If the laid off employees are not being walked out, who will want to work?
I hear that those that get laid off next week won't be walked out right away like in past ACTs, but instead will be "allowed to stay till Nov 15th". Wtf does that mean? Who is going to want to work once laid off? The best case scenario is that they... — read more
Managers, when will you announce ?
do you already know when you will have your 1:1 with the ISP'ed?
It's that bad, when Pat seeks inspiration from Pink Floyd

IFS will fail
It is doomed. No one seems to want to change their mindset of how to operate. If they would actually change how they approach this change, they might actually have a chance to survive.
I want to know (LNL)
Lunar Lake is a fantastic CPU. Everyone who worked on it should feel proud. How useful is the NPU / AI capability? What wonderful things can users do with it? Pretend you’re rooting for an Intel turnaround and want to help these things sell.
Congratulations to anyone receiving an ISP
In the long run, you will be happier without Intel. Forcibly having the blue kool-aid removed from your diet might be a shock at first, but when you work your first 40 hour week at a new company instead of a 60 hour week it will start to click. ... — read more
