Been in this industry in the very center of Intel's compute engineering for ages and rarely see >50% that are highly competent from there (usually more like only 10% are actually good), both fulltime hires and contractors. Indisputable facts.

I don't care about AI Artificial Indians. Nothing can replace my intelligent. That is what my mom said.

Manufacturing Technician's will soon be non-existent at Intel when Intel is forced to divest and break up into pieces. The Fabs will NOT be Intel anymore and then Intel MTEs will be Global Foundries or some other company.

In 20 years at Intel (US), I've never seen an H1B in an MTE role. At least one job role that is still sacred...

Jeez. You know you can hire in the Philippines out of university and they are 7 usd per hour.

In addition they speak better English than the RCGs from Rutgers and Michigan State.

The people in India that work at Intel are smart and that can and will simply outsource a lot of their work locally (developers, coding, python, etc...) and then get a second or third job and different companies. It is really easy to do.

The people in India often work for 2 or 3 companies at the same time. Maybe 2 remote tier 1 or tier 2 companies, or 1 local and 1 Intel etc... Why not? If they can get the different jobs simply by bending the truth a bit when they apply, and if they can do the work then they can achieve what they want.

Sure, for grunt and back office work. There is no way a country whose education system is based on rote learning (even the IIT's) can achieve anything higher end. There is a reason why even after all the noise and posturing, there is not a major Indian brand known globally - like a BYD or Huawei. The biggest Indian names are copying western service models - food delivery, online drop shipping and other low value/ high margin work. But nothing that requires actual hard & grinding innovation (AI, autonomous driving, semiconductors etc)

Being inside a cubicle doesn't make you smarter.

And if your job requires you to be on-site, you can be replaced by an H1B immigrant.

Yes, You can be replaced by a cheap worker(or two) from india or somewhere else.
i think this is one of the downfalls of intel.
cheap contract employees are not invested in Intel's success.

A LOT of these people are just job hoppers looking for opportunity for them to get their
HIB status and then find jobs for their friends and family back home.

Not sure intel should be sacrificed for their goals of immigration.

Fact. Saw it first hand during last CPM. US coworker was told they were laid off. Twenty minutes later boss told them to train their replacement in India.

I totally agree. An electrician, plumber or nurse cannot be offshored but any WFH job can.

Boeing did that. Look where they are now. Like it or not, but Americans have better work culture and education.
