US and EU will not stand up for their workers or corporations. Any one who does is called names and smeared. India government doesnt care about the stock or working environment of anyone elses business. They only protect their own.

It did. Im sure well pretend to find more low performers soon and then theyll be out a couple of months later. Its an entirely pathetic company at this point.

Being handsomely paid a sizeable salary, bonuses and RSUs. Preparing and presenting some slides, once a week. [08:20] schestowitz[TR2] I am afraid, there might be no other company that can provide the same luxury. Maybe, changing career is required.

Given that next step is active, I cant see a voluntary being offered. Its all about costs and older employees are viewed as costly liabilities [08:20] schestowitz[TR2] 17 hours ago by Anonymous [08:20] schestowitz[TR2] | 5 reactions (+5/-0) | Reply [08:20] schestowitz[TR2] Post ID: @xx+1kzfrptd2 [08:20] schestowitz[TR2] +4 [08:20] schestowitz[TR2] @wk [08:20] schestowitz[TR2] Is there another voluntary coming?

    Linux Kernel 7.2 RC7 Released: Stable Version Scheduled for Next Weekend

    [08:53] schestowitz[TR2]

    The total Linux kernel tree recently blew past the 43 million lines of code milestone. Although developers continuously clean up old code, such as removing the ancient i486 processor support, the kernel continues to grow rapidly. Much of this size comes from modern hardware drivers. Specifically, the AMD graphics driver (AMDGPU) alone accounts for over 6.3 million lines of code.
