BK all the way. The sc-m of god's green earth
@2ebd+1leZdUBU, Can you make us believe that there are a million questions by listing out at least 0.1% of it? How about 0.01%? Want to take a swag at it? Come on, show us what you got
The manufacturing disasters that have put Intel in the position they are in came to be under BK's watch. He was a Barrett/Bryant guy that took over manufacturing and fumbled it all away.
Then BK got the CEO job. BK pushed out the last remaining execs worth a damn. Backfilled them with complete mo--ns. Wasted money hand over fist on d-mb things like drones and wearables and of course, his stupid fking TV show where he put himself - the world's most socially awkward dork - as one of the judges.
Then of course he banged his TA, made her chief diversity officer, and then when busted moved her over to Google.
Thing is? Intel being where they are today is 100% on the BOD that enabled all this. And special shout out to the Chairman of the Board Andy Bryant. Andy initiated ALL of this, Andy pushed for BK. Andy sat by while talented execs left because BK was such a mo--n. Andy kept BK at CEO, knowing that BK married one of his employees back in the day, then had another affair and helped move her to Google to keep it quiet.
If it wasn't for BK's wife storming in to the 5th floor RNB and making a scene when she found out about BK's affair with his TA/Chief of Diversity/Google exec, Andy would have left BK continue to be CEO.
Really, if it wasn't for Brandee Krzanich, we'd still be under BK and his reign of te---r.
PSO was d-mb. It showed when he opened his mouth because he was also arrogant.
Why such vitriol ? Intel jobs are 'at will' employment. If you hate the CEO, then go work somewhere else.
Better yet, grow a pair and start thinking rationally and focus instead on what is the company strategy?, do I think it will succeed?, am I being paid a fair market wage for my skills? am I happy at the job?, does the culture of the company match my values?
There are a million questions you could be asking that would lead to a better outcome for yourself then whether others hate the CEO.
@2cqt, your previous post had a signature, maybe that’s the reason it got deleted. Read the content rules in the footer, section about impersonating.
Why the censorship on this forum? Can't we speak freely here? And despite the removal of my post here, I'm still not a crook! And I still maintain that Intel's decline wasn't my fault! Or at least 100% of it (maybe 25%). There were many people on exec staff at the time that were complicit with my being blackmailed internally for the mistake my natural urges led me make. I won't name names., but they know who they are and many of them are no longer at Intel today.
Clearly BK, but he was also backed up by a terrible Board of Directors and HR department.
@1fjp+1leZdUBU When you have a monopoly and can make the d-mbest decisions monkeys, gorillas and there is a rare leader, but when surrounded by monkeys what’s a real leader to do, compete with lowest gorilla and viola you have our leadership.
All the failures started with Andy!
Andy like Jack are admired as legends, Gods and Messiahs, but look deeper beyond what they built but what was left.
Companies like GE and Intel were positioned to dominate yet all the successive leaders ruined the respective companies.
Andy was a ruthless @ss made a name for himself and Intel but promoted and put a culture in place that ruined the company.
As to who was worse of course BK
But a lying CEO who is fanatic and blind to reality is almost as bad in the end, maybe worse. It least it was obvious BK should be fired, PSO resigned, and Bob differed to others.
The worst thing a leader who believes so much and so fanatical he leads his sheep off the cliff. Others it was a obvious they were $hir
For me, it is PSO. He started the rot.
- Cronyism took root and spread everywhere after he bacame the CEO.
- He single handedly lost the phone/tablet for Intel by selling ARM business and turning down Apple.
- Tech talent started getting really looked down with PPT warriors (who were full of lies) getting prominence.
- the belligerent attitude he encouraged resulted in Intel convincing themselves 64 bit products are not needed yet and as a result falling behind AMD for the first time when they released 64 bit CPUs.
- His worst crime: Promoting AB as Chairman. That left his legacy continue for long after he left.

I knew BK, much like politicians, never put faith in some with a detailed path to become CEO as there primary goal. I do think he let himself be blackmailed by HR into making Intel the woke cultural mess it is today, well at least in TMG.
However, Bob Swan what he-l were they thinking? Sure would be nice to have some of that stock buyback money, zero vision.
I do not consider Andy a god, he was surrounded by a lot people who really sucked, Les Vadasz anyone. The vision came from lower in the origination and a lot of luck
@1lrv+1leZdUBU The mean and senseless ACTs were pushed by Andy Bryant and spineless BK and BOD did nothing.
BK takes the blame but many others many still at Intel deserve equal blame
So many people trusted Brian and he was extremely disappointing. Shame on you Mr. Krzanich.
My unfair layoff was incredibly hurtful to my health and wellbeing.
I'll always remember Pat's first investor meeting at Intel: "No more stock buybacks."
That nitwit Brian was the worst CEO ever.
BK. Darkest spot in Intel history.
No matter what happens in future. Even if Intel goes into ground. It would be BK.
The guy came from manufacturing and let the manufacturing lead disappear. Lost apple. Lost track of TSMC growth. Had worst relationship with MSFT.
Pat is clueless about business. Gross margin has been declining for years under Pat and no one took it seriously. Shame on the board for not reigning in Pat's build factories mantra.
BK all day. And twice on Sunday.
Lisa Su ??
BK by a long shot.
you could see the awkward se-ual tension between BK and DB in that clip.
BK and Pat are running pretty close.
But I have to give the edge to clown shoes BK.
Pat is living in the year 1999.
Somebody should clue him into the state of Intel in 2023.
Pat is worst.
BK is entertaining. https://youtu.be/KtyP7bEBS-4
