In Jan, Mr. Gelsinger said that he expected PC demand to remain strong. He dismissed the quarter over quarter declines as being partially related to supply chain and didn't even mention the possibility demand would weaken. He also said Sapphire... — read more
Perception of the company in the industry
It is quite logical that respected companies tend to hold their value longer. But is Intel as respected by the industry as it used to be? There are more and more people who say that it is not and that the experience at Intel on their resume did not... — read more
How many are still left to cut?
Any ideas? Over 1.5K have already been affected so far, and I'm hearing anywhere between 2.5k and 5k still to go. Which of these numbers is closer to the truth?
At least we know we're safe this week
Not a chance Intel is going to pull off major layoffs during Thanksgiving week. I guess that's something to be thankful for. Even if a whole bunch of us wouldn't even mind it just to get it over with. Thanksgiving week layoffs beat months-long wait... — read more

ELT showmanship, arrogance, lack of vision and flaunting of ignorance
To sum up Intel’s state of the art of current free fall are couple of pointers, which are no brainer: Political goons run the show who are no different at all from the corrupt politicians who run the country 95% of executives just speak... — read more
TD is spared from layoffs. Good for me or else I will not get a job anywhere else
I am happy that TD ones will not be laid off. I am from TD. And no, I am not sarcastic. I know, if I am laid off, I will not only get no job, but actually I am unemployable. Being a PhD in Physics for last many years at Intel, what I know the best... — read more

Peanut butter cuts of 10% across all organization won't fix the problem.
If you were able to get a 1-1 with Pat, what would propose? 1/ Cut discrete graphics. Over 12 years trying and $1.5 Billion wasted. 2/ Spin off networking business. It is worth more to Broadcom or Marvell then Intel. 3/ Sell programmable logic... — read more
What did TSMC founder say about Intel's leader and IDM 2.0?
Morris Chang: "I've met every one of Intel's CEOs, including that fellow [Pat]. Five years ago, that fellow was already a bit co--y. Today he is very discourteous toward TSMC. I deal with him the way he deals with us." "If you want to re-establish a... — read more
Moore's Law of Intel Exec Leadership
The count of VPs, SVPs, Fellows and Senior Fellow will double every 3 years.
Manufacturing not affected?
From what I've seen and heard it doesn't look like manufacturing techs will be affected. Also looks like the build outs are still going.
The Big Picture
2016 : 2010, Intel gets lazy and doesn't execute. Falls behind competition. Pandemic hits, companies buy as many PCs as they can find, even Intel based machines. Intel gets new CEO and the hiring and arrogant bravado ramp up. Things looked rosy... — read more
Employment options are becoming limited
If you're bad at what you do, no more free ride, no matter who you're friends with. If you're mediocre at your job, you should also start worrying. If you're good, I don't think you should have any issues finding new employment, even with all the... — read more

New Grads
I know it’s different in different scenarios, but does intel have history of rescinding offers? Or considering I will be joining in May, and layoffs are still going on, they lay me off a couple of months wishing joining? I don’t want to renege after... — read more
Hypothesis on why layoffs are taking longer than expected
Possibly because the target layoff number is in the 15k+ range, and this requires time to identify those who will be affected. It will not be a surprise that it could get into the 20k+ and the biggest layoff ever.
It's just business
Intel prefers to keep us until the last minute. The fact that they will eventually dump us at a moment that is most inconvenient for us is of no interest to this company in the least. It's just business. Those who think that they are something... — read more

OLD WINE IN NEW BOTTTLE

GSEM Layoff : Obvious horrendous planning and execution
