I am noticing lot of fellows are retiring from amd. Is this a forced retirement? Generally if the stock is doing well why retire ?
Amd fellow is the easiest

Andrej needs to take care of a few more of his paesans and childhood classmates first
In some teams, definition of AMD-fellow is changing from 'photo-op', 'meeting attendance' to actual work that affects the bottom line.
That is why many fellows decide, it is time to just retire.
It is not just fellows, even directors/sr.mgrs who are in their late 40s, early 50s are leaving while clearly saying that they don't have anything planned.
But people with good political backing are staying in 'photo-op' roles with no agenda or accountability. They are 'architects', 'evangelists' who will sign off on things, but only when things go well.
Long time AMDer RSU vests are too good rn!!! They are getting theirs while it lasts.
Maybe Andrej can finally retire too!
