So far the rumor is that they're laying off marketing folks, not engineers. And we paid them to expand their microchip infrastructure, not create jobs.

- iancmceachern 4y agoThanks for this. I'm curious to dig a bit deeper. What is involved in expanding their microchip infrastructure? What would funds be spent on? It seems like hard tooling, buildings, fab lines, and then they need people to build install and run all that stuff. I guess I'm asking - am I missing something, like can they expand their microchip infrastructure without the labor of people? In my experience designing automation for fabs there is a ton of skilled labor that goes into every single fab, both to design and set it up but also to run it.
