AMD (NYSE:AMD) has done something nice for thousands of laid off workers, they hired a firm to provide them with tips, opportunities, and other things to speed them along to productive employment. The first of the conference calls is scheduled for later today.
At 4PM CST today, with a follow up call next week, ex-AMD Sales and Marketing folk will be presented with job prospects from reputable companies. This is only the first, there are going to be many more soon too. With luck, this will lead them to productive careers in fields related to their current work. If you are a potential candidate for this call, you should have already gotten the email below, the blanked out details will be in there.

We at SemiAccurate would like to thank AMD for such a generous offer. AMD did not have to pay an external firm to do this, nor did the firm have to set up calls with such high profile companies like they did. For the now extremely motivated ex-AMD employees, it is an opportunity to continue work in the semiconductor Sales and Marketing field, likely with many of the same clients and co-workers as before. This is in no uncertain terms a win/win/win.S|A
Editors Note: Charlie is resting well. The doctors say his almost bitten through tongue should heal nicely, but have urged him to refrain from the behavior that led to it. I have never seen someone laughing so hard while bleeding.
so THAT is what AMD meant by “Intel is no longer our opponent” – if they shove off their useless marketing idiots to Intel, the blue team is going down the drain soon as well. Hmm, maybe VIA can gain market share again then…
Whahaha! I actually physically laughed out loud because of your comment. It wasn’t like when you think something is kinda funny and you write LOL. I actually laughed out loud.
Hey Chuck, WTF? You got a woodscrew loose or something? I’m sure NVidia will send someone right over to tighten that up for you.
well you see, Charlie Chuck also work for AMD so he got the email personally, it is not hard to figure out at all if you have analysis skills
Charlie Chuck mole in AMD is Charlie Chuck himself
I guess Chris and girgis must be recent ex-AMDers.
Adam and James, Charlie is being very sarcastic, more so than normal. AMD isn’t doing anything to help those it just terminated. They sure as hell wouldn’t have contacted int-el, fergoodnesssake.
“…likely with many of the same clients and co-workers as before…”
I guess that “clients” the keyword of this sentence and the whole article.
I don’t get it, what does Intel Capital have to do with this?
this is not funny.. very inconsiderate
This article is pointless, and not very funny
Isn’t this kinda standard? Not the first time companies have spent time to find new jobs for their newly-fired-to-save-company-money.
…you either have a very similar kind of humor, or you should take a closer look at the screenshot ^^
Charlie, sometimes your skewed sense of humor amazes even me!
Sales and Marketing? Too bad we don’t need ‘em in Malta. Or maybe it’s just as well.
lol, just lol.
