Why are standards for professional conduct so low at Intel?

Diversity hires, “inclusion” shoved down our throats, virtual signaling rather than engineering. The good old days are gone.
What is known as race to the bottom. If you had something better or more meaningful to do or marketable skills apart from su-king hotdogs and numbing yourself for a second mortage to keep us with the joneses, would you play along to sleazy political pretenders. thought so.
Good employees are leaving so this is what you have left. Intel can't attract any new top talent. If you had a choice between working for NVIDIA or AMD would you choose Intel?
Watch Pat’s conduct first! Pat is visiting China again this week and just met with CCP leaders yesterday in Chengdu. He wants more subsidies from CCP government. Shame on you, Pat.
When you have fat sweaty underpaid employees what more can you expect
Can a manager promote his best work friends without interviewing others?
Everyone thinks they’re the exception to a rule, protocol or social etiquette. See meetings starting late and ending later, questioning (reasonable) protocols at the last minute, etc.

Cuz that's what happens when your company goes 'whoke'. It was worse before PG took over. Maybe he can right the ship, but it may be too late.

HR Dept. at Intel is pathetic. They don't oversee any policy. They will just back up whatever a manager wants to do without question. I found the Ethics portal quite a valuable resource. I used it on more than one occasion. If you have a genuine complaint it will be thoroughly investigated outside of local management / local HR. Senior managers who normally would not have been privy to the complaint get visibility to it. Ethics submissions are a benchmark to org health and culture. Senior managers will keep a close eye on trends. Local managers despise it as it straight-away puts them in the spotlight and they have no control. I don't have many complaints but when I do and it meets the criteria, the Ethics portal is my first port of call. The first time I used it, I had previously spoken to my manager about a concern. He was dismissive and couldn't have cared less. The smirk was quickly removed from his face and there were org changes implemented very soon after based on my submission. I was pleased with the results and it seems to be somewhere that concerns are taken seriously and investigated.
Intel is a third world company.
Outside the U.S. there are no education requirements for engineering jobs. If you want to be a software engineer at the India sites you don't need a degree. With jobs that do need a degree they start with B.tech engineering technology degrees. The sludge starts outside the U.S..
