Now that Sanjay is being shown exit doors (thanks Sanjay for losing everyone of chips act funded NSTC centers), what’s to expect out of TR? It’s getting to be comical.

Poor RTO cry babies. Hope you can sleep tonight knowing the rest of the company is made up of adults.

Wow AMD!!!
Wow, AMD is now 2/3 of Intel revenue. How many quarters more before their revenue exceeds Intel’s?
The $536m in interest from the $1.1B EU fine may be the best Intel investment since 2009
What other investment returned 50%? Drones? 10nm? 7nm? Bueller?
Anyone Else Loading Up?
DeepSeek just delivered a knockout blow. OpenAI, Anthropic, and the rest of these LLM builders have duped everyone into thinking you need big gassed-up GPUs. You do - but for an AGI that’s still 5 years away. We’re fast approaching “good enough” for... — read more

How many VPs does it take to run Intel, are you kidding me with all this nonsense? These folks are worthless, yet are paid handsomely. WTF

Another whale lost. No turning point on 18A.
I'm impatient
When will layoffs pick up again? I want out, but I want to be paid to leave. The sooner, the better.

Corporate Hypocrisy? Lavish Events & Overflowing MDF While Employees Get the Axe
Tech giants are slashing jobs, citing cost-cutting and efficiency, yet they're pouring millions into partner summits, customer events, and MDF-fueled marketing blitzes. Is this justifiable business strategy, or blatant hypocrisy? How do employees... — read more
Another week without a real CEO
It is February already. When do we get a real CEO? And it better not be MJ.
Sick and tired of these unannounced forced laptop reboots by IT
Why the fudge can't windows updates and system patches be done in a way that does not impact work at this company? I hate the way they just force reboot at random times (weekday, weekend) without any consideration for people's work. When (not if) I... — read more

Companies are looking at Intel but passing. Largely this appears due to the continued excess Foundry expansion.
The entrenched strategy of reckless capacity expansion is one of the things that Dave and others have said they are trying to change. The company may ultimately have to shed some fabs and associated headcount for that effort to better align with the... — read more

Intel 401(k) Employer Match True Up
From meeting notes, I wrote down that people who took the retirement package would receive a match true-up to their 401ks in January, 2025. Did anyone receive this? Maybe I just misunderstood the details, and we just didn't qualify?

Just signed separation package
Hi all, I was dealing with family emergencies and traveling. I just signed the severance package. Did I miss the deadline? I will reach out to them on Monday but need some reassurance if anyone here knows. Thanks
Recommendation to new CEO - Lay Off middle Layers - who are status deliverers and presentation creators
Intel has a minimum of 4-5 useless middle management layers who just ask status and report status, while Engineers and first level managers (ofc high performers only) work around the clock.
WFH is WINNER, RTO needs to go back HOME
WFH is the future!
