Bloat !
This has been a problem at Intel. Too much bloat. Even after these layoffs, I can guarantee that you can point to at-least 2 people who work with you day to day, whom you would not miss. Not because you don't like them or they dont agree with... — read more
Is this a bad sign ?
My manager is not responding to my emails for couple of days now and I had 1:1 yesterday lasted for 15min . It’s a bad sign , right ?!
Economic slow down?
Seems only Intel has a shrinkage issue in 2022. https://focustaiwan.tw/business/202302100023
Intel borrowed 11billion
I guess CHIPS act money is not coming any soon…. Desperation!!
Who Might Buy TMG
Micron? Samsung? CCP?
Bottom of the saddle
Look, we all know Pat stepped into a difficult situation. The state of the company today is much a reflection of things BK did (and didn’t!) do to maintain process and design leadership over TSMC as anything else. Unlike most other sectors... — read more
Does anyone trust Pat anymore?
Anyone? Bueller? A CEO who has lost the trust of his team is just walking the plank. Guy is toast. Stealing from his employees while giving his buddies a little trim off the top seals it. BK’s probably got a nice little hideout to host failed... — read more

Pay cut consent
Are you're going to sign the pay cut consent form in the next days ? (for non US employees)
Hey Intel Execs, Take Some Responsibility!
I've seen multiple execs in other companies take personal responsibility for layoffs. All I've heard from multiple Intel Execs is "Macroeconomic headwinds BS". Admit that you've made some mistakes at least. Noone is expecting you to be perfect, but... — read more
If you walk around a Hillsboro
Folsom, or Chandler neighborhood, you will more than likely to see many people wearing Intel shirts playing tennis, biking, or walking between 9 and 5. Why not enjoy yourself when the sun is shining?
No worries
People in IBM, HP, Yahoo are doing just fine. Well at least the majority of them who has the talent or luck to survive. Intel is not going to collapse even if AMD sells as many server sockets they can make at TSMC or everyone wants a MacBook. Milk... — read more
What happened when PG was at the Folsom site?
Multiple posts deleted by the moderator of this site. Apparently the video normally available on Intel internal access was removed. Must have been pretty good to see.
IDM 2.0 because we did so well with IDM 1.0?
One of Pat's four points to regain integrated device manufacturer leadership is to expand the use of third-party foundry capacity. A strange way to regain leadership?
Why Intel CEO did not get a steeper pay cut?
He single-handedly running Intel to the ground with his ambitious IDM 2.0 vision which is still questionable if it works. Shouldn't he get more pay cut to save the sinking ship ?

Fire marketing and cut middle management.

Right-Size Your Workload
Less pay, less output. If there are 260 work days in a year, those with a 5% pay cut get an extra 13 work days of vacation; 26 for those who got a 10% cut; and the ones who got 25% cuts get nothing since they’ll just juice the stock to earn back... — read more

The *only* way to cut pay
The only way pay cuts ever had a chance of not completely nuking employee morale is if the guy who got paid $140M last year, and his whole team of decision “makers” (let’s assume they aren’t making wild a-s guesses, as it appears they are) worked for... — read more
RIP morale
Team morale was already down due to downsizing & then paycuts hit the last nail in the coffin. Managers and uppity graders sweating bullets rn and yet mgmt says everything will be ok next year. I call it BS
