CS gone
Cruise Ship has been fired. While this won’t fix SMG overnight, it is cathartic.
Sad
So much doom and gloom in the air. Very negative environment. I've never seen it like this before. This time around so many are worried, concerned, and frustrated. Gen X and Y have gone silent. Worried and concerned. Gen Z is talking amongst... — read more
the streets say
juniors learned how to get their job done quickly and watch youtube from company laptops all day while applying to and interviewing with competition
Site Censorship
How many times have you been censored on this site in one day, one week, or one month? My personal best is three times within a week.
Spider Pat! Spider Pat! Intel is doomed, Spider Pat!
Friday is approaching. Ready for Pat show, team Intel? Andy, Gordon, Robert- all are watching the demise of tech titan.
Why we’re doomed
It’s the can’t do spirit. Take Lunar Lake. Other companies can make on package memory work yet we decide it’s too hard. When we decide things are too hard we curl up and die!!! C’mon!!!
People advocating for a Strike
They have to be some of the lowest IQ people around.
Who picked who to layoff in the last round?
Was the last layoff done by HR or did Managers pick who to layoff?
Intel’s Not Going to Change Without an Embarrassing Strike
… So let’s do it! And let me get all the Schill responses out of the way for ya: “I don’t believe…” “… banana’s/coffee” “Op gonna get fired” Etc., etc.
Intel should be embarrassed.
There’s been a burst of demand for Intel's older laptop CPUs because of tariff fears and consumers are avoiding 13th and 14th generation chips like the plague. Who’s responsible for releasing defective intel chips into the marketplace? Engineers... — read more
Intel will do just fine
Intel is making a comeback. Lip Bu is the right pick. He will trim the excess fat and get rid of useless managers and processes. 4 day a week return to office will force 5% attrition. Another 5% will be trimmed . I doubt the aforementioned... — read more
10% Pay Cut in May
It’s on the way people. Rumor has it, that it might be more
Average raises 5%+
5%+ raises, you heard it here first. You can come back and like the comment in May when you see how right I was.
Strike Demands
More Clarity around Layoffs (LBT was asked directly and tap danced) More and Better Training for our Management (Too many are insidious in action and require reprogramming) Predictable Pay Increases (We live in a time of high inflation. Two... — read more
Not buying the Lip-Bu Tan Intel turnaround strategy.
Your money would have been better spent on caviar and your time would be better spend on a power grab that won't leave egg on your face. Of all the things you could waist your time and money on..This ain't It...and you know it. This "I love... — read more
Intel is doomed.
If this is the type of Intel worker that’s still left, the ones with no integrity, the ones crying about RTO, the ones advocating a strike, the ones advocating boycotting Intel’s products, Intel is doomed!!
Don’t buy Intel products to protest 20K layoffs and RTO policy
No need to make noises with Strike. Just make it quiet and silent as nothing is going to happen. Use your money wisely than an Intel id--t
Intel Foundry Reveals Plans For “Process Leadership”
And the stock tanks. Looks like the market has finally had enough of Intels bloviating nonsense.
Will people use more sick days with RTO
Since we have unlimited sick days, I feel it would be much better to use these and not go online to work as I have done the past 10 years. If you work from home, even because you are sick, you will likely get flagged as non-compliant in the... — read more
On this whole RTO discussion
Remember, anyone is replaceable If you can do your job remotely, then so can anyone else - from anywhere. Looking at you in the higher cost GEO's See #1 Bottom line - if you want a chance at keeping your job, show up. It su-ks to not have... — read more
Are we a better organization now than we were six months ago?
Honestly, what do you think?
RTO = 3 Day Weekend
LBT openly acknowledged work doesn’t get done from home, so it isn’t something he expects. Put in a hard four at the office, and then enjoy your long weekend, every weekend! Once he fires everyone, he’ll have way less leverage over those who... — read more
Main purpose of the RTO is to force people out
It also results in the best, or at least those best positioned to look for a more convenient or better work arrangement, leaving first. RTO is about control too, not efficiency or collaboration. All excuses are bullsh-t, basically. But it’s in line... — read more
RTO and Fully Remote Engineers
I heard that fully remote engineers without an office nearby will face layoffs. Seems unfair as I took the position knowing that I would be allowed to work remotely. Management says that our CEO is tightening the return-to-office rule, and there... — read more
With Intel's latest layoffs, will the Ohio plant ever be built?
Ohio's top union leader is disappointed and concerned following Intel's announcement of significant layoffs, which could affect the state's multi-billion-dollar manufacturing plant. The corporation refused to answer any of our questions on how this... — read more
Is anybody safe?
I know there's rarely any real rhyme or reason to layoffs, but I have to ask: is there anyone who can actually feel secure right now? Any team, any role? Or is it just a free-for-all at this point?
After 3 year slide...
What is the ultimate plan? Layoff 15% each year until 0 headcount?
RTO six days a week, mandatory, starting next week...
Intel offering flexibility, you can chose either Saturday or Sunday as your 6th RTO day. If you have extensive evening calls with Asia, as part of making the office more attractive, we will strive to keep a few area lights on while you remain on... — read more
It’s obvious once you see it
LBT can’t spell out the layoff rate because for FabCo the rate will be 100% Nobody wants to do business with FabCo not even ProdCo (Nova Lake) and the debt is crippling even if people did. Nobody wants to try to get money out of that. ProdCo has a... — read more
Sweater man meeting
Is Jcrew man going to disclose anything useful today?
I received a Strike Email
Looks like this is really happening folks! Post here if you get the email.
Fun times ahead
It’s hard to say what’s worse - waiting to find out your fate, or realizing the job market is a total nightmare.
I Agree we do need a Strike!
I know HR is all over any post mentioning strike. But workers need to level set with our corporate masters. I agree with the Strike posts.
No strategy no recovery more layoffs
Just shuffle the game cards again with new CEO
Are we just going to ignore this?
Are we going to see accountability for 13th and 14th Gen CPUs? Crashing and damaged out of the box. RMA nightmare. Customers lost forever. Confidence in our products gone. Seems like Intel is just extending the warranties and hoping it all goes... — read more
1-Day Strike
We want more transparency on decisions (layoffs) We want a say in company direction (as employees not just minuscule shareholder votes) We want better training and accountability for our management We want predictable pay raises and compensation... — read more
Did you plan for your exit?
Too late to wait
