Since nobody of consequence is going to see this, just treat this as me taking a break and passing some gas. HR is a tool, and HR people are a bunch of tools. They're supposed to treat everyone at the company as fungible cogs, that's just their modus... — read more
All things are Generational
Intel had a growth spurt from 1989 to 2000 that was very remarkable due to its partnerships with IBM/MSFT/DELL and all rhe PC clone ecosystem. This will NEVER repeat itself and it was a generational shift in computing which took over 25 years to... — read more
Root cause of the current situation - HR
Though BK is responsible for ACT happening, responsibility for treating the employees the way they did, lies with HR and its leader at that time, and RT. But the worst sin of HR is not ACT. It is the way leadership development was made to happen over... — read more
What the new CEO has to realize abuot Intel culture

Not Coming Clean
The worst thing to come out of this firing was the clear and unambiguous message that Intel’s board does not intend to come clean about the problems at the company, and that should really worry you.
When will we know?
Is there a deadline for choosing Intel's new CEO or can this drag on indefinitely?
Charlie calls it like it is - again: https://www.semiaccurate.com/2018/06/29/intels-firing-of-ceo-brian-krzanich-is-a-cover-for-deeper-problems/
A housecleaning is near. This one: "0ne high ranking female CxO was known to be having a long term and not hidden affair with their male subordinate." Hmm...I wonder who that could be? Someone who went to Google maybe?
Can we get them back?
Now that BK is gone, what are the chances we can get some of the best people who were shown the door in the past several years back to Intel? Most of them have landed in better companies that actually treat their employees decently, but we can at... — read more

The echoes of S7acy
Did you guys ever hear St4cy Sm1th’s talk where he said 1) Intel has about 5 years to turn things around (that was in 2014), and 2) let’s not be BlackBerry. I’d love to take him out for a beer right now and see what he thinks.
YES! Kick them while they are down!
