Pat Update
Pat just updated us saying Intel is Hiring 1000/week. Wonder how long more before he is removed. He absolutely couldn't do worse. Bob Swan was on a better track. This guy is so out of touch with reality. Down another 2% today.
Lam Research
How is Lam Research compared to Intel in terms career growth and compensation? Is it worth the jump?
What is the craziest thing you’ve seen Intel come up with an acronym for?
A light hearted question that reveals inefficiencies at Intel caused by unnecessarily complicating things.
Denial phase
Intel right now is at initial Blackberry denial phase where executives were laughing at 1st version of iPhone and saying people want real keyboard. I like this comparison, whoever wrote this. I absolutely agree, leadership doesn't seem to have a... — read more
Sandra Lopez left intel

INTC SP/market cap in free fall
Just wait until tomorrow's AMD report. Another $4-$5 fall for INTC. AMD closing in on Intel's market value. NVDA/TSM now worth 3x INTC each. Layoffs are sure to follow!
Where is the disconnect coming from?

Poll: are you seeing key people leaving your team?
If not, why not? The stock is down for the next several years as Intel makes large bets on fabs, so comp is not competitive. Intel has a terrible culture relative to lots of competitors. Management’s strategy with IDM 2.0 has an extremely low... — read more

Cuts next week
There've been rumors about cuts before the end of October, is there any truth to them?
Fools are running the show
All the smart people were laid off just because they were happy doing their jobs for a pittance! The fools who laid them off were counting pennies. The headcount was cut to 90000. The Fools hired bigger fools and now there is a big cluster F at... — read more
Inclusion is great

Recovery from the last big round of cuts
I personally think Intel has never recovered from the last big round of layoffs. Digging yourself out of that level of mistrust is essential to compete in this environment, but there will never be any trust for anyone working at the company for more... — read more
In the Blue corner we have $0.2 Trillion Intel/Pat

Still too many old-timers here
I have nothing against older folks, but you can't expect to stay at the top of the innovation game with so many people who are still stuck in the old ways. Not to mention, who are scared that anybody who offers a new idea is there to get their job... — read more

Upcoming layoffs
Does anyone have information which orgs will be impacted? Before I hoped to be among those who survive, but this time I hope to be first on the layoff list.
It's hard to accept
that I used to work in a company that was a leader, and that now I work in a company that has no competitive products. I still can’t believe what leadership has done to Intel. What miracle needs to happen for this to become the company it used to be... — read more
