You wouldn’t know what a conservative is if you tried. You’re just a dimwitted authoritarian who thinks other people’s lives are their business, you have vastly more in common with the communists in Cuba than anything a real Republican would stand for.
Beware: higher up execs can change the policy of working from home or replace you by lower priced “consultants”.
The company I work at has been laying people off due to switching to Microsoft Office 365 and Oracle. Those people now do the work instead of the now former employees. We had 2 people move to other states about 2 years ago and they were given permission and told they could keep their jobs. One was in the network dept and the other in the Help Desk. Both lost their jobs soon after moving as the new higher up execs changed the policy of working from home. They were offered their jobs if they moved back but again would have lost their jobs with the news below. They went to Idaho and Arizona.
Yesterday we got an email saying a call center company was hired to replace those that left in our Help Desk dept and that we would be cross training them starting next week..... That they would move to working nights and weekend shifts. We already have 3 people on nights and they are not that busy so.... replacing and not adding to probably means they will lose their jobs and the day shift will be next, right after training our replacements!
That company is based in France and has offices all over the world. Some 225,000 employees.
The top 3 execs above my manager were all hired from India in the last 2 years and replaced 3 non Indians. I bet the manager is thinking he will be replaced and I bet he will be along with the west coast supervisor. The east coast supervisor quit last week as I bet he knows what is coming and he is leaving on his own terms. The director left a year ago and he was replaced by one on those from India.
I knew when I found out those from India were hired what was going to happen and unfortunately I was right!
I am lucky if I had to sell all my AMD stock I would have after taxes enough to last and last. I do not plan on selling but borrowing from the broker some money (margin money at 7%) and live off that next year while my stock goes up and up. It went from $28 to a high of $92 since October and some predictions are it may go to $200 to $250 next year or 2022.
I have been thru 2 other jobs where the plants or offices were closed en mass. Maybe if I stay long enough and get fired / laid off I will collect unemployment and maybe some plandemic money from the feds and state to see me thru as my stock rises : )
We're also re-insourcing our Help Desk and App Support folks after a disastrous outsourcing to WiPro and InfoSys three years ago which was so bad, we had high level Systems Engineers and Application Architects doing support and break-fix activities. Congrats on the AMD Stock. I too hold stock in them. I bought in at $17 and again at $25. When I saw the Ryzen platform I knew they had a winner. The computer I'm typing this on right now is a Ryzen 2700X and it's a screamer. My main PC is a Ryzen 3700X , water cooled, 32Gb of memory and an SSD Raid Array. Talk about fast! :-)
Water cooled? I would worry about a leak then zappppp!
Thanks to AMD and other stocks over the years but mainly AMD I will be able to retire.
AMD has gone up as much as 300+% since Oct 2019.
I hope 2021 is the same or better.
Since Jan 1, 2018 AMD has gone up over 600%.
I'm using the stock Ryzen coolers, they seem to do the job. The only machine I do have water cooling on is my FX-8350, which is OC'd up to 4.6Ghz (stable.) I have Ubuntu 20.04 on it with 32Gb of memory and an SSD Array. I use it mostly to run some virtual machines that are purpose built for specific tasks.
All my other machines are stock cooled and I don't OC. They're fast enough that I don't feel the need to.
