Intel has always been carried by the d-mb luck of X86, handed to it by IBM. In Intel's heyday, the TD head was able to pick the innovations coming from IBM and adapt them to the mass production needs. That piggy-back relationship faded as IBM's chip... — read more

No-growth company in a fast-growing industry
I'm getting a bit tired of all the discussion around vaccination. Everyone is just talking about vaccinations. I'm more interested in why Intel has become a no-growth company? I remember some of the CEOs ambitious plans for this company. They have... — read more
No Jab or No Job!
So, who thinks that Intel will actually enforce this "mandate"? If so, what percentage of ppl do you think will be let go? How will Intel go about letting these ppl go?

When did you realize you needed to get out of here?
The most important thing is to know when to leave! It seems to me that most employees, even those who are very marketable, stay here where their careers stagnate and do not acquire any new skills. In the meantime, they are becoming less and less... — read more

Get rid of the right people
The only problem is that the wrong people will be laid off. Thin out some VPs and directors and you’ll have $$$$$ savings. There are quite a few people in my management chain that add absolutely no value. This is 100% correct. I'm always shocked... — read more

Intel is somewhat willing to work with its employees but should they in all instances?
Intel has the right to fire people at will, but instead, they want to pay people for doing what’s right for the community. Do we really want people who have to be paid to be a good citizen? It is what it is…
