My roommate got terminated today. He is in a state of total shock. Anyone else got affected? Also, DM if you know details on the severance package/notice period. My roommate seems to be getting a really bad deal with barely any severance package. #layoffs #nvidia #h1b
Wtf how are they laying off, they're making a killing... are these Engineering Roles? Is this to pay for their ARM buyout? I'm shocked myself.
Exactly my thought process wrt to the ARM acquisition!!!!! Yes, this was an engineering role. Just want to know if this is more widespread and looking to get a sense of what severance Nvidia offers.
Are you sure it’s layoffs?
Yup. Got good feedback last cycle. "Restructuring" was mentioned on the call with his manager.
It might be specific to your friend, I haven’t heard anything company wide and there is no chatter on Nvidia Blind either about layoffs.
This is not a typical nvidia response
No layoffs ! Stop with the rumors ! Your friend might have gotten fired for dumb shit ! Its really hard to get laid off in NVIDIA ! Unless you do dumb shit !
Like what?
Like buying new rtx 3080 from internal gear store and selling on ebay to make profit !
Did he try for another role within the same company? Different org maybe
He wasn't given a chance. Hadn't been informed of any underperformance or any sort of PIP until termination yesterday.
Haven’t heard anything about layoffs. Maybe your “friend” got PIPd and is covering?
Checked with. Apparently 2 people from his team. Asked him if it was some mess up they did.
What’s the severance package? I am interested!
2 weeks of pay and immediate termination.
That’s it? That’s pretty crappy.
Commiserations to your friend for losing the job. :( However, there are many possibilities, lay-off being one. It will help if you add more context. Else people will keep fighting over nothing.
What?? What team? Haven’t heard anything like that.
I don't know all the details but he is an ASIC engineer on your GPU Arch team. I know super vague but will get more details when he is ready to talk.
