Does anybody know when those who have been laid off in the latest round will receive severance? Wasn't it supposed to already be paid out?

Have the roles and responsibilities been made clear for the 14nm "differentiation" team. What is the former 7nm team going to do?

To all My friends who still there and those who already busy with job search. Obvious time to move on and let this ship sink itself in next few months. Let Leaders enjoy their loot and we enjoy notice period pay !!!
