Is there going to be a layoff after the terrible earnings call?
Earnings report is this week
Is there anybody who expects anything good from it?
What's the deal with GCM?
Seems like a lot of turnover!
Has job market improved any?
I see many people are leaving these days, does that mean that the job market has improved? When I was looking to leave about six months ago I couldn't find anything that paid well enough for me to be willing to take that risk and quit. If things are... — read more

Any layoffs soon ?
Anymore layoffs ?
Change the company or industry?
Honestly, I'm not so sure anymore if it would be enough to just leave this company or if it's wiser to leave this industry altogether. Unfortunately, I do not have enough transferable skills to do the latter. There are more and more people... — read more

Returning to Boise
I was hired during the pandemic, and allowed to work from home until now.
The work is just piling up
I can't remember exactly when they started rapidly adding more and more work to my plate, but now something is expected of me that is definitely not realistic. My manager is not interested to hear any arguments, he wants to meet the unrealistic... — read more

A question for everyone who's left.
I've been away from Micron for a while now. I just want to hear from the people who are still there, how have things changed since the layoffs? More or less stress, work, sense of stability? Tell me your story. It may help others who read it.
Micron's Compliance and Ethics Program is just for show
Don't bother submitting anything to the Compliance Helpline (https://www.micron.com/integrity) as Micron simply ignores them. I'm sure Rob Beard insists that they sit on any complaints of illegal activities until the statute of limitations is... — read more
2023 / 2024 not very good for all
expect the expected, hope I'm wrong and next to be reduced from the forces. Cisco, Apple, Qualcomm, Intel, Bombardier and list goes on . . .
This layoff was very different from prior reductions.
In prior layoffs at Micron you where low hanging fruit for the layoff if you had poor reviews, attendance problems or your managers didn't care for you. This time the cuts in many cases didn't happen to just the low hanging fruit and in some... — read more

I'm not waiting for the next round
There will be a next round of layoffs. And there will be another one after that. And probably another one after that. Micron management doesn't know how to improve revenue other than cost cutting, which basically equals layoffs. Why would I want to... — read more

Hello everyone. I don't care if you are for or against Micron. Let me tell you my story. I knew a guy who's life revolved around Micron. He was a T4 and he worked on average 60 hours a week for the 5 years that I knew him. He made a buttload of... — read more
So Micron took on $6.5 billion in debt. Sounds like we are screwed

Stick to smaller companies
I keep hearing from a lot of folks how they're being ghosted by the companies they've been applying to. When they list the companies, it's always the tech giants who have all been having layoffs in the last 12 months. Stick to smaller companies. I... — read more
