Joined AMD Austin as a MTS (post silicon) a year ago from Samsung Austin. Received pay bump and got RSU for the first time. From last performance review got rating of low 3 which is bad for MTS level and below team's expectations. Today, I had call with one of the VP and they gave me unofficial warning of future termination within 2-3 months as AMD is not same as it was before Covid. Yet to confirm this with manager. I feel like I am loser now. Not sure what to do. AMD tc= 150 + 50k/4 years Yoe: almost 9 years #amd #samsung #nvidia #apple #qualcomm #nxpsemiconductor
Do you think your peers are performing better than you or they are just better at being vocal about their performance? I was a victim of silence and since I started speaking up in meetings, my rating has improved.
Start interviewing
You in client bu? I have a feeling that client is going to suck... but this is worse
Sorry to hear it. Start applying asap.
Alright .. you now have enough warning and you know for sure you're screwed.. don't even think about waiting to hear from manager .. your VP already told you! Sink it in your head!! Don't quit.. let them fire you and pay severance 🤞 Your goal is to pretend you give a flying flock about the team and pretend you're trying to make up! But completely focus on interviews only .. If you have some tasks that you "want" to finish to make your manager or team happy - forget it.... Just do the bare minimum ... I've seen first hand leaving - it'll be for nothing. You're just a replaceable item for the team unless you're distinguished engr. Just try to stay on good terms with your manager JIC you need help for future reference! bee sell fish Companies don't just screw you.. they cheat you!
Tell your VP to put on PiP.
Fuckin insensitive vp
No need to feel like a loser. When I was at AMD, hiring was abysmal, lot of good engineers left due to politics or terrible TCs compared to incompetent new hires. Middle management was clueless and promoted the wrong people to higher posts, who are still politicking - if that's a word lol. So a rating of 3 doesn't mean you start doubting yourself. If I were to guess, the manager is clueless and is paying attention to who is making the most noise. Most common theme of AMD promos. Keep your head up, start prepping and leave! Maybe check back with Samsung if you still have contacts there?
Exactly what's happening inside AMD. They value loud-mouther than real doer. Fking sad
This post is BS
Did not they gave you any PIP Plan ?

What happens when most of your team is Indian?
Interview. You’ve got generous notice
You might try to turn it around and start performing, but it’s difficult within 2-3 months, easier to interview and gtfo
