AMD is doing a string of acquisitions lately with the most recent one being Taalas. I've heard that things are already dicey internally@amd
But are layoffs actually on the horizon because of these acquisitions ? Any chatter?

Yes there were layoffs in Longmont, CO office today.
Quiet layoff started in India
@9e3 Yes everyone. Goes into effect Jan 1 for those offices with space (Santa Clara). Later as space becomes available for everyone else.
@92r
Does RTO apply to all teams in Markham (Canada)? Or it's just team basis. Also when does it go into effect?
As a manger/employee I can confirm the RTO. Pretty stupid considering we’re in meetings all day with people from all over the world and then do the same thing at night. VPs said it’s to encourage collaboration but what’s the difference when I am on a headset all day. Just another sneaky way to lay people off without making a big announcement. With the new ridiculous workload, I wouldn’t be surprised if at least a third of us left or a third of the company imploded as the workload is unmanageable.
Turns out, yes. "Quiet Layoffs" are on the horizon with an upcoming forced RTO. About to see a lot of AMD out there.
Found the director of ATOM.
fu-k you for saying that youre hoping for layoffs, amd is doing fine (better than fine) and should share it with employees not shareholders
I hope so as a shareholder. Seems to be dangerously close to the path of intel which can destroy even high value acquisitions.
