Has the job market been getting any better?

Reality is that employment at Intel has always been risky.
They at one time paid a salary premium which offset that risk and for non-engineers, the salary is still reasonably good. The company did it's first layoff 3 years after being founded, shedding 30% of the workforce in the early 1970s. It has laid... — read more
For anyone more obsessed with the stock than Pat, Christie, or Sales GMs having fun,
the sector appears to have topped or at least is due for a solid retest and that should put a spike down in Intel given the uncertainty of the current situation. Of course, NVDA, AMD, AVGO, TSM will also be cheaper, and Intel is not likely to... — read more

Does anyone know what’s happened with Greg?
18A
Anyone have any idea if this is true? What is it relative to the current projection? When is it supposed to ship? Another delay and we will be toast. Is there a clear, high confidence, roadmap for the fixes? Are the fixes being urgently addressed at... — read more
Intel hasn't 'failed'. It is merely an incomplete success.
Choose to see the fabs half empty but they are actually half full.
Issues for registering Intel Cobra for 2025? premium due is shown
Did everyone register Intel Cobra without issues for 2025? For me 2024 explicitly shows no payment due as Intel subsidiary pays the premium. However, when I was registering for 2025, the Intel subsidiary didn't show up, therefore, all the premium... — read more
Another HUGE payout to the next CEO to try and right the ship.

Q to insiders: What's up on Circuit these days?
Is it the usual Blah-rah-rah from the Corporate Propaganda Department or the reality is being acknowledged?
Lots of histrionic posting about the eminent demise of Intel, but that is unlikely outcome.
Reality is that the company still has plenty of revenue and just needs to scale the Foundry and Products to better fit the addressable market (not some fantasy market where everyone comes back to Intel). The Product side has gotten back on the... — read more
Will Washington need to step up to support Intel?

WSJ: He Was Going to Save Intel. He Destroyed $150 Billion of Value Instead.

PG’s exec hire list
Can we now take a look at the folks brought in to execute a failing strategy that forced a CEOs retirement? Sales, HR, Finance, etc.
Hey, but… “Reward”?
Is INTC still going to pay out for the 5% salary reduction we took in 2023? Word was that it was still getting paid out after 12/3 closure of market… obviously need time to do the payroll… am I remembering this correctly?

TD ATA Hiring?
Will TD keep hiring or will they freeze their reqs now that Pat is out?
D-mb Dave says that financials are stable, if still not exciting. Naga talks about smart capital.
Keep in mind the issue here, by all appearances, is whether to break up the company, plus disagreement about staffing needed to run the existing business Pat (and the loser Foundry manager who recently was 'Retired') was not cost efficient in the... — read more
No change to foundry strategy
Interesting comments from the UBS Technology conference. Pat is gone, and nothing changes.

Altera full sell off now?
With Pat gone, is Altera going the IPO route still or the board wants full sell off now? Lattice deal might be looking plausible at this point?
Layoffs during the transitional period
Do you think the interim CEOs will dare to initiate layoffs while they're in charge, or have we earned a brief reprieve at least until the search for the new head honcho wraps up?
