From what I've seen and heard it doesn't look like manufacturing techs will be affected. Also looks like the build outs are still going.
The Big Picture
2016 : 2010, Intel gets lazy and doesn't execute. Falls behind competition. Pandemic hits, companies buy as many PCs as they can find, even Intel based machines. Intel gets new CEO and the hiring and arrogant bravado ramp up. Things looked rosy... — read more
Employment options are becoming limited
If you're bad at what you do, no more free ride, no matter who you're friends with. If you're mediocre at your job, you should also start worrying. If you're good, I don't think you should have any issues finding new employment, even with all the... — read more

Combo of non-technical and mediocre management
Every company, big ones in particular have their problems and headaches. But Intel is unique in that sense, the way they operated over the last decade. It is led totally by wholly nontechnical and full mediocre management who call the shots... — read more
Why does Intel pay for these ads?

Non-US Sites getting hit first.

Intel layoff have already happened as per manager
Intel states that all manufacturing jobs are safe. The 20% for sales and marketing are the only layoffs happing.
The real changes that are needed aren't financial
Few other companies have Intel's layoff history. The culture and leadership need to adapt. You lost the chance to lead so follow better....
Intel is it’s own problem
This site is a testimony to what looks like a laundry list of personnel problems resulting in a toxic work environment. A lot of people feel like they don’t get what they deserve, you earn what you get so maybe… People think that their coworkers... — read more
Has to be said!
2 of the ELT are celebrating publicly on social media about how proud they are of their accomplishments. Some kind of mediocre when the person in charge of the hiring spree and firing spree and the person in charge of giving up so much market... — read more
LTD D1D Special Technologies Groups R&D

Uncertainty doesn't have to be so awful
People generally tend not to take control of their careers. Everyone complains about great uncertainty, but there are many who are still not actively looking for new opportunities. Why aren't those who are tormented by this uncertainty already... — read more

New Grads
I know it’s different in different scenarios, but does intel have history of rescinding offers? Or considering I will be joining in May, and layoffs are still going on, they lay me off a couple of months wishing joining? I don’t want to renege after... — read more
Hypothesis on why layoffs are taking longer than expected
Possibly because the target layoff number is in the 15k+ range, and this requires time to identify those who will be affected. It will not be a surprise that it could get into the 20k+ and the biggest layoff ever.
It's just business
Intel prefers to keep us until the last minute. The fact that they will eventually dump us at a moment that is most inconvenient for us is of no interest to this company in the least. It's just business. Those who think that they are something... — read more
Don't quit!
That's what they want you to do. That's what this prolonged waiting period is all about. The goal is to get enough people stressed enough that they decide it's not worth waiting it out. Please don't play into their hand. Don't do them any favors. You... — read more
OLD WINE IN NEW BOTTTLE
The way Pat and his goons are handling the layoffs this time, it seems like they are the good Lords and Samaritans (in comparison to BK's 2016 ACT), who are trying to provide respect, togetherness and empathy. Facts cannot be more venomous. They... — read more
GSEM Layoff : Obvious horrendous planning and execution
GSEM has announced 20% headcount reduction. The best part is that after hiring 400 people in just last quarter, they are planning to layoff 400 people by this year based on critical skill matrix (CSM). Thank God the CSM is not applicable to VP... — read more
Let's start a betting pool
I say the layoffs will start on December 20. It's a Tuesday, the usual "layoffs day" and it's a few days before Christmas to impact maximum pain on those who are affected. Yes, that's how low my opinion is of this leadership that I genuinely believe... — read more
This is turning into a joke
Cisco is having major layoffs. It looks like everybody will have layoffs before us and we were the first ones to find out about a major round coming. While we wait, everybody else will find employment and leave us with nothing. Tell me how is this... — read more

Salvation
Would one be able to survive job cuts if if he or she was able to work 12 to 14 hours on weekdays and perhaps 5 hours on weekends and this miraculously made them a vital member of the team, protecting them from layoffs in the near term? What do you... — read more

Would going AWOL automatically qualify you to get on the CPM list?
Why Intel is failing
I've seen it over and over again: a company starts out as a place where employees feel appreciated, where they can learn new skills, and where there is a sense of unity. Then something happens—it could be an economic downturn or a change in... — read more
