While I’m hearing and noticing that people have been leaving, I’ve also been wondering why given the state of the job market. It’s literally flooded with tech people. It seems to me that the attrition is not as high as it’s widely claimed. I decided... — read more

PLEASE Return all Intel Employees to the office
This is not working, the WFH people don't even reply to emails. What a joke paying these folks. Will be a great case study
will Donald end tech export restrictions to China ?
yes he will, and relatively soon, contrary to the myth of his 'anti-China' policies.
There is a major server outage in Chandler today
Affecting lots of VM’s. It will be back up “soon” no ETA This is the Intel we work for these days
Just the truth….
Yes many folks here are ex employees that hope the company crumbles to the ground. Yes many folks felt burned by Intel and although many left involuntarily….. many left willingly. If you are still there, we wish you the best to “survive and... — read more

Is it better to move on or stick with Intel? Genuine advice-please
Hey guys, please advice, is it better to move on from intel or stay with it since it looks like major hurdles are over and company in the path to recover? In this case, one who stayed will get opportunity to step up and grow.
An ideal strategy might be one that spins off all but TD to a new company and starts developing on ARM
Pure speculation on my part but I've felt that the original sins were: Selling ARM-based Xscale in favor of trying to push x86 into phones. Combining TD with HVM. The ARM part is maybe a more obvious choice, as we are long past the point where... — read more
Any guesses on when CEO announcement might happen?
Before earnings on Jan 30? or after?
The real reason Pat left
Pat wants us to stay as one company. He even negotiated with the Biden administration to state that any spin off company would have to pay back the CHIPS Act money. So Fabco can’t spin off. But no spin off inherits the AMD64 license so prodco can’t... — read more

Stop pointing fingers at WFH people
They work just like everyone else—some less, some more. Some slack off, others put in the effort. It's the same as in the office. We’re not the problem with each other; leadership is the problem for all of us.
The companies most important assets what to return to office
I hope that the "interims" do what is expected and mandate a return to the office worldwide during our next update meeting. Remote work is not working it is ripe with slackers, child care, housecleaning, not paying attention in meeting, constantly... — read more
Next CEO
There really is only one credible name - Lip-Bu Tan. Intel is already a lost cause thanks to the megalomaniac Pat who ran it into the ground. If the board cannot first hire Lip-Bu and then fire themselves, we have no hope.
Being back Omar Ishrak as CEO
Omar was one of the best Chairman BOD we ever had . He understands the business and is a veteran leader of the industry for decades. He will make Intel great again and Wall Street trusts his leadership based on his previous experiences . Arrow lake... — read more

No more telecommuting
60 hour week in an office nearest to your location, buildings will have lease backs, and / or consolidation. This is great news for Intel and for its employees most of whom (top performers) have been saying this, craving this for a long time now... — read more
Any wellness off in 2025?
So this year no more wellness off? would the interim ceo approve wellness off this year?
The WFH/BTO debate reminds me of when I asked my pets what type of bag is preferred.
The Dog said Plastic (when I take him for a 'walk') The Cat said Paper (and that this was not up for debate)
NVDA CEO crushed Quantum bubble today, claiming it will take decades to be a threat to his business.
Others think it will take on AI workloads much, much sooner, but they of course don't have a bubblecap tech company to keep from collapsing. Either way, Intel has dodged a bullet, having no more relevance to Quantum than it does to AI. But it was a... — read more
Western self-sufficiency in computer chips is just not going to happen

Even from 2 years ago… Intel looks that much worse on a resume.
