People in IBM, HP, Yahoo are doing just fine. Well at least the majority of them who has the talent or luck to survive. Intel is not going to collapse even if AMD sells as many server sockets they can make at TSMC or everyone wants a MacBook. Milk... — read more
What happened when PG was at the Folsom site?
Multiple posts deleted by the moderator of this site. Apparently the video normally available on Intel internal access was removed. Must have been pretty good to see.
IDM 2.0 because we did so well with IDM 1.0?
One of Pat's four points to regain integrated device manufacturer leadership is to expand the use of third-party foundry capacity. A strange way to regain leadership?
Why Intel CEO did not get a steeper pay cut?
He single-handedly running Intel to the ground with his ambitious IDM 2.0 vision which is still questionable if it works. Shouldn't he get more pay cut to save the sinking ship ?

OKRs LOL
Make sure you ‘exceed’ all your OKRs this year to get that “Pat” on the back, and secure the right to be around for pay cuts, round 2. Dude could admit that measuring employee performance, when virtually every single person in the company is about... — read more

Fire marketing and cut middle management.
In my many years at Intel I have noticed one consistent problem. Promising things you can't deliver. You lack realistic estimates, honest review of basic capabilities before creating the roadmaps and schedules that are set in STONE. None of... — read more
Right-Size Your Workload
Less pay, less output. If there are 260 work days in a year, those with a 5% pay cut get an extra 13 work days of vacation; 26 for those who got a 10% cut; and the ones who got 25% cuts get nothing since they’ll just juice the stock to earn back... — read more

The *only* way to cut pay
The only way pay cuts ever had a chance of not completely nuking employee morale is if the guy who got paid $140M last year, and his whole team of decision “makers” (let’s assume they aren’t making wild a-s guesses, as it appears they are) worked for... — read more

Significant paycuts yet high output expectations

Is anybody willing to leave due to pay cuts?
I've talked to quite a few people since we found out about pay cuts and not one told me this is a deal breaker for them. Nobody is happy about it, of course, nobody who is normal would be. But nobody who wasn't already looking to leave is now... — read more

We just need a flashy new management book to fix everything.
We just need a flashy new management book full of catchy ideas made by MIT graduates. Then we can spend millions of dollars to become the "enabler" for this new pipe dream. Sound stupid? It is! (IoT) But that's how Intel's leaders think!

Engineers are always the ones to pay the price

Shareholders Are Expecting Massive Layoff, not a Mere Pay Cut
