No. It isn’t true.
It was taught as a general guidance in a class on sexual harassment. It grew out of that like an urban myth.
Stare at something for 3 a full 3 seconds. It’s longer than you think.
That rings a bell alright but 3 seconds is a long time to be gawking at someone. If you are in a conversation with someone that is a different story obviously.
It is a common sense rule that needn't have been written down anywhere. Staring at people who are passing by is not a comfortable thing to do
Is it true there's a three second rule for looking at someone in eyes there?
Obviously if this is true it's to prevent lads starting at women.
Google Maps satellite data was updated recently, Fab 34 looks like a good size alright.
I would have thought Germany was logical too. By TSMC are supposed to be building near Dresden as well, that’s serious competition for talent.
IMEC is in Leuven which is centre of R&D and test bed for most equipment manufacturers. Would make sense to have plant near there.
Germany is most likely IMO due to having automotive FAB plants & Global Foundries in Dresden. All the supply chain and engineering talent needed is close by.
Belgiums a legit possibility too, but there is the long term instability of the country to consider!
But basically - these jobs will not go to cheap economies.
I heard France or Belgium lately.
I suspect it won’t be France. The labour relations there wouldn’t suit them at all. Belgium would be ideal for me, it’s only down the road from Eindhoven where I’m living.
They're currently looking to put a second plant in Europe, most likely not in Ireland but in another high cost country - there's supply chains needed for semiconductor plants that make it cheaper to site yourself near one (as they did themselves here siting near-ish to NEC in Ballivor who have since closed); so they'll probably go to France, Germany or Northern Italy. None cheap
This is of zero threat to the Irish ops either.
I actually hated some of the people more so than the place itself.
I've actually come to love the place, and despise less of the people now that most of the jerks have either left or have been turfed out.
I never grew to hate it. Most of the people I worked with are still there and don’t hate it. I left because I got a better opportunity.
If they came with the right offer I might even go back.
Some parts of it are not for "working". They might be for parking, recreation, eating, etc.
It’s a place to get the head down and make as much as possible before you grow to hate it.
I would expect less than 2 weeks. We made the decisions on the day of the interview and passed them on to recruitment the next day.
What happened then, I don’t know. But it couldn’t take too long. How long have you been waiting? What’s the job?
Any idea how long it takes them to reply to people if their interview was sucessful?
No
Why the incessant negativity if you’ve never worked there? It’s actually a very good place to work. It has its faults, like anywhere, but you’ll be very well treated and very well paid
is it a hole of a place?
I see they are currently recruiting. Someone I know had an interview this week for a technician role. Does anyone know what their response time is? Are they likely to hear back in a week or two? or will it be longer?

Over in the healthcare industry, I'm pretty sure that doctors' training is all paid for on a non-committal basis. This is a lot more commonplace than people might expect. You should absolutely not be giving away your free time to make profits for some MNC

The company were great for clear development and progression plans so if you wanted to be a manager and hit the expectations laid out for you then it would be very unlikely not to end up one.
