Intels problem

It is having too many employees doing a little work and everyone’s pay is not competitive. It’s better to have much less headcount and everyone is motivated to work really hard.

Its not that bad…

intel spends 16 bilion a year in r&d nvidia spends little over 8 bilion a year in r&d amd spends a little over 1 bilion a year in r&d… yep… https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/INTC/intel/research-development-expenses# intel also spends capx... — read more 

Circling The Drain

Was so proud for so many years to work at INTC. When margins were 60%+, we felt untouchable. We used to laugh about AMD clinging to a meager existence… how the times have changed… So many still think we are that 60%+ margin company that will simply... — read more 

Intel cannot figure out their own problems

What are useless PE and managers doing for unstable defective CPUs after 6 months without an answer or a recall ? How long are they going to hide their stupid problems?

Plural sight and Udemy license cancelled

If you need online resources to learn something, your manager need to approve and they will charge your cost center. All the companies expanding learning tools for employees and we are going backwards

I only work 8-4 (without lunch break)

Yesterday we had design meeting and 18 people were present to discuss how to do it. If they give me a competitive pay, I’ll do it in 10 days alone. But don’t do it since no work after hours is allowed with our poor pay.

Role model companies for Intel to follow

Here some examples of companies that will grow and thrive by removing the discriminatory practices and policies that were implemented when earlier leadership caved to the demands of a minority of the population. Intel needs to make the changes to get... — read more 

Internal job posting is all about match fixing

I have seen many matching job profiles and in many cases hiring manager dies not even respond to your teams message query. Why do we even have these job postings? And if employees give worst ever ratings to leadership team what is wrong in it?

survey results

Employees loudly and clearly said our poor base pay and compensation is the primary issue. i dont know ELT are doing and say we are addressing lol. its plain and simple pay everyone what they deserve

due to cost reduction

they cancelled by work phone. It means no more on call or after hours or weekends support. yayyyyy celebrating lol I am not gonna answer non family related calls to my personal cell. simple :)

Do we have a clue as to target head reduction?

Do we know how many people volunteered this round? Which numbers beyond that would meet their target? Not that I would be particularly happy or unhappy about losing a job here, I just want to know what’s the wiggle room in which I can continue... — read more 

When the ISP comes

And it will come, if history is any judge. Will Intel need to give any of that sweet, sweet CHIPS Act money back?

NVIDIA is a big problem for Intel...

Two NVIDIA HGX computers with Hopper GPUs that together cost $500K can replace 1,000 nodes of CPU Servers that cost $10 million for AI, scientific computing or data processing workloads. I do not see this getting any better for Intel is the... — read more 

Voluntary layoffs… now what?

So, the voluntary period is now over. Those who applied and were accepted should have been notified… now what? It is unlikely that enough people signed up to satiate the needed cost savings, right?

Internal transfer process?

Applied to a job internally, someone reached out to me for more background info. Sent it, and later saw in Workday that I went from under review to not selected. Am I supposed to receive a rejection email in this case? Should I follow-up with the... — read more 

I literally have to drag myself to work

When you are attached to a company which is disheveled and not even fully aware of it, and when you’ve observed over time all the mistakes made gradually leading to this point today, you can barely muster any energy or motivation to work. Given the... — read more 

SR fires COO

Wow SR fired the person that had the most OPs knowledge by saying a COO role is not needed. How does that even make any sense?!

CPU heat problems

You don't have to look far to notice some big time content creators, who have been Intel/Windows fanboys for decades, jumping ship for stable systems like Apple Studio. Is it time to fix what is broken before everyone is laid off?

High focus on reducing costs

As long as the main focus is reducing costs instead of innovation or finding other sustainable ways to increase profit, Intel will continue to lag behind its competitors. Layoffs hurt institutional knowledge which is desperately needed if we want to... — read more 

Things have changed for good

Seeing so many unhappy people makes me sad. Intel used to be a place where people liked their jobs and enjoyed coming to work. That has now changed for good. It's not just about the layoffs, either. I think it's about the work environment overall and... — read more 

Attitude of employees causing Intel to sink

Not blaming all but people are too lazy or too comfortable with the Intel business process and jargon. Nobody is eager to make decisions, people logging off at 3 PM, logging in back at 10 AM, too many working meetings, taking breaks for dropping off... — read more 

What do you think ?

I am hearing from different managers that we have about 35k employees too many and something bigger than what they call ACT and SET is in motion.i heard these were names for big layoffs. I would be bummed to leave Intel just when I think we will be... — read more
