opportunities, transfers, etc
Name sake managers/management
If managers don't have time for reporting people they should move out of people manager role. We need to pay all our travel expense from our personal card but manager will not approve the expense report for weeks. What is the role of manager in... — read more
Yes- man culture
Is being a yes man the only way to get ahead in this company? Why is there not much room here for those who don’t agree to become just another yes-man? I’m not that type and I think it cost me a lot at GF. When I look back, I think I would've ... — read more
what about training?
I am terribly sorry for the new employees who are totally lost here. GF hired them even though they knew they needed training and then they left those people to fend for themselves. Terrible!!! Neither I nor the other colleagues have the time to help... — read more
registering my disappointment
I've been at GF since late 2011. For those of you with similar time at fab8, you know the early years we went without raises and bonuses. In the intermediate years the raises and bonuses were laughable. And if what I read here is true, GF didn't... — read more
Unrealistic expectations
It seems to me that nothing I do is ever good enough for GF. Worst of all the more effort I put in the less valued it is so I'm starting to wonder why I bother at all. Admittedly, maybe I don’t understand their expectations of me. They seem to... — read more

will there be a layoff?
I am sure some of us want that motivation to look for another job and some time off, I can't be the only one, right? I never felt this way at another place before....
Everyone else has a whistle-blower. Why not us?
There was a comment, on the "Strike" post that caught my eye. Basically its saying get ahold of our senators and/or congressmen that are tied with GF, to tell them how they are acting towards their employees. With increasing workload and punishing... — read more
Strike.
Why aren't we striking like every other business in this country, 170k employees and counting fyi. Have any of you read the SEC filing? We get nothing and the directors and uppers get millions. Why is everyone so apathetic to their own situation in... — read more
Stop draining money
Can the SLT stop draining money by giving the stupid hats nobody gives rat’s a-s to wear that even though SLT would like the employees to wear it for free advertising. SLT should pay to deserve the free advertising.
IPO
I understand how top dogs could benefit and what an IPO could bring to this company, a lot has been written lately about that, but I don’t know if we, the employees, will benefit from a GF IPO as well? Thoughts? I don't have a good opinion of... — read more

Are you able to manage work-life balance?

They pretend to pay us, and we pretend to work.
