They have to be some of the lowest IQ people around.

Was the last layoff done by HR or did Managers pick who to layoff?

… 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.

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 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 

It’s on the way people. Rumor has it, that it might be more

5%+ raises, you heard it here first. You can come back and like the comment in May when you see how right I was.

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

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!!

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

And the stock tanks. Looks like the market has finally had enough of Intels bloviating nonsense.

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 

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 

Honestly, what do you think?

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 

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 

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

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?

What is the ultimate plan? Layoff 15% each year until 0 headcount?

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 

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 

Is Jcrew man going to disclose anything useful today?

Looks like this is really happening folks! Post here if you get the email.

It’s hard to say what’s worse - waiting to find out your fate, or realizing the job market is a total nightmare.

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.

Just shuffle the game cards again with new CEO

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
