Intel ELT members are perfectly fungible due to common lack of silicon design and manufacturing experience, no?

When you tell a manager they only get a req if they hire a DEI, you have crossed the !ine. The company will now pay the price for such inferior hiring. Look at the executive team page. High marks for DEi but very unimpressive leaders and worse yet no track record in silicon design or manufacturing. Too be clear, I think Intel has many problems starting with strategy, execution and excessive cost... But DEI is a contributor no doubt. IFS is probably the straw that breaks the back... No way Intel takes large share from TSM but even if they get a bit of share the margin will suffer as TSM will bid lower and Intel cost will result in a zero margin business.
DEI (the implementation, not the abstract idea of diversity, equity and inclusion) is pure and blatant racism/genderism. Period.
Yes this would be easy to test. All you have to do is take the DEI population and calculate the average number of months in grade. I guarantee you that you will see that DEI's spend substantially less time in grade then non-DEI.
HR has the data but you won't get access to it. Meritocracy be damned.
There are many causes of course, but DEI certainly is one of them. Look at the ELTs promoted all over Sr management s.o. silicon engineering expertise. Refute that. Everyone already knows it.
Making DEI a scapegoat for the current state of things does not pass muster. It might have chipped in at the margins somewhere, but what has led to the current debacle was set in motion long before DEI came into vogue.
Wow. Andy Grove set the culture based on 'meritocracy' and DEI is diametrically opposed to that idea.
If Pat is such a Grovian, why doesn't he shut done all this DEI nonsense?
It is common knowledge that Intel made a big push for females and URMs in the DEI policy and over a few decades you had many low level DEIs rise up very fast through the ranks. Managers are reporting on this forum that they don't get to fill reqs unless it is a female or URM. Let that sink in.
This is easy to prove by simply looking at the grade promotions for DEIs vs. non-DEIs.
You think you are doing the DEIs a favor... but they get in over their heads and worse yet, you put the company in a very bad position as they just simply are not qualified. In the end, the entire company goes into decline and you haven't really done anyone a favor.
The entire notion of DEI reverse discrimination if fatally flawed. It makes people 'feel good' but they are not fixing a real problem and the outcome creates more damage then good. This is what happens when you let feelings drive your decisions instead of rational logic.
SR has a BS EE and not a lot of technical job experience. She should be franchising an Arby’s, not running one of the most technical businesses on the planet. Genuinely curious what the people defending her do at Intel, can anyone shed some light?
True. Notice Intel decline correlates with Intel broad expansion of DEI policies. This doesn't prove causation, but it sure supports the hypothesis that DEI is a bad idea.
I liked Intel better when the best person available got promoted (meritocracy). DEI has promoted many people who are not qualified. It hurts the company, the DEI and creates tribalism. Worse yet, using some single variable like skin color or biology marker is an affront to anyone with intelligence.
For example, the US graduates 25% females from engineering schools. As it turns out, science shows females gravitate to jobs with empathy like teacher or nursing. And yet Intel says females are under represented and you have to get to 50% females in engineering.
Now how d-mb is this? And so you get people on ELT that otherwise are not qualified but get the job due to distorted policies. Two wrongs don't make a right.
Intel should use SN to run TMG and TD instead of AK... AK only has the experience running HVM business unit.
DEI EE but no engineering job ,just marketing and HR ...
SR actually has a EE degree. What was weird was she was placed in HR where she got her EVP stripes, before going to run DCAI.
SR has a network of VP/GMs she has put in place across DCAI and NEX.
Most of them are as bad as she is.. there's no hope, folks.
I for one admire the can-do attitude that SR’s story brings to the table. If she can go from running HR to DCAI, then why not me? Why not a poodle? Or a moist towelette? Onward and upward!
If my ELT can't explain our strategy should I keep quiet or carry on? I feel like job market is going sour and don't want to make any waves, but our strategy doesn't make any sense. asking for a friend.
long $TSM short $INTC
neutral $NVDA (great company but PE 150 (trailing) and 50 (fwd) is too expensive.
Telephony add in cards at Dialogic, acquired by Intel and forum into the dirt. She is was some kind of marketing person.
Can someone say anything SR did good for the data center?
@lrv - Yes, and because she's Latinx DEI. Remember performance doesn't really matter at Intel. In fact, good performance without politics is a liability.
Because she has done so well running HR and the unprofitable DC and AI efforts?
NVIDIA has opened up a huge lead and a big can of whoop A-s on DCAI...
SR will be the next CEO
