What PC slowdown? Too bad Win-Intel can’t make a good laptop.

would you believe him?

A nice 5% jump after earning. Thanks, PG!

My manager said they bill about $150k per employee for budgeting. This translates to about $3B/150k = approx 20,000 jobs. There arent 20k people in SMG. Maybe 5-8k in SMG. So there will be cuts across all groups. This looks bad.

So for those that survive this round, we get three more years of cost cutting, project elimination, outsourcing, and fear+paranoia. Just hope I last long enough to weather the economic storm and escape on the other side. Sounds like a rough two years... — read more 

Thats a lot of H1B employees

Results within the forecasted range, albeit at lower end of the range. https://www.intc.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/1586/intel-reports-third-quarter-2022-financial-results

Has anyone heard rumors specifically which BU’s will targeted most for these layoffs? Or is the plan to just skim some off the top of each one?

I am a new hire (January ‘22) so this is my first go-around. Realistically, what are my chances of getting the axe?

I have a feeling the all company will be full of fluff with no concrete information though the actual layoffs may be deep and brutal. They might downplay the layoffs and focus on ego boosting delusions of IDM2.0

They want everybody off the books before 31st December. For those impacted, you will get a meeting notification between today and Sunday, scheduling an apparent 1:1 with your manager for next week. When you get in the conference room, an HR rep will... — read more 

Do they just send an automated email for layoffs?

What will be QPB this year?

Any latest updates on the numbers and the groups that are affected?

Ok guys, brace for impact. For those of you that most likely will be affected and for those ones that wants to help out, what do you think if we do a collective last push and share all possible BKM's to max out our exit? Here is what I have: “How... — read more

I know more than 5 of top 10 SOC design engineers work at intel. Believe in IDM2 and stay calm

Seriously, if Intel is that bad, why wait until the layoffs to complain and leave? Remember is employment at will, hence Intel does not owe you a job or you are stock with Intel for life. Stop complaining and act!!!

I think that the employees here are more than ever convinced that those who are friends with their superiors are safer than those who are great employees but are not part of the clique. How does Intel intend to be competitive with such a... — read more

Trying to get idea how this plays out if you get notified on November 1? Do you get 60 days, 2 weeks? Will they do VSP first?

I took VSP during the first round in 2015…after 19 years. I didn’t really qualify for it, but had recently gotten divorced and needed to move to a different state to be near the kids, so my boss helped me get it. Fast forward 7 years, I was moving... — read more 

There are posts that lament hiring family/friends. Why the frown if they are talented, hardworking, and reliable. It’s a win-win for Intel and the employees.

After 20+ years at Intel I retired earlier this year. Like Daniel, I too could read the writing on the wall, and it said "leave now" and avoid the massacre later." In my time at Intel I have observed far too many bad decisions by upper management... — read more

Most of all, I would like to have a sincere conversation with my manager to express my concerns, that is, ask him if I might lose my job so I can take action. Maybe someone has already done that?

PO had SET up the company for success. BK has ACT'ed with the best intention. What would PG be remembered for?

I don't know why, but I've never been more anxious than now that these cuts are around the corner. Also I have never been less productive. I barely manage to concentrate on my work. On the other hand, I think that getting laid off, despite... — read more
