Good for them! I hope they won’t get caught.
More people should rebel and hurt the companies like this. They’re laying people off not because there isn’t work, but because they don’t want to pay. All of the companies doing layoffs are also hiring, only they’ve created a market of desperation so they know they can give workers shitty deals.
Intel and all the other big corpos deserve this.
Everybody laid off needs to make new companies together as well. Good ones not on stock market that are unionized
In cases like this it's reaaaally hard to just start up a new competitor from nothing (assets wise). Building up production is not cheap.
Dude i made a microprocessor out of some scrap wood and copper wire I found behind a dumpster.
It has a bad habit of catching fire but im pretty sure with a few billion dollars of investment ill be able to create the greatest computer chip ever made
Here, I'll back you with three fiddy. Now I expect a 1758956% increase of my investment in the next 3 years, else I'll take my money elsewhere.
Deal. You fool.
Don't be so quick! I'll double his offer (but triple the demand for returns)
Idiots. I'm rich, I'm fucking rich!!!!
Just steal a bunch of their files on the way out so you have a head start.
The files aren't the problem. It's the production lines that are expensive, so there will be a huge cost upfront.
