Yeahh it is a common issue during/post-Pandemic.
They lock in GT for 2 years, unable to convert them.

Eventually most of us leave for other places. Or convert to Grade 3 in other departments, whichever open rack that is available for us.

I signed a 1 year GT contract, then since no headcount, I just jumped into PSG for another year.
Next year work as standalone 

Still Perm BB.

2021.5 - 2022.5 GT @ IPG, Intel
2022.5 - now -  G3 @ PSG, Intel

2024 PSG turns standalone, sooner or later we are not longer belong within Intel and celebrate wins together 

Ya..got lubang

then decided to take high risk move (that time my waifu pregnant)
intc actually counter me with next grade level + "some" increment ; but i reject ..cant compare

if detached then u can hop around intel and PSG aka altera again ma

just like last time ppl hop around intel and altera

now we even have L and M-lembut is expanding

on top of other competitor like Star and Sky

Yes

And most of the test chips is ...

Kek, no changes.

intc depending on org also can remote

2Q ago before i cabut ..my GT work remotely at his hometown for almost 1.5 years

If not mistake, coming layoff target should be PSG.

Internally got VSS (Corporate People Movement - Application Process) this quarter.
This batch is volunteer will exit in 31 Dec 2023...

Mostly those very senior 10 years++ will resign one ...
Well they plan to IPO in Sept 2024. Hopefully all numbers looks good without reducing headcount...
Else everyday fear of getting potong only. 

Well already being prepared to return to Office long ago  ...

I just personally not a fan of being in Office since the Jam became this horrible...
Once PG17 is built, will say good bye to the MDC folks edi.

Hopefully the come office early, leave office early culture still remains. 
Otherwise need to find cheap condo to rent around the South side of Penang Island.

Sg. Ara / Bayan Baru region too scary jam edi for just a tiny stretch of land 

lanjiaoa all this MNC company, pay big for freshy just wanna attract ppl come and then from there milk thier talent and brain washed hard work , later when time for them to increase salaries or promote to higher, they will use all kind of reason

Well that is given since 10 units of their shares can buy a locally made car while most 10 units cant even buy an iphone.

usually the cut is the - 10years+ senior above. then re-hiring the younger fresh graduate with AI assist.
