Who can even replace LBT?
Let's say he does quit (he won't, but let's say he does). Who can replace him? Who would even want to take this mess on?
I’ve been with Intel for over 30 years and I've never felt like this
We’ve been dealing with layoffs, fab delays, and endless pivots, and now Trump calls for LBT to resign. Are you kidding me? Political noise is tanking the stock while we keep doing the work. Nobody here was warned, nobody knows what the fallout will... — read more
Why Work
Performatively acting like we can make and sell competitive products and make a competitive margin isn’t enough. Put your head in the sand and ignore the layoffs, the spinoffs, the je-koffs new and old, and as a cherry on top, the “leader” of your... — read more
😫😫😫😫😫😫 Me

18A yield at 10%
Last year 18A yield was 5% now it's 10% with the critical production, intel is not profitable for the foreseeable. LBT brought in to dismantle intel piece by piece and into design like everyone else..TSMC N2 node is yielding at 90% intel has no... — read more

Job Roles
Why does Intel still have these job roles? What a waste Release Train Engineers Scrum Masters Communicators Reporters Administrative Assistants What else is missing?
90K Employees Currently - 15K more to get to 75K
