Intel turns people into very unpleasant people (and I am being kind with that)
If the replies here are anything to go by, Intel is full of deeply unhappy, angry employees who take out their frustration by insulting and belittling others for no good reason. I choose to believe people are not like this from the start, and I can... — read more

What is Intel's long term plan?
Foundry? 18a has no external customers and 14a is unlikely to see the light of day at this rate. CPUs? ARM is taking market share from x86 every year. Even if x86 never truly dies, we will be left with shrinking revenue quarter after quarter. GPUs?... — read more

First lets address how ridicules it is for Intel to think its competitors will ever use Intel fab to make their chips while Intel is still in the highly completive product business. Second: Every time we were late to market and/or put out a... — read more
Close it all down
Intel is hopelessly circling the drain, and has been for at least a decade. Close the fabs or sell them, The secondary market could use all the tools.
Union
It is likely too late to have much impact for Intel, but the root of unionization should start now. I never believed in unions and always felt your reward should be based on your impact to the business. I never felt tenure should be part of any job... — read more

If you want to stay at Intel, you have to change your mindset
Stop paying attention to what’s going on with the company. It’s going to be bad. You need to detach yourself from any belief in Intel’s future or in your future with it. Don’t focus on the layoffs. Assume your job could disappear at any moment. The... — read more

Investor here
I work at a decently large hedge fund. We dumped a bunch of INTC today, and are looking to completely divest in the next 8-12 months. The reason? Not the earnings (which aren't great) or the guidance (which ain't too hot either). But because no one... — read more
