We need more of this
We need to put pressure on CEOs - Pat included - regarding layoffs and sending jobs abroad. We need everybody to care, from government to the public to employees. It'd be so good to watch them squirm for a change as they justify their decisions. Why... — read more
Took VSP and never looked back
Try to leave, guys, if you have other options. If not, look hard. Why would any of you suffer for bad decisions of the leadership? Leave the sinking ship. The sooner the better.
Intel Family
How are we feeling “Intel Family”? If your still feeling the indoctrination, the jokes on you. No CEO thinks of his employees as family. Pat sells that idea just like he’s been selling the idea that Intel is not falling apart around him. Do you... — read more
CEO hiring judgment
The fact that Pat hired folks like Christoph, Christy and Dave is all you need to know about Pat’s judgment Christoph is an arrogant pr--k Christy is clueless Dave is just Pat’s yes boy
Complete the list of items
Reasons for poor results: china weakness, macro headwind, supply chain issue, not participating in AI race, this the bottom and improve from here, soft CPU demand, second half will recover, inventory correction. Those are the excuses Pat made both... — read more

VSP and ERP are over
Does anyone really believe that Intel can recover or are you just using the time to look for another job? Continue to milk the cow metaphor. Now that you waited for the worst economic conditions possible to hold off leaving you should be scared. If... — read more
Is INTC a good buy at $10?
Good value at $10?
Who’s holding on because of the income and health insurance??
We all have families to feed, expenses to pay, and in need of health insurance. Who else is holding on until the ship sinks because of the salary and health insurance? Let’s admit it: Pat’s “strategy” is going to sink us!
Whatever is happening to Intel is well deserved. Thoughts?
BK started this mess in 2015 with the ACT and you now see the results.
Across the street
meanwhile Nvidia is buying back stock @ 25x REVENUE while the CEO dumps almost $20M worth almost every DAY is priceless… Not to mention the fact that it's a $50 billion buyback and the company's total cash balance is $35 billion…
Nvidia reports 122% revenue growth on surging demand for data center chips
Pat, what’s going on, buddy??
Do the managers know who volunteered for CPM now?
Has anyone discussed it with their direct manager or skip level?
Employees should protest outside Intel site NOW. Ask for Pat's removal.
Haven't you had enough. Do something.
For all TD process people: what other options exist today?
Other than the obvious ones in AZ or ID, what other options are y'all exploring/interviewing/landing?
Who makes vsp approval decisions?
Title says it all
When did Intel started paying above the industry standard?
Every offer I get is lower than what I make here. Did pay go down across the board and I missed it or is something else going on?
Hillsboro, Oregon will be a ghost town
The current population of Hillsboro, Oregon is 107,299 with a working population of 58,000, so after Intel Layoffs it will be a ghost town. I imagine for every job at Intel, there are 10 supporting jobs from fast food workers to part suppliers... — read more
People should not cheer Lip-Bu Tan for exiting now
Intel didn’t find itself in problems last week. This is the result of accumulated mistakes, bad decisions and failed leadership/mgmt over a long stretch of time. It’s easy to leave once the lid blows up and dirt starts bubbling up. These people... — read more
Captain Christoph gives raises to 4 VPs
The drunken captain is at it again. We are all familiar with some of his greatest hits - Cruises, trips to Davos, weeks in Paris for the Olympics, and Cannes advertising shows. But the best of all might be this past week when he promoted 3 VPs to... — read more
Face the facts
Intel management sees every one of us as very replaceable and they will continue to replace us as long as they have cheaper options. That's the way things are and they're not going to change any time soon. It's not about what you know or how good you... — read more
After layoffs those who remain ..
Will have a compensation of way below average. Can intel win with not properly compensating employees?
Why foundry losing billions and no layoff
However product team get huge cut?
This is why you should work on finding a new job before layoffs
Calif. tech companies see laid-off workers as 'table scraps,' recruiters say https://www.sfgate.com/tech/article/california-tech-companies-laid-off-table-scraps-19723851.php
Seems like the early retirement…
Incentives hit the spot with many… starting to hear about quite few that took it. Good on them…
Why did anyone believe in Pat?
Yeah he worked on the 486. Great engineer, but he has no vision. He became CTO of Intel in 2001. What technology did Intel develop during his tenure other than x86 processors? Larrabee? Fail Xscale? Sold WiMAX? Mega fail Etc… He then went to EMC... — read more

IFS = Intels Fu--ing Stupid
The validation group under IFS is the d-mbest thing ever. IFS already having problem selling wafers, what makes anyone think selling VaaS (validation as a service) is a good idea? No wonder this company is going down the toilet.
