Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

Stop the corporate jargon. (We see you)

Corporate shills always give themselves away on this layoff boards and it is just as annoying as teen slang. Do you really want to be part of this broken culture? I have Zero respect for people who can’t explain an idea without using the following:

Can’t stand “lean in”
And endless sentences, full of words…and zero meaning.

Corporate strategy’s useless SOAP - strategy on a paper. What the he-l? If you play their recordings (yes they have recorded videos with guests for each SOAP) Content is as bad as the name. I know I know why would you listen to something called SOAP. My fault. By the way they pay millions to McKinsey to come up with the SOAPs. Laughable. Hire McKinsey people so that they hire McKinsey. What a life!

Do y’all remember the one who used to use “Panacea” in every statement he made over his short but very expensive time at Intel?

At the end of the day, to add value and align upon our core competency, we need a high-level, 30,000-feet view, leveraging best practices and critical path analysis, while ensuring everyone is on the same page and has the bandwidth to tackle actionable items ASAP, without dropping the ball on any AR or AP.
