Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

@jyy

I can imagine a day when BK is fired and a new CEO is brought in to affect real transformation.

As opposed to laying the burden of "improving management" at the feet of FLMs (and allowing senior management to basically go through the motions), a better approach would be just the opposite. Have the new CEO meet personally with groups of top management at each site and lay out expectations and the (cultural) behaviors that will and won't be tolerated. Make public examples of leaders who do and don't demonstrate Intel core values. It's a big ship but Intel won't thrive unless the culture is changed.

I'm just dreaming, I know...

We managers recently had to do LEAD 101/201/301 classes which were quite nice in theory, but they had nothing to do with Intel's real cutthroat meritocracy culture. And of course, as usual, middle and upper management largely got around taking these classes or only had to attend some conference calls for half a day instead of going to the full-week workshops the front line managers had to attend.

And now there is going to be another round of management classes? What's the point? As long as Intel doesn't adjust its company culture towards becoming a modern tech company focussed on motivating the workforce as opposed to being a 90's hire-and-fire sweatshop, no management class will fix anything.

Or is this a bunch of management classes to brainwash managers into finally realizing that no matter how hard they work with their teams, they will always have 10% worthless sh--heads in their teams who need to get IRs and SSL5s and a kick out the door?

Somehow I missed this announcement as well: http://www.oregonlive.com/silicon-forest/index.ssf/2017/01/intel_plans_sharp_focus_to_sol.html#incart_river_index

"On Thursday, Krzanich told employees that the Focal overhaul is off the table - at least for now. Instead, he said, Intel will focus on unspecified management problems first, then reconsider whether to make any changes in Focal.

The chipmaker plans a new "Managing at Intel" program for all 13,000 of the company's managers, according to Krzanich. He didn't say what the program will involve, but said details are coming soon.

Intel is getting a new human resources chief as company vice president Richard Taylor retires. His successor is Leslie Culbertson, a longtime Hillsboro executive who had been Intel's director of finance."

Mandatory "management" classes, finance person taking over HR, BK still at the helm. Inspiring!
