Maybe we should all apply at AMD
I haven't heard of any layoffs there in a while. Since Lisa Su took over, that place has been kicking Intel's a-s consistently, so I see no reason why we shouldn't switch teams. It's not as if Intel has deserved any kind of loyalty from us... — read more
Black Friday
Intel’s fall from leadership is so easy to see upon reflection and also with a little common sense obvious to see recover isn’t going to happen with government money or not. Singular focus on x86, every attempt to diversify or acquire any... — read more
Intel is run by non Engineers
Yes Pat is an engineer, but who is feeding him his information? Case in point, he told Wall Street that SPR was on track for early this year. Clearly someone in engineering had to know that was not realistic. Until the BS slinging clowns in upper... — read more

Leaving Intel in any case
Intel is down its own spiral. Even if I survive these cuts, I intend to leave very soon. I don't think anyone has the desire to stay here for a long time and try to build a career (which is almost impossible)?

Discouraging news about a bad job market is so annoying

Intel grown up to be a Banana Republic
The psyche at the company is more like, all the time yes boss to commanders by the trusted lietanants who are in charge of execution. They go on putting a rosy picture on Circuit every day. At the ground level, everyone is suspicioius of the other... — read more
I can't wait for this agony to end.
The longer the uncertainty lasts, the greater the chaos here. Employees try to predict who will be cut and which positions are perhaps a little safer, even though everyone knows that no one's job is guaranteed. Meanwhile, morale is terribly low.
How can forecasts be so far off? Who is held accountable?
In Jan, Mr. Gelsinger said that he expected PC demand to remain strong. He dismissed the quarter over quarter declines as being partially related to supply chain and didn't even mention the possibility demand would weaken. He also said Sapphire... — read more
Perception of the company in the industry
It is quite logical that respected companies tend to hold their value longer. But is Intel as respected by the industry as it used to be? There are more and more people who say that it is not and that the experience at Intel on their resume did not... — read more
How many are still left to cut?
Any ideas? Over 1.5K have already been affected so far, and I'm hearing anywhere between 2.5k and 5k still to go. Which of these numbers is closer to the truth?
At least we know we're safe this week

TD is spared from layoffs. Good for me or else I will not get a job anywhere else
I am happy that TD ones will not be laid off. I am from TD. And no, I am not sarcastic. I know, if I am laid off, I will not only get no job, but actually I am unemployable. Being a PhD in Physics for last many years at Intel, what I know the best... — read more

Peanut butter cuts of 10% across all organization won't fix the problem.
If you were able to get a 1-1 with Pat, what would propose? 1/ Cut discrete graphics. Over 12 years trying and $1.5 Billion wasted. 2/ Spin off networking business. It is worth more to Broadcom or Marvell then Intel. 3/ Sell programmable logic... — read more
