Our reputation is gone
Long gone are the days when people dreamed of working at Intel. Now we can’t even attract mediocre employees, and the top talent is avoiding us in wide berths. I fear this kind of loss of reputation is irreparable and we’ll be feeling it for a long... — read more
We are in week 3 and RTO is already losing steam
The building was empty today and parking lot was less than half full.
Today is last day for those impacted in Aug
Happy that you get the big lump sum of money and given the opportunity to look for better pastures? Or you prefer to continue stay with the company and hope for the best?
Why are you still here?
Knowing what's coming, seeing the state of Intel, why are you still here? Do you think you're safe? Personally, I'm here because I haven't been able to land anything good so far, but I've been trying to leave for nearly a year. As soon as I do, I'll... — read more

Next layoff in Q4
Especially those who returned from remote will be targeted as a punishment for being remote all these years.
First level M converted to ICs
Did your org protect managers by turning them ICs, and their RnRs remain almost (or) the same? While good engineers doing the job are seeing the exit doors, there's still room to protect the friends
There’s nothing worse than constantly expecting layoffs
People start turning on each other, and work becomes a battlefield overnight. The saying “dog eat dog” has never fit Intel better than it does now.
