Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

all postions at ups require bs degree and all workers are expected to train into management. they wont let you stay as a truck driver for years.

For all the big talk Intel did about market influence and now it is equated with bribes? just shows these people have their heads so far up their assess and no clue what the heck is it they are talking about

Hilarious opinion from the peasant gallery

Wasn’t Intel the one talking about how said leader influenced this market or that market? Did Intel mean bribes?

What fu-k wits it’s really shocking

"some of these jobs actually take real influence"
i am not even sure what that means - bribes

i am a simple person
if i lived on an island what people with what skillsets would i bring with me
the necessary or useful ones
doctor
engineer
farmer
...
bankers and bureaucrats would be close to last

also one has to think how much these bankers and especially bureaucrats would be worth in a more advanced country like japan or china
are their skillsets really that essential especially with respect to their net worth

You may despise bureaucrats and bankers who need less stem credentials but what I found out to stay in their game these people are far from stupid and some of these jobs actually take real influence unlike in Intel where patients took over the asylum for collective delusions of masterful greatness

"Why work in a fab when you can get $170K by being a UPS driver?"
this country is messed up
scientists and engineers are getting ki-led financially while bureaucrats, bankers, and bus drivers seem to have an inordinately high amount of wealth

@1xrp you forgot intel thinks it lives beyond market forces, oh, wait

The whole chips act is a boondoggle.

The global chip industry is subject to large supply / demand forces outside the control of one or two governments.

Any geopolitical imbalance will quickly get rebalanced due to these forces.

@1zad

You know? As much as we do to prevent your country from becoming Yet Another Province of China (you know, where TSMC is parked?), you'd think you'd be a little more polite towards us...

@1zad $170K sounds great until you realize that's not the base pay and UPS trucks aren't air conditioned. So you could be putting your health in jeopardy during the Summer months, and I think the starting wage is much less.

On a positive note, your job can't be outsourced overseas and you don't need a B.S. degree to drive truck.

Go for it dude. Be all you can be as a UPS driver.

Organic growth of the IC industry makes government assistance rather ineffective. Countries have their specializations due to reasons deeper than superficial government assistance. Efforts to change that order would be extremely costly and doomed to failure.
