The IT organization is overflowing with program managers, product managers , product owners and managers and lots of overlaps. People who just pass along emails and live in power points. Who are good at talking and doing nothing. So sickening..

@1qx loved missle command on atari 400. later there was a port to an intel pds.
Intel had more than 7,000 home-grown systems that last time I checked. Try to consolidate any of those "systems" (no matter how clunky they are) and you will be met with a tsunami of resistance. Intel has systems that are such junk they look like they were "programmed" by high school kids on a 1982 Atari computer... This situation is a good example of how decades of terrible IT management resulted in a terrible problem. GLTA.
They measure their productivity by how many meetings they attend or how many emails they send, no one is holding them accountable for anything while collecting their big fat checks for nothing!!
What you don't like being a MS Office app test zombie ? Report back to me in 24.
Ummm let's up-level this discussion
- Everyone else, besides the engineers, testers, writers, and others directly involved in creating products, should be considered support staff. Support in guiding the products and selling the products is why they were hired to begin with but somehow the tables always get turned upside down and those supporting end up being those running the show. Don’t get rid of the lifeblood of the company, for whatever reason, because it will be your downfall. (The support staff don’t know how to do the real* work.)

"You just described all of Intel."
No, you just described all of Corporate America. Filled with useless Girl Bosses and PowerPoint Princesses and Excel Executives that are just riding the coattails of the engineers and factory workers.
OP says this like it is a bad thing.

Basically, useless people Intel should had gotten rid of..
I know multiple of managers in RA side that does nothing but checking a email and join a meeting and asking others for their work. That's it, then takes weeks time off. No where to be found or they will reply to a email rarely that's it.
