I do care about keeping my job here but it seems unlikely that one could make their position any safer regardless of how much the employee is dedicated to their work.

@aaz Yeah! And get called all of the time and asked to work weekends
Jump on the bandwagon of project like Pheonix that will keep you safe for minimum 3 to 5 years. Thereafter, seek another project mid way.
I personally plan on kissing PB’s rear end if I survive the layoff. Jus sayin
I suggest you stop the two-faced disguise of fighting for the common man and get back to a&&-l1ck1ng your superiors. You’ll be the first to rise and applaud PB on Thursday. Count on it.
27 years in Semiconductor. Have seen better and have seen worse. GF isn’t the worst.
@ 2ovt+1k90M33E
Well done. You for one have mastered the fine art of making your job safe! I bet you have also been at GF for 10 years and not into burning bridges :)
My department actually got it right with the people let go so far. They were not really contributing meaningfully. I feel bad for them regardless but at least I can say my bosses got it right.
@1aiw+1k90M33E
Completely agree, there are some phenomenal people who have been let go. It's possible to see the logic behind some but not all of the choices.
Squawking about boot (or whatever) licking does nothing other than degrades the impression of anyone that is left.
..... and I strongly suspect that a large number of those trolling or trashing these threads have not been let go or may not be here anymore (hence some of the BS or inaccurate sev notices).
I only say this because all those who have genuinely been impacted or dropped messages here in the threads don't troll, they accept and they look for support.
So unless you've been impacted I'd suggest you shut the f@@k up and take your toxic s@@t elsewhere to some sub-reddit counter revolutionary BS market where you can bask in your "told you so" echo chamber.
Been over 10 years here, I can say.. no one is truly safe.
I have seen level 10 technical experts/ holding key portfolio getting axed
Level 9/8 due to reorganisation and "transferred" to areas not within their expertise getting axed
Level 4/5 new hires getting axed
Excellent managers getting axed that their direct reports actually cried
It is part and parcel of life, and nothing is fair.
But one thing to take note is never burn your bridges, the world is a small place. You never know what will happen in the future
We can inly
Yes of course you can. Polish and lick your managers boots . Praise him/her/it at every opportunity (specially in front of his:her/it managers) for his/her/ it beauty, intelligence/leadership skills. Don’t forget to give all the credit for your own and colleagues work to he/it/she. And remember oneGF team thing
@jhm spotted the new guy! Guess you weren't around for 2018
Don’t be sh---y job. It’s really hard not to get fired. These people are mo--ns
At Globalfoundries no… you can become a subject matter expert (sme) on a niche topic and sure that will help a bit. But if you do over time you realize how grossly underpaid you are and want to leave on your own accord.
Yes, leave Gf
Yes. Take ownership of something key to the fab(s) and keep it to yourself
