Why would they rather be in Vietnam than home in CT when they see it pass?

Ughhh time to go play the powerball! Thank you!

I hope for a snow day

Wholly agree. The criminalizing of only certain drugs is intentionally done to feed the prison labor system and withhold care and support from those with mental health disorders. It’s a maddeningly archaic way to run a country, but I suppose as long as it makes the ultra rich even richer it’s unlikely to change.

It sucks that the company’s policy is so ridiculously rigid. Perhaps she can call a taxi/Uber, or coworker to give her a ride to avoid the termination? Short term solution but she should look for work elsewhere when possible.

We can shop for more than one day at a time. You should get more (paid) time off.

Probably new Canaan, Wilton, Ridgefield etc…you will just need some $$$

As a former investor in the company, not to under-sell the importance of ASML: any/all logic and memory chips under 7nm nodes currently require Extreme Ultra Violet lithography machines to be created, which run north of $100M each. ASML is the only company in the world that is able to produce these machines, and any competitors that have tried to emulate have since given up. There have been attempts to steal/copy their trade-secretes (China), but it will likely take 5-10 years before a viable prototype is available, and by then ASML will likely have developed a newer, more advanced model.

There is potential for different chip manufacturing practices (stacking/shaping) to be developed to try to ease reliance on ASML, but adoption of these is likely years out still.

To give an example of the technical complexity of the ASML machines, I recently heard that the mirrors used in them are so smooth, that it is estimated that if you were to stretch one of the mirrors out to cover the entire area of the USA the largest "bump" would be about the height of a human hair.

Defintely a very good thing to have ASML in CT, since they will be an economic contributor for decades to come, and being a physical/manufacturing tech company means that they will continue to have a need for physical, in CT workers (not out-sourced, remote).

This question gets asked a lot here, if I were you I’d look at some past posts to get more information from people as well.

Pratt and Whitney is also hiring like crazy. Have heard it’s better to work for

Honestly, I'd stay in Newport, RI. Check out the mansions, cliff walk, and take a day trip to Block Island out of Point Judith. Then could take an (expensive) Uber to Mystic CT, Stonington CT, the two Casinos in CT ( Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods) or go north to Providence, RI.

We're full

This is all accurate, BUT require a car. OP stated they need Ubers. To do a fraction of what you describe, without a car, requires very specific itinerary planning.

Yeah idk how to say this without sounding like a troll but CT folks love to worry.

Joke's on them. ASML already had a fire in a Berlin (Germany) facility last year that did mess with new machines, but had minimal impact on semi supply chains.

Another article full of likely. But no decision.

That's definitely unreasonable. Has she started looking for another job yet? It sounds like a very unhealthy work environment.

This was the case prior to 3/1. As of 3/1 all children can receive 1 breakfast and lunch for free. THere is no form to fill out.

Like I said, but not ammunition. Sigh.

I worked there as a contractor. It's fucking awful and I wasn't even working for EB directly. Never mind how much I hated feeding the military industrial complex.

Region 15 Middlebury/Southbury

Yes I should have included more info, would like to be close to public transport as I might have to go into the city for work every so often. Also 700k max if that helps cross some towns off the list
