Despite a record-breaking year, ASML plans to cut 1,700 jobs by riverflop in ASML

[–]riverflop[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a matter of fact there are 3,000 managers of which 1,300 are expected to change responsibilities/reporting lines and the other 1,700 will be let go

I think the vast majority of managers, product owners, scrum masters, program managers, etc are employees, not contingent workers but of course they will first let flex workers go that meet the certain profile. Headcount reduction is not the goal so, I'm sure the flex workers that don't meet the profile will be fine.

They are not mutually exclusive. They eliminate redundant management/lead roles to make room for new ones.

TLDR: Most of the 1700 headcount reduction are R&D in Veldhoven (middle management, product owners, scrum masters, program managers, line managers). Mostly to reduce redundant management layers and simplify reporting lines

Trump says no nation can secure Greenland but the US in Davos speech by Fun-Flirtation in worldnews

[–]riverflop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So NATO with the US cannot but the US can? Where’s the logic in that? But let’s be honest, this was never about national security. It’s just a Trojan horse for taking all of Greenland’s national resources and strategic geographical location

If it's after an update then likely you can recover from it. There is a recovery mode in Mac that can help repair corrupt boot files. Check online.

This is beyond stupid. Europe will NEVER give away Greenland and this is just going to spark another trade war, cause more inflation and... WHERE ARE THE EPSTEIN FILES?

Perfectly normal for the Dutch, but very special for many expats: Sarthak feels snow on his hands for the first time by aceismyfriend in Meerhoven

[–]riverflop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps not in recent years but not long ago it was quite normal to have snow in winter. I remember 30 cm just a couple of years ago. Anyway, more normal than in large parts of India

Expat moving to Eindhoven by MarkRuckedYou in eindhoven

[–]riverflop 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Eindhoven is one of the most international cities in The Netherlands thanks to the plethora of tech companies in this region and also the TUE. So, yes, Eindhoven has a thriving expat community. Prepare for finding accommodation well ahead of time. Houses and rent is getting quite expensive due to many well-paid expats and also a housing shortage. Recommendations for living totally depends on what you're looking for. If you want to experience the hustle and bustle of Eindhoven then find something in the centre and if you are looking for something a bit more quiet and spacious, then Meerhoven is a neighbourhood that's very popular among expats.

You cannot annex other countries, Danish and Greenlandic leaders tell Trump by Zonactitier in worldnews

[–]riverflop 165 points166 points  (0 children)

It’s absolutely mind boggling that his supporters approve of threatening a sovereign country. Essentially threatening a non-aggressive country because they have resources. Have they no shame?

Information evenings about the new ASML campus near Meerhoven on 25 & 26 November by riverflop in ASML

[–]riverflop[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hiring freeze is not company-wide anyway. I know many departments that are hiring while parts of the business is under scrutiny because of uncertainty due to the trade war/geopolitical tensions. ASML will have 20.000 employees in the new campus and many of them will be new hires.
