All Day today spent approving AGS
How is Intel more efficient when I spent all 8 hours today approving entitlements for people in this AGS system. Is this efficiency?
RTO Grade 9+
I overhead that all senior level grade 9 and above will be required to be in the office a minimum of 5 (count them) five days. This is to role model full RTO before making this mandatory for the rest of the employees.
Shocking news: Apple MacBook $500 could lay off 50% Intel employees

AI and Intel Layoffs?
Do you think at this stage, given the scale of redundancies already undertaken, that we are relatively safe from the 'sweeping layoffs' being announced elsewhere? No mo--nic responses please.
RTO Firings start April
Employees of Intel not in alignment with RTO will begin to be culled starting in April.
Cindy Stoddard
She is the best Intel could pull in this day and age I guess? I am confident with her coding background and her ability to be so fluent in AI Intel will be back in no time. She could use a Dale Carnegie course though. #accountantwithnoITskills

Same same at intel
Nothing has changed except headcount. A little lower, still much more headroom to cut. Applications causing slowness in employee work (see AGS). Many office employees provide little to no value. Same old RTO complaints now have evolved to badging in... — read more
Attrition after Annual review
Is the current attrition rate consider normal after annual review or is the grass greener on the other side? (At this pace cpm won't be needed)
Is Intel found by genius people and running by id--ts now ?
Why are there so many layoffs ?
To my counterparts in Israel
I wish you good luck and safe travels during this time of conflict.
Life After Layoff
Don't sweat it, there is life after a layoff. Keep a positive attitude and you will overcome this minor setback.
Are we at the magic headcount number yet?

The relocation trap
We had a group of people who relocated last year. Picked up their families, bought houses, got settled. Then most of them were gone within six months during the last major purge. Intel didn't care. A relocation isn't protection. It's just another... — read more

Intel Investor going after Lip and Lutnick
Also, $5.81/share? The employees don’t get that deal… in fact, Intel changed their ESSP rules that make the program not as favorable to employees. https://news.bloomberglaw.com/esg/intel-ceo-lutnick-commerce-sued-over-10-stake-sale-to-us
Anyone else tired of drowning?
Despite all the promises, the workload hasn't changed after all the layoffs. If anything, it's gotten worse since morale has tanked and many of the remaining employees are burned out and have given up on putting in the effort. The fact that there's... — read more

Don’t you find it amusing how long Naga writes his weekly novels? Who reads that stuff anyhow?
Something big is coming - VPs are doing non-stop meetings
Something big is coming - VPs are doing non-stop meetings.
It just gets worse, when we were just starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Some of us go to work with the hopes that Intel will get a lucky break and things will stabilize. Some of my coworkers are great to work with, and I've worked for some great managers. We were starting to see a glimpse of light at the end of the... — read more

Employees are in layoff scare times so they cannot make any good products. Better to stay away from it.

Remember when an Intel retiree called out the toxic culture?
It happened about a year ago on LinkedIn. Everyone was up in arms about it. A year later, nothing changed, and I’m betting most of you don’t even remember it.

APB results
Hey all, I have seen a couple threads asking about pro-rated APB. I worked in Aloha and left July 31st so I asked a friend about the pay date. He said the 17th, so I checked my pay statement in Workday and it is showing up. I was happily surprised... — read more
Exit Interviews

The only one that's flourishing is Intel. At least we're the best at something, I guess.
Where would you apply if you were to be laid off?
Most of the big players that are actually doing well don't seem to be hiring.
