Are the people on this page saboteurs from other companies, or do these people actually work here? For the people who work at Intel on this page, does this pessimism, racism, arrogance, etc. show up while you’re at work? While at work, please at least fake optimism, open-mindedness, and resilience...

I agree. There are many toxic companies, unfortunately intel is one of them. Intel management seems to push beyond what is expected and required - legally, ethically and based on decency. It must be the result of intel’s type A personalities. Type A–hole. Intel doesn’t have type A results driven people. Intel has arrogant a–holes, who generate fake results. ARs, laughable. They created their own stupid acronym for nonsensical work finished on-time. Bravo.
Agree @vgf+18vOLcRD. Intel politics is the most vicious and bitter politics, because the stakes are so low. With the company sinking further the stakes are lower still and the vicious bitterness is getting worse.
@1lsr+18vOLcRD since when has anything being better for any worker bee a part of Intel's modus operandi?
No, the posts are not from saboteurs. The posts are the result of what Intel has done to people over the years. I survived ACT and SET and other layoffs. On year my group's manager even said, right before Christmas, "your jobs probably won't be around much longer," causing everyone to panic right before the holidays. A company with a heart could've waited at least a couple weeks. Anyways, the problem isn't with the result (the people posting here), but with the cause (the behavior of the company to treat people like disposable cogs in a machine). Don't even get me started on the age discrimination and the ploys that Intel has used to dispose of older, more experienced employees. I've had work friends forced out ("take this offer or it might not be available when we lay off more people in the future").
Aren't we demonstrating "Truth and Transparency" as part of the Intel cultural pyramid by calling out BS's BS? #IamInHell, I mean #IAmIntel
I'm no longer at Intel but come here to check on the latest gossips given it's still the largest employer in OR and have an outsized effect on the OR economy. I agree with OP that the amount of negativity in this forum is excessive. There must be a group of 10 to 20 ex-employees that proactively monitor this forum to post as much negative info about Intel as possible. The more successful companies there are in the US, the more competition there is for talent and the better it is for employees. I hope people realize that Intel failing is not beneficial to us worker bees.
Intel is a huge company and your personal experience can vary wildly depending on your team. The group I'm part of is good, and not like what lots of people here describe. I've worked outside Intel and found other employers & teams to be far worse than Intel... YMMV of course. Keep in mind too that Intel nearly destroyed their reputation as an employer with a series of large, public, and very messy layoffs, and in doing so they made lots of justifiably bitter ex-employees, and lots of them vent here. I'm just here for the inside scoop and gossip, so I take the venting with a grain of salt.
I routinely have conversations with my kids about not acting like the other entitled intel children. Tougher to see this when you're in the cult. I hope my kids move a million miles away when they grow up and never ever look back.
This is a board for people being p-ss-d off from being laid off come to gather, so are you a r—d for not reading the URL or what?
@rin+18vOLcRD
That’s because you are one of those a holes. You don’t need to search for another one 20 years in intel. Just look at any mirror.
See it?
Assuming OP is genuine, welcome to the board HR. Of course, some of you have been monitoring this for some time, which explains the censorship throughout the years. But unless you missed the onboarding bc of Covid, you know that this is not the only place where Intel and exInhel employees vent. So instead of censoring this place or Glassdoor or other forums, take in the comments and ask yourself, what if what they say is true? You would have made a lot of money taking your paltry RSU and ESPP money (does HR even get RSUs?) and putting it into Intel competitors AMD, NVDA, TSM, AAPL. After I left Intel a few years ago, I put my paltry Intel grade 7 earnings into a FU INTC fund. I'm quite happy now. Thanks BK and BS for your ineptitude! I look forward to many more missteps from BS in his last days and the forthcoming new CEO!
@vgf+18vOLcRD : but that still doesn't quite explain all the a-holes that infest this site. I worked for Intel for 20+ years and never met any vindictive a-holes, yet they populate thelayoff like teeming herds of buffalo.
If you have to ask if they work here or not they are already doing a good job at faking it you dumb–s...
@OP+18vOLcRD, you are on this page because you will be loosing your job soon and will be a club member of TLO for life so stop the BS.
As a former employee my observation was that arrogance was rampant in every group. Add that to thousands of aggressive, assertive, entitled, type A personalities and you get not only technical competition but the fight began from parking spots, to coffee lines, to who got on the elevator first. To watch people talk over people i meetings, throw others under the bus, to back stab, lie, and walk around the hallways expecting everyone else to move out of the way was obnoxious and uncalled for. These attitudes carried over into the communities in the stores and churches and entertainment venues. And it was the same at every site i ever visited. Its like a cult mentality they must teach in new hire orientation. Funny thing is they actually think they are smarter than everyone, better than everyone, and are entitled to better treatment. I couldn't stomach it and left to a better culture. Hope that insight helps.
This company treats people like sh– when they toss 'em to the streets so why the heck should anything good to be said
LOL f u HR
