Someone is missing someone fa-t.
The amount of sn-w--lakes and tree huggers this org has is bewildering. Reminds of a funny line Jesse Ventura would say "bunch of SJF around here"
@4cvy+1r6Kbo5f OR you could be a better CEO and sell those shiny buildings NOBODY wants to use, make some money in the process, and keep your underpaid employees happy... everyone wins?
Intel employees are forced to work on street very soon to save money like many American homeless populution. No need for RTO mandatory. Just give them a laptop and they can work everywhere on the streets.
The offices are built to accommodate employees. Imagine the company losing money on rent big time with no employees in office. If I were the CEO , i would mandate everyone to be in office 5 days a week else there's paycut equivalent percent of the rent. Period
Covid isn't over yet. Nuclear war is coming. Don't believe in Intel chips. HOME is always safe place to work. Let your boss do the work for you.
How many of you feel like Intel is actually winning with the WFH? I have a very hard time disconnecting and almost feel obliged to check email, do work, generally just stay connected to everything going on 7 days a week/early mornings and late evenings. I can't imagine that Intel is on the losing end of WFH with the productivity they are getting from employees.
If you cannot WFH then you are low class workers
@3het+1r6Kbo5f Yo, nobody is preventing YOU from living in the office if you want to… dump your family, sell your house, move into an Intel building, and breathe and drink the corporate koolaid. But be careful, many five year olds will prove you wrong: they are still waaaay smarter and less lazy than you… and they may prefer WFH!
I disagree with y'all entitled p-r-y-k-s. Unlike y'all keyboard board warriors and coasters I do real work at Intel. The only ones asking for WFH are a bunch of no good freeloaders with skills of a 5 year old
@1uls+1r6Kbo5f bruh, ANY job can be made from overseas… unless you are a nurse, a medical doctor, you are REPLACEABLE. The point here though is that since work can be done from ANYWHERE, there is NO strong reason to go back to offices other than to please bosses and prevent the commercial real estate values from plummeting even further, wake up!!
The poster below makes a great point about WFH. If your job can be done from home, it can be done from overseas.
Not forcing RTO may be the only thing has gotten right in the past few years. For a lot of people there is little value in being in the office. Being in the office is counter productive in a lot of ways. We are expected to be in meetings day and night so why not give the employees their commute time back to themselves. Lots of benefits to WFH for Intel and its employees.
OP is a grade A brown n-o-s-e-r walking on god's green earth.
I can understand managers pushing rto with their people especially if they do not want their teams gutted and backfilled with members from lower cost geos. I was fortunate to have cpm offered to me when rto was announced. I really enjoyed my 29 years at Intel... wanted to make 30 but thought I should grab the brass ring while I could.
I gave fond memories of walking through knee high snow to Hawthorn Farms. That day the bus driver dropped me off many blocks away from the normal stop while holding a map in one hand, the steering wheel in the other hand, all while a passenger was giving him directions for the snow route and a homeless guy was yelling in the back.
Give me a pay similar to companies asking RTO I’ll be in office every day
IMHO, the OP is either a B-TTHURT fab worker with little skills (not all fab workers fit this description) or a manager that has realized their job is worthless, because people that have been WFH have been tracked and found to have actually been doing their jobs. (thus their manager's job is unneeded)
@bzr Said by someone who truly has no clue about fabs! Lol!
The day they mandate RTO is the day I hand in my notice
Make the fab WFH so you can work on part of it in your house and bring in your part to assemble the new bigger part of the fab every week.
Technology has changed the work environment, boomer.
OP works for a company that forces RTO. Jealous... So unfair rite?
Yeah, I really miss watching my coworkers rinse out their coffee cup 25,000 times in the break room while others wait to use the sink.
RTO backlash is a great signal for bad employees.
Downvotes incoming from all the mediocre talent at Intel.
You mean you don’t want to smell rancid re----k butthole at work?
Because it would shed light on a group of DEI employees who had been given WFH privileges long before the pandemic.
Yeah, I really miss listening to my co-workers crunching potato chips and slurping soft drinks all day. Not to mention the rancid smell of their microwave-heated lunches. Oh, please, make me come back to the office!!!
Most of us that are forced to go to office, sit in a cube and call into meetings with people from around the planet.
I can do that much more efficiently from my house, without having to drive in congested traffic for an hour each day ki-ling the planet.
A better question is when is intel going to sell off all it's empty buildings?
What, are you that lonely? WFH works just fine.
They should bring back the horse & buggy too
