Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

No. Blaming the Tool (HR) is barking up the wrong tree.

Since nobody of consequence is going to see this, just treat this as me taking a break and passing some gas.

HR is a tool, and HR people are a bunch of tools. They're supposed to treat everyone at the company as fungible cogs, that's just their modus operandi. Now if it's up to some HR "professional development program" to straighten up some company then that company is bone fukt.

HR is HR. Leadership is leadership. HR doesn't "foment" any culture and allow it to grow or fester, leadership does.

What culture? Well, the culture that presents the wrong risk/reward equations to the employees.

Now, day in and day out there's going to be 1000000 different things to do. Everyone check off these lists and kaCHING you get your coin. Fine, right?

There's just one little thing missing from all these "things" being checked off. You do things but nobody's gonna reward you for DOING THAT THING THE RIGHT WAY. Done? Oh yeah great! Just pass it along to the next poor s---er, until somewhere down the stream Shet hits the fan.

Let's take the old crude example of firefighting. You put out 100 fires a year, you get 100 coins. Does it matter if all those fires are smoldering for the next victims? No. Does it matter if you're using expensive fur coats to smother the fire? Fukt no. Does it matter if YOU STARTED THE FIRE YOURSELF? Oh you take a lucky guess!

KaCHING! You get yours, I get mine, "mission accomplished", everything fukt.

Now back to the regularly scheduled spamfest

@2wss The heck is my manager is supposed to do, just walk out and have a much worse manager replace him. My team can do much, much, worse than our current manager.

Ohhhh yeah, bright bulbs. Ace idea there.

@2csd @1phf I've asked this before and got zero answers from you guys so let's try this again:

Why do people who don't work at Intel care so much and obsess over the company?

Also, learn how to read. Exactly which part of anything I've written so far reads "I've fukt people over at Intel"? Let's see if you two brainless wonders know how to actually communicate.

You have ZERO idea what I did or what I'm currently doing at Intel. Engineers in the trenches following orders also make a lot of sacrifices. Now put up or STFU... You two are the real trolls around here- Nothing informative spilling from either of your keyboards.

Thank you, -txd, for your honest opinion! I agree that Intel managers are mostly cowards. They save themselves while sacrificing employees even though the seeds of the the problems lie with them!

@1hlv I assume you don‘t have children. Because people who have children want to be able to look them in the eyes and say „I didn‘t f--- over another human being today.“

You can try to ridicule people with principles as much as you want, but the fact is that if there weren‘t so many of us, society wouldn‘t work, and nobody, including you would have a paycheck. You are sitting on the shoulders of people who are better than you while laughing about them. Humanity functions because of us and despite of you. Think about that sometime.

Oh, and as you don’t have children yet: Please do not reproduce.

HR is a tool? No. Tools can‘t think. Tools can‘t make decisions. HR can do both.

For every little bit of bullcrap that is happening at Intel, I blame everyone from the CEO down all through HR to upper and middle management to the FLMs.

All the ethics violations that happened during ACT would not have been possible without an HR that turned the CEO‘s wishes into policy and a bunch of managers who executed that policy. Nobody there had the spine to stand up to the inhumane crap that was going on. I think in my whole network at Intel, I know about 100 managers on different management levels. Do you know how many of them quit because of ACT? One. I know only one manager who said after ACT: „Intel is no longer my company“. All the other managers, all the other HR people, they all accepted what went on. So yes, I do blame them! Every manager and every HR employee who stayed on after ACT is a snivelling pig in my eyes who is willing to give up their humanity for a paycheck.

Going by HR is a tool logic, every one including BoD is a tool.

@yif Rly? So how many levels down the "association ladder" is anyone and EVERYONE at the company from the "executive management"? Where's the cutoff so I can be excused from all this? No really I'm the only one with clean hands! I never play along and I never inhale LOL

HR with their dirty tricks are guilty by association to executive management.
