Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

Lets sum up the damage done by Pastor Pat

  1. Jan 2021: Joins earnings call before becoming CEO. Says something stupid. Stock tanks.
  2. Feb 2021: On Day 1, calls Apple a lifestyle company. Incredible arrogance.
  3. Feb 2021: Says AMD in rear-view mirror, starts scare-mongering about China/TSMC.
  4. Creates IFS : Should have created 1 Foundry org with one real leader. Instead he created 3 orgs each with utterly incompetent leaders.
  5. Hired DEI HR and Legal officers. Fired the old CFO and hired a yes-man DZ in his place.

5a. Hired retired deadweights to lead Design. Zero vision for the CPU, GPU or AI products.

  1. 2021: Began the insanity of 5N4Y. Utterly brain-dead idea devoid of any understanding of semiconductor development and foundry economics.
  2. 2021: Spent billions on raises, bonuses, retention grants.
  3. 2021: Bet the company on 18A - without understanding why TD had failed on 10/7nm.
  4. 2022 : Began a hiring spree like no other. WHY? Because COVID spending on CPUs would last forever.
  5. 2022 : Kept claiming 18A was doing great.
  6. 2022 : Began WILD Capex spend - Ohio, Germany, Ireland, Poland, Italy, France and so many other places to build factories without any plans to fill them.
  7. 2022 : Began lobbying for $$$ from Biden instead of actually running the company.
  8. 2023 : Claimed market was softening so cut everyone's pay.
  9. 2023 : 6 months later, claimed the "bottom was in" so restored pay. WHAT?
  10. 2023 : BORROWED money from private equity to build fabs, calls it SMART CAPITAL.
  11. Q1 : Losing money. Losing market share. Finally realizes sh-t is hitting the fan.
  12. Q2 : Disastrous earnings. Forced to layoff 20k. Cuts all benefits. Sells most offices. Sells all non-essential businesses.
  13. Q3 : Gives generous packages to departing employees costing the company BILLIONS.
  14. Q4 : Claims 5N4Y is "DONE".
  15. December 2024 : FIRED.
  16. Goes on Twitter to claim 18A is doing great, refuting media reports.
  17. Asks everyone to "pray for Intel" and fast every Thursday.

I think this post is a toss up between the robo-voting and the pathos of the inanity.

Overall, looks like the work of a 10 year old, but I do like the Kasinsky reference.

No matter how much you post, it doesn't reverse Pat's pathetic performance, over-promises, unwarranted bragging and utter failure as CEO.

Occam's Razor suggests that this post is just trolling but I could go with the unibummer theory.

After all, isn't Intel the best place to work if you hate technology?

They should use that slogan in their DEI recruitment efforts.

Thus the delusional list of gripes and what is now over 1100 up votes (which show up hundreds at a time, so totally fugazi)

OP, your analysis is completely on point. Pat is by far the worst CEO during my time at Intel. I think any reasonably intelligent person could have figured this out along the way like some of us did, but the way you captured it should make it so unreasonably intelligent people could also understand. Why is it then that the BOD allowed this to happen? My argument is that they are completely out of touch. They are focused on short term gains and trying to mimic other companies instead of making quality products. Rich executives that don’t understand what life is like for the average person applying the rich dad poor dad principals to a multibillion dollar semiconductor business. WTF?

You probably spent waaaay too much time compiling this list. The comparison to uni bummer appear to be quite apt. Maybe Intel IT should relay to the FCC. Either that, or put your head down and contribute to the company’s success

@17t+1jhshsr98 I sent the link to the IT Info Security team. I used to work adjacent to them and they seem to enjoy herding the black sheep.

Also copied Dave, because he has a terrific sense of humor and I thought it might be amusing to him, or maybe not.

The technicians who spend their days on this site may soon have something else to do with all the free time they are going to have.

Exactly the people who need to be escorted out of the building.

OP may already be terminated.
IT scans for abuse of company resources, including bandwidth on personal devices.

HR and IT have a team whose job is to find and terminate those who fail to follow the rules about company resources. People are routinely terminated due to this team.

Crazy and ignorant to be acting like OP at work.

If the Dave-MJ Twins read this, it might encourage them to scan Intel work PCs and see who is spending all day and night voting on this silly website.

Now that would be a performance-based headcount action we could all get behind!

This is seriously some of the most unhinged, ill-informed drivel I've ever seen.

Clearly the work of some fab monkey.

Who is unhinged?

OP making factual statements or the witch finger lover who somehow thinks destroying shareholder value is a great achievement?

By the way, which finger lover also seems to be VERY actively voting in this old post that nobody will read.

By the way, I’m not OP.

He’s taking about 150 BILLION in market cap.

Pat didn't lose $150B.

He invested it, with Board approval and likely all of the ELT.

Nothing wrong with that.

The damage was from many years of cultural and management rot. Intel was walking dead when Pat showed up. Prior to Pat there had been over a 100 Billion is stock buybacks vs investing in the business.
