因客戶推遲訂單 AMD好基友GF三大裁員 - 3C

英文文字信號由記者轉成中文的 distortion 有多高呢？

先看第一篇報導

The voluntary retirement program is focusing on support roles in sales,
administration, information technology and finance. In the New York plants,
operators on the fab floor are also being offered early retirement,
but Keller said operators are not being targeted in Essex Junction.

簡單來說，很多地方會先砍一些像是業務, 財務, IT的人
NY那邊還會砍一些 operator

再先看報導二

Computer chip manufacturer GlobalFoundries wants to cut 10 percent of
its workforce at its Fab 10 in East Fishkill as it adds $150 million
in cuts to an existing $350 million cost-cutting program due to
weakness at the Dutchess County plant and in the overall
semiconductor industry.

(略)

GlobalFoundries acquired Fab 10 from IBM two years ago along with
IBM's Vermont chip factory. Both use less advanced technology than
Fab 8 and target different market segments.

"Demand in Fab 10 this year is less than 40 percent," Jha told employees.
Fab 10 is ramping up new products such as silicon photonics but they
won't create significant new revenue streams until 2019, Jha said.

簡單來看，GF併IBM晶片部門後(Fab 10)，這次的重點是砍掉Fishkill一些人
因為 Fab10 工廠的利用率很低

Jha said that the cost reductions are also designed to preserve
other budgeted priorities at the company. GlobalFoundries has also been
looking to add 200 workers at Fab 8 and another 200 at Fab 9,
the factory in Essex Junction, Vt.
