Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

OP, I disagree with most of your premises.

1. I received no severance but I'm still working and making good money.
2. Sure, Intel is a mess but I can deal with with the issues in my sphere.
3. Yes, Intel is toxic but see #2.
4. I wasn't worried about this layoff and I'm not worried about the next. I do believe there will be a next.
5. I'll pick up the slack where I can, but I can only do so much in the day. I'm not going to go to any extremes to meet unrealistic expectations. If I put in an honest day's work and thing don't get done, I can still sleep well at night.
6. I can deal with the toxicity. See #2
7. I can deal with anxiety. See #2

I've been very fortunate to work at Intel and I've made decent money, even as a lowly technician. I'll stay here as long as they let me and if/when (probably when) they let me go, I'll take my skills elsewhere.

Flamingly purple-haired troll post.

If the point is some emotion it's a troll.

100% agree OP. I was "spared" (whole group had 0 layoffs) and I'm currently interviewing, looking to get out ASAP. That severance money would have been nice.

Depends on your finances and family status

a2 is an HR shill. Same person who comes here to post “oh look it’s the xyz troll”.
How low can they go to pay HR to shill this board.

@a9 So anyone who sees things even slightly different than you is a stupid troll. Got it.

Stupid Troll Post

The lucky ones are still working at a job they enjoy.

OP is clearly not one of them, and may have never worked at Intel.

Just another stupid delusional ranter.

@a2 What a remarkably dense response to a reasonable post. Let's look at your comments 1 by 1. First, yes every job has the possibility of ending. That doesn't mean a constant threat of arbitrary layoffs like what's happening at Intel. It doesn't mean the stress of losing your job for no reason other than the poor choices by leadership isn't a thing. The environment isn't toxic? Do they breathe air on your planet? Next: "picking up slack isn't real..." Wow. Just...wow. Picking up slack in ANY job is a real thing. When your team has 10 people and 5 of them get let go, the work they were doing doesn't go with them. It gets redistributed to the ones still left. "If you are someone with not horrible character"? Attacking peoples' character for not wanting to take on the job of 2 or 3 extra workloads shows just how little character you have. And finally, "do you best". How about you "do you best" at learning to speak properly.

@a2

On what planet do you exist?

@a3 people offshore can probably write using coherent sentences.

@a4 OP didn't claim to be

I don't believe OP was a high performer.

I think the lucky one were folks in low cost geo where layoff happen in high cost geo and project move to low cost geo to fill the gap due to layoff. Seen this happening right now in edge. This going be trend moving forward, offshore our work

Every job has the possibility of ending. Thats not a factor. The environment isn’t toxic in the slightest.

Picking up slack isn’t real if you are someone with not horrible character. Do you best, nothing more nothing less. Go home satisfied every day knowing that.

Couldn’t be happier.
