Thread regarding Micron Technology Inc. layoffs

I'd be supprised if they do not reimburse you for expenses if they recend your offer.

@1cey+1kjx8u3b Unfortunately I took the job and am moving down there. I have lease signed and stuff. I spend so much money to move. I just need couple good years of experience and I'll leave for something more stable (if I last two years).

If I were you, I would tell them to kick rocks and look for another company to work for. Micron used to be the best company, but since San-Jagoff took over, it's all about helping the shareholders at the employee's expense. I worked for Micron for 20 years and every week I would go to work things were worse than the week before. If you have a masters then you have way better options than what Micron can give you. I promise you that if you take the job and move down their, you will regret it.

@1nko+1kjx8u3b Thanks for the response. That is somewhat of a relief but this whole situation is pretty sh---y.

I am a masters so I assume I'm compensated higher than a bachelors and from my talks with some people there as high as some PhD. Do you think that makes much of a difference?

I honestly need a couple good years until I get some experience.

You should prepare yourself for the possibility that your offer will be rescinded but you are probably safe.

Historically the layoffs tend to target the more senior employees to carve out the people receiving higher compensations. Headcount reductions are all about short term opex savings for the immediate quarter so the more $$/employee they're able to cut the better, the longterm impact of cutting experienced employees isn't the main consideration in situations like this.

New grads usually survive layoffs unless the department they're entering is really struggling to find a person they can toss under the bus without the whole org collapsing. Your compensation isn't high enough to give the execs enough bang for their buck in the accounting trickery they're doing with headcount reductions.
