Can anyone remember the last time a promotion went to the most qualified person, and not just someone's friend or relative? I feel like genuine merit-based advancement doesn't exist at this company anymore. How are we even supposed to stay motivated... — read more

Reorg if Silabs acquisition goes through?
Anyone have any thoughts about the pending SiLabs aquisition?
Another IT reorg
KP, the witch herself, announced today that Sales, Marketing, and Workforce Solutions are now joining. Get ready folks in IT, another RIF is at the doorstep.
No RSUs or options?
Did anyone get RSUs or options on their white sheet this year? I had been getting sign-on refreshers since I started five years ago. I haven’t got my white sheet yet, but I don’t see anything in UBS.
For the few who are still content, why?
I am just trying to understand what positivity anyone still has towards their job or this company after the constant hits to morale.
quitting and profit sharing?
I know profit sharing pays out on the 13th, but with all of the recent changes, I'm even more over it than I have been. As long as we made it through 12/31/2025, are we good to leave whenever before 2/13 and still get profit sharing? I could put... — read more
Any update on layoffs?
If so what location/ department?
Company-wide pay cuts
Just so people are aware, TI just substantially cut profit sharing for 2026 onward. We all basically got a large pay cut.
Upcoming new layoffs
New year, mew layoffs soon,
Does TI payout TBK when quitting with proper notice?
Does anyone know if TI pays out TBK if you give proper 2 week notice with a quit date? Will they walk you out and still lay you for 2 weeks or do they walk you out and you’re done?
How would you quit?
2 weeks notice or quiet quitting?
Retirement Package possibility?
Heard a rumor retirement packages may be offered next quarter along with a possible rift targeting MS in dmos5. Anyone heard anything?
How can anyone stay invested when it means nothing?
Hard work and dedication clearly don’t pay off, and layoffs are always looming. Why should anyone care about the outcomes? Worse, from what we’ve seen over the years, the better you are at your job, the higher the chance you’ll be cut. And god forbid... — read more
Texas Instruments Layoffs 2026
This thread is for info about potential Texas Instruments layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?
Why do mistakes lead to promotions here?
I’ve never before worked at a company where people who mess up majorly get rewarded. Why is this happening?
Layoff fatigue
Anyone else just feeling exhausted and like there's no job security at this company after quarterly layoffs for almost two years now?
Any layoffs in Kilby Fab (KFAB) or Design groups in the Forest Lane Building.
So for months I've seeing posts about layoffs of fab personal primarily in older and lower tier fabs. Just curious, has anybody heard of layoffs or potential layoffs of people in the research groups in Kilby Fab (KFAB) consisting of a lot PhD's, or... — read more

New lay off?
Are we gonna have lay off on December12?
Upcoming IT layoffs
I was recently made aware that IT is also having a layoff this quarter at the same time as the fabs. I was wondering if anyone knows how substantial it is?
Rumors of more layoffs at RFAB
Been hearing rumors through the grapevine of more RIFs at RFAB
For those who think H1b is the problem...
As a H1b employee I constantly see some posts blaming H1b as cheap labour to replace US work force, I would say it is totally wrong. TI almost exclusively hire non US ncg only if the personnel has a PhD degree recent years. For someone who is not... — read more
TI - Change Needed
What is it going to take from those left in the DFW area to say enough is enough? TI is a woke company that doesn't care about its employees and continues to sell out our jobs to India. Leaders in the company are DEI placements, especially IT, and... — read more
Rumor: 750 plus additional to be announced in December. Packages may even be offered this go around.
More bad news coming?
Keep seeing articles about banks and holding companies selling TI stock
Reasons for layoffs!
I will start: C-level folks like $$$, pumping up their bonuses. China and tariffs and all other competition. The analog semi market is in shambles, demand is down and wafer starts are down - this will persist for a while. Meanwhile, we'll keep... — read more
With the guidance TI gave last week we should all expect layoffs to continue for a while.
There should be no doubt. I guess we'll be using this site a lot. Not a good thing at all.

New Layoffs?
The local Dallas news station ran a story about more jobs cuts coming at Dallas, Sherman and Richardson into 2026.
Total impact from what I can see
Closed Manchester site. 50- Closed Cary NC. A few got transfers to knoxville. Closed Federal Way. That entire PL is transferred to India. Multiple groups had their product and test teams gutted and transferred to India so expect design for those... — read more

I want to be laid off
If there was a simple way to volunteer without risking being fired as a result for some manufactured reason, I would do it without thinking. I'm honestly worried that we're moving toward potential layoffs without severance, so I'd be happy to grab... — read more
