We have more people managing projects than doing actual work
If that's where they decide to cut, I'm all for it. We don't need this many layers of managers, realistically. And we certainly don't need people who'll show up once in a while in a supposed problem-solving mode just to tell us to "communicate... — read more
Intel Song
What song describes Intel ?
What will happen to most of us?
I’m like the vast majority of us - an average coder with average skills, just trying to get through the day. I want to come in, do my part, and go home. But I can’t take the tension anymore. It’s been dragging on for so long, and I still don’t know... — read more

What's the latest on protests and RTO?
This is what happens when you work for an Asian... they don't put up with employee whining and cr-p. They'll outsource the work, and fire your a-s. If it magically doesn't work out in six months, they'll re-hire new people that won't complain... — read more
Outsourcing means lower quality of work
This has always been true. Does nobody care anymore about things like that? Is it really just about lower costs, sc--w the quality of output?
Don't think performance will save you
Performance isn’t the deciding factor here, visibility is. This is true for both layoffs and promotions. The folks who are safe and who get ahead know the right people, not necessarily the job best. It’s discouraging when solid work gets ignored... — read more
NM Intel
Someone posted asking if we should continue with the fab in Lickin, OH. I am wondering if it was smart reviving the Rio Rancho. I am sure Corrales was happy.

Should I buy Intel stock or toilet papers ?
I don’t work for Intel but I want to invest in Intel stock because some online people told me it is under value and can double my money or even triple my money in a very short time. Honestly, I have $1000 spare to start learning about investment to... — read more

Intel leaving California
With Intel closing and relocating all california research centers and the financial woes, is it more likely we’ll get a relocation stipend or severance pay?
Dream Job?
When you were young, did you dream of working at Intel? Or did you want to do something?
Starting new job while on sabbatical?
Is it allowed to work at another company while still on Intel's payroll? My manager started at Lam the week he started his sabbatical. He is still approving things for my group. I don't know if he has officially given his notice even.
Do you think Intel is actually going to pull itself out of this hole?
Honest question. I don’t, and I’ve been angry at myself for holding on this long. I regret every single day now that I got so complacent over the years. I ignored the warning signs, even when the sirens were blaring. Now, most of us are stuck with... — read more

Notification dates
Not sure how useful this is, but at least it’s not just a rumor—our immediate manager just informed us that we’ll find out between July 7th–9th whether we’ve been impacted or not. I’m in RA4.
there will be neither “voluntary buyouts” nor “early retirement packages” offered.
But, in perhaps a rougher note still, reports noted that there will be neither “voluntary buyouts” nor “early retirement packages” offered. Rather, Intel will be firing employees “…based on performance evaluations and strategic priorities,” reports... — read more
