Intel goes up by $1 (2%)? Since Monday INTC is up $3. Nothing fundamentally has changed from the current state of Intel FUBAR. Did Bob just drop more money from a helicopter to buyback more INTC from the Intel Treasury?

With the ways things currently are? Or you want a change? Assume you have the required knowledge. Would you change anything or let it happen? Seriously.

I've been hearing because of the crazy attrition that some of my former colleagues are getting out-of-cycle raises and RSU grants. It does not mean you are safe from layoff. I was in the same position and still got laid off earlier in 2020... — read more 

Was told by my manager that a current peer (same grade, roughly same time in grade) will soon be my new boss. How unambiguous a message is this of “we don’t give a flying f*k about your future here”?

It would be really interesting to make some retrospective of successful and unsuccessful mergers and acquisitions in the last decade and to comment on each. I feel horrible when I think of some of them, such as Wind River Systems. There were a lot... — read more 

Finally. For the good logic designers and validators jumping ship, congrats. More options in the area.

In today's email to employees BS said Intel will continue to sell more business. I think he is buying time for himself. Wonder which businesses will be on the chopping block? This is a clear sign of Intel in trouble and trying to save the ship from... — read more

Intel is considered to be behind compared to other chipmakers right now (they are still world class). That doesn’t mean that they can’t change the outlook of the company for the better. This should be a wake-up call to improve automation, and adapt... — read more

I read somebody mention that Intel will no longer be giving out packages to those laid off and I'm not sure if that's even legal? I thought they were obligated by law to provide severance, am I wrong? I mean, if the company is not obligated to it why... — read more 

Well f* them I'll talk all the s* I want

Those who were smart enough to leave Intel, Where do you work now? I hear lots of engineers are going to Apple and QCM.

Manager just informed me no raise this year.

A company makes 10~20B in net income in each of the past 4 years and yet manufactures the same 14nm technology with no advancement. A CEO should answer where those money goes before asking for more money from the government (US people). Such a... — read more 

Which orgs will get hit first? Q1, Q2? When will the hammer fall?

Is this going to be an interesting year as it relates to Intel Layoffs 2021? Any news or rumors?

I had my insight conversation and high impact but was told by my manger that I had no scope here and look for other opportunities. No moving up for me as there are no opportunities. Why would an organization not want to retain good talent and leave... — read more 

Not an expert but it seems that bad decisions in cutting people and capital spending caused Intel to miss 10nm promises. So instead of making sure the same doesn't happen to 7nm Intel doubles down and cuts even more. Now 7nm missed commitments. And... — read more

Cuts in response to hard times Hard times result from cuts Go to step one

How long before Intel ends up being a washed up has been like VIA? Look at what VIA does now. The possible future of Intel right there.

Why did they create an intel optane group and make Alper The general manager of the group? Strange. The success of optane is questionable but mostly the opportunity is in the data center. Alper has already been running that, with no or little success... — read more
