In my case, I'm still not on the verge of burnout but I have more to do than ever before.
Is there anyone here who can say that working harder paid off, that is, that you were accordingly rewarded for it or more valued?

Like any other modern company, they tout and expect hard work and sacrifice but give you no raises to keep up with inflation, managers get bonuses and take credit for your work. Intel exploits their workers just like any other company but just had a nice veneer to convince you otherwise
@1wcj can't You think grass is greener outside but it ain't. Capitalism works on politics not meritocracy. tell me how many non MBA employees are earning more than the one with MBA
If you work hard and actually get promoted, you'll become too expensive, get a layoff target on your back and your job will be outsourced to a cheaper geo. So yeah, no point in working hard even if there were "rewards".
Work hard because that is what you do but intel only rewards politicians. Move to a real company that is a meritocracy and you’ll shine. Stay at intel if you want to play politics.

It doesnt matter what happened in past. Tell me where is the reason now to work hard ?

Cut the business and people who needed to be cut and give money to the people who are now working harder.
Employees can sustain for a quarter, but not like this. Where is the reward for working so hard in last 18 months ?
Having a job is not a reward.
It was awful to see grown men suck it up maybe they were born id--ts
@pes+1neepqJW might as well go into politics where there are rewards for playing political
Working harder at flattering the bosses and playing the political game, yes that pays off.
Working harder at engineering, nah.
Turns out having evangelicals at the helm is a bad idea.
Yes, it has paid off when I was in a stable organization. The problem is you can't work hard and get anywhere when the org is constantly changing around you unless you're just all talk and no action to begin with.
Good luck finding a stable organization with jobs you actually want at Intel.
No so I worked somewhere else.
10+ yes ago. Yes. Not any more. Intel lost the founding culture that made it's great thanks to corrupt leaders and wookesters..
