Forgot to add globalist fascism with corporate short term mentality
INCOMPETENCE rules :-( and it started a ~decade ago
It is all mixed H1B, URMS, gangs and nepotism, deteriorated or ignored code of conduct and on and on
Maybe it is related to world wide entitlement disease as well (rights versus responsibilities and accountability)
The outsourcing and moving jons oversees to countries like India plus influx of H1B is the best explanation of why Intel is going down the drain.
A flawed business model
At LEAST they have DIVERSITY!! More Women and Under represented Minorities!! Equal PAY and Equal rights for all s-x orientations and Genders! Thats all that matters to Intel and they are winning that struggle-- designing the best tech- Meh..
The fall guys have been tagged for the FUBAR
@1ids: Well, output from exec suites in Santa Clara certainly isn't impressive either. Just for curiosity, which sites would you deem productive?
I think you are conflating toxic and competitive. Stacked ranking and forced compensation distribution all the way to ICs, combined with random and varying success criteria is what's makes Intel toxic. There's no room for things like team effort and true collaboration, despite claims to the contrary from midlevel management and introduction of tools that should bring that around.
Competition is everywhere, and is OK as when the rules are fair and known. It is not so bad now, with current low unemployment rates anyone worth their salt at Intel can find jobs outside at similar compenation rates (without the endless stream of pointless meetings to spoil your focus and drain your energy).
I expect a house cleaning.
@1ids-on other words, Intel needs to change GPTW to TPTW, right?
Billions were spent and nothing came from the campuses from Arizona or Oregon. You can say that intel is a toxic environment but it's a toxic environment everywhere over there from college to other companies to the neighborhood association.
we need more H1Bs.
@lbe. You're correct. The toxic environment and focal system only promote brown-nosing and office politics.
@fbi: Nokia wasn't killed by lack of innovation, it was due to the worst CEO ever (on behalf of M$). If by RIM you mean Rambus, then their downfall was greed and fraud on JEDEC. The high stock price is based more on belief in a continued de facto monopoly rather than faith in the stupid fads that BK pulls out ot thin air. AMD might be able to disturb this monopoly that and if that happens Intel stock will tumble. None of self-driving cars, drones and whatever toys has been hailed as the next big thing will change that one bit. Your post looks like a transcript of circuit propaganda.
@zyx: Right, good engineering is hard, and is seems to me that the problem is that very few good engineers are left in the company. That is in line with recent hiring policies based on everything else than engineering skills, the toxic environment for good engineers who wants to focus on engineering instead of brown-nosing and office politics, and the creeping ageism. It's less about the site locations imho.
Engineering is hard and everyone is struggling. Big problem is the engineers from Oregon and Arizona aren't any good.
@fbi- oh please! It's what Intel use to do real well and margins are still mid to upper 50's. It will shrink even more when AMD comes out with 10nm
Intel s---s at everything else so they better wake up.
@ofd Who said it‘s not profitable? Do you have some problem with reading comprehension?
Of course it‘s still profitable now. But it‘s not going to be profitable much longer. That‘s why it would be stupid to push money into that business. Instead, we‘re milking that cash cow now while moving the profits into other areas that might actually have a future. Holy sh--, I can‘t believe people still need to have this spelled out.
What do you think why the stock price is going up even while Intel is giving up market share in the CPU business? Because investors have understood that Intel is doig the right thing, because „Intel the CPU company“ is not a sustainable vision anymore. If you don‘t believe that or are too dumb to understand that, then you had better move to AMD quickly.
I wonder how retarded people like that would act if they were investors. „Hey, that business is shrinking, so I will shove a few billion dollars into that business, because it‘s what we have always done.“ Does that ACTUALLY sound smart to anyone? „Let‘s keep doing what we‘re good at and let‘s ignore the world around us“ was the philosophy of companies like Kodak, RIM, Nokia and many other companies that were once market leaders. And even though it killed those companies, there are still doofuses who think that would be a proper strategy for Intel.
@may- Nice try! Its the only thing that Intel use to be good at prior to BK. If it wasn't profitable they would have closed shop by now.
Because it‘s a shrinking business that Intel is not interested in anymore. Is that so freakishly difficult to understand?
Struggling because all the talent is leaving the company, a CEO who couldn't run a lemonade stand, and token social justice employees who know that they are untouchable. Sooner or later the chickens will come home to roost.
