ELT in BS era has about 24 VPs. Will Pat have a smaller compact leadership team? Will Pat reduce the VP overhead?

Let’s use this thread to name all the managers who have been pulling Intel down. Who were managers but not leaders. Managers who did more politics than useful work. Managers who did nepotism.

Damn. This guy has been a big failure. Intel will be in no better shape. Why the fuhk is he given this position when he couldn’t even succeed at a lower position? Intel is too desperate. And it’s not helping.

Take it from a VMware employee of ten years, Pat is not a solution to your problems. He had plenty of time to fix things here and what happened? Just look at the state of VMware currently and tell me if you think it's a reflection of good leadership... —  read more

Here's a fun fact (and I suspect shows what a loser I am :-)) Pat Gelsinger and I were colleagues at Intel in the early 80's. We both worked in what was called "MIPO" (Microprocessor Operation) but I was in Systems Validation and he was on the... —  read more

Honest question. Arguably, Jim had more technical street cred and gave it straight. Unless Pat targets management, I don't see how anything can turn around within 3-4 years.

worked with Pat back in the golden days... He's a good guy, knows his stuff....lots of cleaning house to do...good luck Pat!

I blame him, and the board. Don't mean to disrespect the dead, but if he didn't set things up for BK then Gelsinger would've been here all along. At the time the talk was about Larrabee's failure but that was set up to fail in the beginning, and... —  read more 

Gelsinger was pushed out as CTO after horribly failing to address AMD's competitive threats. I have no idea how he wormed his way back in, but this does not bode well for Intel's future: Gelsinger is proof of the "Peter Principle", being promoted too... —  read more 

I dont feel that Pat Gelsinger has any hope of saving Intel, they are just f—ed along with the workforce

What can convince a former rock star and heir apparent CEO who left for so long and became a chief to return to his old kingdom? Was it money, sure there is a lot I and sure, look what BS was paid knowing nothing Is it love, he has been gone a... —  read more 

INTC goes up 13% VMware down 5%. It's a good start. But too late for me, leaving Intel soon. Good luck to the rest. Hope Pat rehauls the comp structure.

I have been surprised by a couple of responses from outside companies lately. Their responses are a little strange and confusing. Is having Intel on your resume a liability? Is there any type of deal that other companies have to never hire intel... —  read more 

You want to save some money and make intel more efficient; fire all TAs Every VP and above has a TA. That is ridiculous. Obnoxious Negative value Totally Useless job category

Intel's long history of GOOFBALL decisions didn't begin with the current CEO or the past one who was shamefully discharged after collecting a "golden parachute of a compensation" (which he did not deserve one could argue) or the one prior who led the... —  read more 

It is nothing short of amazing... Intel is completely screwed unless they come up with something better, fast. Somehow Apple has created the best PC in every category at once. It is even the best Windows PC, despite the multiple layers of... —  read more 

Is there such a thing to be too long in one company? I know people with ~20 years at Intel. Of course there are folks much longer than that as well. But does it tell something about Intel? Or is it about those folks? Are they stuck with Intel for... —  read more

Intel will face layoffs and if the legit Intel employees, (i.e. BB employees) want to protect their futures then they should get busy and do the same thing at all Intel locations.

How many think what's happening to Intel is bad karma for how they treated the employees during ACT and SET? BK was fired, BS is about to get the kick and the company is in deep dodo.

Just loaded up big time on INTC as this stock is primed to go shooting through the roof. Get in before it's too late!

Does TSMC pay better than intel ?

Are there any non-toxic business groups worth pursuing? Trying to GTFO of TMG ASAP. Help needed.

The bio of these board members shows they are almost all finance. No engineering. All they do is count beans. https://www.intc.com/board-and-governance/board-of-directors
