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 least vulnerable to outsourcing?

See my comment to the Union Troll Buster and count yourself as part of the club of the bent over, defeatist American.
@Union Troll Buster
Connect the fu----g dots. You'd rather be outsourced, off shored, or whatever the reinvented word is this decade. All you cease to be is an American slave if you don't fight for your own rights and well-being. You show us real Americans how weak you really are, how easily you sell out, accept defeat, keep that head down, and bent over in that position you keep yourself in for the man to sc--w you. You must really like it being in that position. Yeah, you're the admirable one. /s

@1oeg Hello consultant! Unions don't only exist to prevent layoffs. If you want to explore why GE and other companies do lay people off and send jobs overseas, we can do that too.
At GE the layoffs are done in a predictable way. The state has a union too even for engineers. I am not saying we should have a union but they aren’t all bad
“You can take this “union talk” and shove it; we’re not listening here, no more.”
Ask GE employees how the union worked out for them, especially in Schenectady: 60,000 workers all the way down to less than 3,000. Boy, looked like unionization saved them from layoffs.
Not until 12/12’? I thought 11/28 and 11/29? Most of us just can’t wait to leave and are hoping for three months pay plus severance
GF employees need to understand who runs GF and why things are happening the way they are right now. Mubadala (~85% majority stockholder) and their spy Tim Breen (labeled advisor to CEO) control Caulfield and Reeder. Breen believes all employees are just widgets and they can be replaced by anyone in low-cost geos to enable overall lower salary costs for GF to better compete with other foundries on gross margins. For this reason, every engineer and tech across US, Germany and Singapore should form/join a union if one does not already exist like in Germany to protect their jobs and themselves. The strong rumor is this layoff will happen on 12/12/22 and then hiring in low-cost geos will happen soon after, GF employees need to come together and unionize quickly!!! The only hope to keep jobs in the US and Singapore is for those sites to form unions/works councils like Dresden has. #GFUnion
A lot of EEs weren’t allowed to work from home
Maintenance Technicians- Facilities- Chem-Ops, In Fab Services, Logistics are the last to go.
EE’s, Purchasing, Planning, Development, IT, Process, Some Management, integration aren’t needed on-site. They mostly worked from home during the pandemic.
I think MT and equipment engineer and MSM are least vulnerable to outsourcing
