Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

TMG is the laughing stock these days, god help you folks when you have 14, 10nm on your CV.

All the product teams are so proud of your good work on 10nm, we thank you !

Nah, TMG is where it is at - the most interesting work. The heart and soul of Intel.

TD turned into a complete cluster, but FSM keeps executing. At lower levels, a lot of bullsh*t is avoided by data driven decision making.

• Answer to HR post: AS and his goons made a big fuss everytime someone tries to go to a different division. Hence people outside of TMG intentionally do not hire people from TMG. People from easy groups don't hire people from hard groups within TMG. I know highly qualified people who submitted up to 80 (!) applications for jobs they were qualified within intel and did not even get a single interview.

• The reason I had to leave TMG is because we discovered a major design flaw in the process flow that could not be fixed (without someone losing their job). It was in a layer owned by one of A-- henchmen, and that was a career "no-no". So the only way to get rid of the issue, was to get rid of us. I was pulled by the arm by someone I did not know was a friend of mine and told, "They are throwing s**t at you in the meetings, and it's just a matter of time before it starts sticking. Your competence can keep you afloat for only so long. I know a guy looking for engineers, apply there and use my name as reference." With a friend I never knew I had and a lot of luck I managed to transition to another division.

• During TMG work I was aksed to install parts into systems that fell of trucks (that go in line with high power systems), log systems utp with holes in the exhaust lines, was aware of safety procedures based on rigged and faulty data (luckily some of this was averted with some smart tactics), was present during a mental breakdown of a technician due to over exhaustion, saw a guy getting fired because some time in the past he raised a concern on blocking fire exits during maintenance procedures (another manager career "no-no"), got critised by management as to how and where I spend my free time, etc.

• TMG was broken when I left it, and by the looks of how tech is progressing (from the outside, I don't want to have anything to do with intel) it seems not to have gotten any better. Funny enough, noone from upper management wants to go close to the fab in fear of their own career, because failure is a big "no-no". I assume the same goes for HR. TMG is dead becasue of management cowardice, and lack of true leadership...pathetic, that's what it is...pathetic management.

Through multiple reorgs, Intel has commited travesty..a false representation of those who have had better positions and favored by their teams and managers. Engineer veterans who had multiple DRAs, are sidelined in their new departments.. cause no one really knows them. Hence, the 0% raises, where all the benefits go to Grade 10 and above to BK.

This is now a democracy or meritocracy is becoming a plutocracy.

The author of the topic raises an important point. After working in this culture for long you are becoming a part of it and loose an ability to look at it from outside.

You could justify it a bit when you were the best in the world.

These days you slave away for 3% raise, free fruit and drinks and for what? Watch a leadershless organization loose a three year lead with no hope of staunching the slide anytime soon, GPTW

Why do you fools work for such a sad organization?
