AM I NEXT? NO LOVE AT ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES

Santa Clara, California-based Advanced Micro Devices, a fabless semiconductor company that designs, develops, and sells computer processors and related technologies for business and consumer markets, has announced a 4% reduction in its workforce.

The reduction will impact 1,000, including 29 employees located in California.

According to a company spokesperson, “As a part of aligning our resources with our largest growth opportunities, we are taking a number of targeted steps that will unfortunately result in reducing our global workforce by approximately 4%. We are committed to treating impacted employees with respect and helping them through this transition.”

Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life or promises for a bright future. We see good people being laid off through no fault of their own. Just because something terrible hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. While many employees can read the writing on the wall, why do most assume it’s targeted at someone else? Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
