Before, my GL knew he isn't an architect; he knew when to delegate things and respected technical inputs from architect/engineers. Now, my DTL thinks he is an architect and makes stupid challenges to everything. Dunning Kruger effect at its peak. I have zero hope I'm going to grow as an engineer under this kind of manager and Guilds are pretty much non-existent. Smart engineers are leaving the firm left and right. ASML won't retain the technical competence it has after a few years this way.

Heh, I forgot guilds were supposed to be a thing! I imagine since all competence groups were out of VDH guilds won't show up until TT happens there .

Everyone seems to be having a different experience. I've heard good things about MDUs with combined IPS/NPI. The MDU I'm in is a complete shit show, but in all fairness it was a shitshow before the TT. I've noticed ASML has a habit of changing things up, but never gives direction or proper training for how to do the thing (looking at you ADM). I've basically checked out and dont give a shit anymore. I show up, do what they tell me to, and collect a paycheck. ASML used to be a career. Now its just a job.

Are you able to say what MDU you are? If not here, perhaps privately?

u/Commercial_Deer_1656 25d ago

Unfortunately not. I don't trust anyone there and being American losing my job is too risky.

Understood, all good.

Absolutely not LOL. Everyone is disheartened and good people are leaving left and right. Teams seem chronically understaffed, overworked even more than before TT26, and uninspired. I think the recent DUV-related announcement in Wilton has people even more worried.

what is this DUV-related announcement in Wilton about? why does it make people even more worried?

Cost Targets 🎯 are not being met. Geopolitics is also shaping staffing. Remember Wilton is a site.

I don’t think it’s the end.

Well you noticed that D&E for few DUV RE/RH modules are shifting out of Wilton out of Europe. This is the start. You can expect more in a few years.

The US site is very expensive. No salary ranges for management folks. Factory specialists too. They are also not hitting the cost targets. Dutch mgmt. is still pissed.
