Anyone else fired from Microchip for no reason?

Posting from an alt

I was let go last week. Great performance, my last review was great, then booted just a couple of months later. Boss couldn't even give me a real reason, just vague performance issues.

Talking with some friends still working there, they're firing a few people a day now, all for a bunch of bullshit. I heard they walked five today. Looks like they're trying to do a layoff without the bad press. Microchip made employees give up part of their pay or take unpaid time off and promised it'd be paid back in two years. I was told I lost that money, so I think that was the point.

Anyone else get the same? Maybe the press might be interested if there's enough of us.
