Creating a culture of mediocrity - Technician GlobalFoundries Employee Review

The pay here is a JOKE compared to industry standards, yet HR will tell you with a straight face that you should be grateful for making more than the building services technicians at Target. No joke, Target ! Because we all know how cutting edge and highly technical a Target warehouse must be ! Zero incentive to be a top performer, so you might as well take it easy, not stress, and earn the same 3 and the same $00.27 raise as the guy who worked his tail off hoping to get a 4 or 3.5 (creating a culture of mediocrity) Why care ? Why do a good job ? The whole "market down turn" excuse only works if you actually paid us when there was a semiconductor bull market. But you didn't, and there was a different excuse then too. Every ambitious, zealous, competent employee has undergone a metamorphosis into a lazy, take it easy, do just enough to keep my boss off my back -slacker, you can thank the succession of upper management for the culture of mediocrity created at Fab8. If you've actually managed to stick it out through the dismal projects, forced vacation furloughs, crappy raises, false promises, missed paydays, then HR just views you as someone that would've left already if they had a better opportunity somewhere else.
