For each BU, if they had laidoff even 3% of Employees, Director level & up, each BU would have got a fresh start, with fresh idea and most importantly saved hundreds 9f jobs down the eco chain who really need it and are more active, do the real work and smart than those directors and above.
So most and yes 99.5% of those incompetent and ignorant ones get to stay or will even get promoted.
The critical skill matrix is an euphesim for getting to know the really best employees who can deliver.
But Intel never did that , neither they will do this time. They never cared to value employees or keep the best ones.
Smart employees will leave, slight less smart but not political will be fired and in high proportions the least of the smart guys who have nowhere to go, but are politically savvy and get to stay.
These cycle continues on , on, and on.
