They're so desperate they are willing to pay while training newbies. (Granted, only $15/hour, which you can earn flipping burgers). Confirming what we know - high paid engineers are leaving by the busload, the new plan is hire cheap labor. It's the new GF model. Love it or hate it, it is what it is.
Many people are leaving company and they are not doing replacement in most cases. Even people hired not well trained and it cause people supporting them extended hours and with hikes they are giving people feel extended hours affect work life balance also to leave.
Also many position they are trying to fill in Bangalore , India but people there also resigning or not working effectively.
I don't think any new R&D.All they want is save cost and show profit to run business this year and get promotion. Not worried about long term

GlobalFoundries could hire 40 or more candidates for its technician training program in Malta over the next few weeks.
The computer chip manufacturer is on a mission to expand its pipeline of mechanically-inclined workers to help clean, operate and repair equipment at its $15 billion factory in Saratoga County. GlobalFoundries has a goal of hiring 100 entry-level technicians this year.
"We are hiring to meet operational needs so that we are not always reactionary," said Jordan Steller, senior director of human resources for the Malta plant.
The company recently created a technician training program that offers starting wages of $15 to $16 an hour plus medical and retirement benefits for entry-level technicians. Candidates do not require a college education and spend two years doing on-the-job and in-class training before being promoted to a level-two technician, which carries a higher pay scale.
GlobalFoundries identified its first 40 to 50 candidates after hosting a job fair last weekend at the Hyatt Hotel in Malta. The company still is searching for candidates online at gfcareersmalta.com.
GlobalFoundries currently has about 250 open positions in Malta. About half of those openings are for technicians. The remainder include engineering, finance, facilities maintenance, logistics and other business support roles.
Now that all my friends are out of there, it's interesting watching GF flounder. It's funny to see how you guys are like people on the Titanic, except you don't realize the boat is sinking. You're discussing deck chairs, and what the band should play, but you're failing to see the water line is getting closer and closer. Have fun finding the lifeboats are long gone.
Hey dinosaur, like get with the times, we don't flip burgers anymore, it;s almost the '20s we got like robots to do that sh...stuff. I like gotta be checkin; out IG and FB and just keep makin sure like robochef is takin' care of biz.
Yeah, I saw you in the other day, you might want to like lay off the fries...better yet, go bunless on the burger. We also have a nice grilled chicken option that is only like 25% chicken-by-products...yummy. Oh yeah, Roxy from the payday loan place across the street said to remind you that you have only 10 days get your PDL up-to-date or you'll like incur big penalties (not sure what that means but I think you do.)
Sorry, Barney, but I like gotta jet, another busload of engineers from GLobalfoundries just rolled in and robocchef needs some oil.
Go back to flipping burgers and yes, I will have fries with that.
But I'm glad you find your own jokes LOL funny,
Really? Do you understand the difference between a production person and an engineer?
Oh, sorry, gotta go, my "engineer" bus is here--LOL.
(Still regretting missing out on that bonus, huh?)
