If you’ve rooted for him to lay off someone else the package is waaaay smaller

Ai is going to result in periodic layoffs as companies realize the value of various enterprise efforts to integrate AI into what previously had been human work.
This is already happening at the companies which are leading AI adoption in Tech. All the megacap tech companies are getting smaller at the same time their profits are getting larger.
Semiconductor companies have far fewer employees yet that is a major expense, so they always adjust headcount based on the economic cycle.
Now with AI they will layoff and not hire back, getting smaller over time and wildly profitable. That makes it tough to stay employed but a great stock investment.
I'm pretty sure Lip-Bu knows all about what this can mean to Intel, and that it is part of the strategy about to unfold.
Part of what is coming is that AI is rapidly becoming capable of replacing the work of those who serve the function (in a complex organization) of summarizing information to those higher up in the org structure, and disseminating information to those below their level.
AI will enable much flatter org structures, where a GM or maybe one level below that has a very large number of direct reports.
AI in that case also picks up the tasks previously performed by line managers, monitoring employee productivity and perceived value to the org.
This is already happening at various companies, which use AI to track PC use and output, plus tracking the physical movement of the employee within the facility (hanging out in the cafe all day? or otherwise not at ones workstation/cube?).
Intel has been downsizing in anticipation of AI adoption and has fairly quickly stood up a number of teams throughout the company to tackle the highest value tasks, such as forecasting.
SAP and other enterprise providers are also adding capabilities to there systems to enable upper level managers to get the data they need directly from the system.
AI is also rapidly taking over coding at many companies. Intel has a small army of software designers and they will largely be replaced by AI.
So consider that most of the current roles will be eliminated over the next few years, and a lot of the physical jobs (in the fabs, warehouses, etc) will be farmed out to contract services.
In this new work environment it is conceivable that Intel could exist as it does today with a third of the workforce.
Instead of Learn to Code, maybe now would be a good time to Learn to AI?
OP gets it, and soon others will get it.
it's coming..
The company employs some world class hackers. This is how they keep the products secure and the depth of that capability is unrivaled by others except Microsoft (but they are focused on different security issues).
Some of those hackers work in IT to keep the enterprise systems secure, and that is where the device monitoring comes from, and why you should never, ever plug a USB storage device into an Intel device.
All email is screened and all device content is recorded. It would not surprise me if they were able to hack cell signals on the premises.
Only a fool would sleep in their car in the parking lot, although that is due to how the cameras are monitored with AI, along with any inappropriate or unusual badge reading from the RFID in the badge. Both of these have been the source of many terminations over the years.
If you have been doing anything which is not policy, it is probably too late to make a difference as HR has your WWID already, so you know, go for broke!
The industry in general used to be a lot of fun and very rewarding to work in. That now seems like so long ago. It's really sad what it all turned into and what the people became.
@b0+1jpwbcshw If you have the Intel mobility app on your personal device, they are monitoring everything you do on that device.
All this is mostly to root out those who are stealing sensitive company information, and IT is better at that than most employees can imagine. IT has very capable hackers.
Just another example of how line employees lack any real understanding about how the company actually functions. This site is full of misinformation by people who don't have a clue.
@ax+1jpwbcshw The It monitoring is constant, but when the company needs to do headcount actions that data is used by HR as part of the selection process.
This is just another example of how Intel gives you all the rope needed to hang yourself.
What will happen is you get selected and they may not even tell you why. Often they will use this to terminate for cause, which save the company money on severance and unemployment (because you get neither of those in that case). In that case they will tell you the reason.
The RFID in your badge and the cameras which are all over the place are also used for these purposes. Think about that the next time you chose to sleep in your car during shift.
Or don't. It's a choice.
@ay Mularky. But an effective way to spread misinformation.
They can tie to your WWID if this site shared your MAC address with the Intel facility’s IT team, who would know the MAC addresses of devices accessing their network.
But yes, if you are posting here on your Intel machine, they got ya. If you have Intel’s software running on your phone, they got ya. It wouldn’t hold up in court, but they’ll find a way to eliminate you.
The HR screens are generally sufficient to inform the next round of happy hour, featuring CP as the guest of…honor?
@ax has proudly announced that he’s a maroon.
@ax+1jpwbcshw I used to support the IT team that does this and you are grossly underestimating the capability.
When terminated, you can come back here and provide verification of how this works.
They can link any post to a WWID if you are on the Intel network or using VPN, or using an intel device, OR have the mobility app on your device.
All those things are monitoring you all the time.
This is an anonymous message board. Anything relating to it would not hold up in court. You're also overestimating Intel executives. They are not capable of such complex operations as finding out who posted what and where and then retaliating. Dude, they can't evan run the fu-k'n company efficiently!
With your analysis…..it would impact about 5 people 😂
HR has a team that works with IT to scan a large number of websites looking for leaks of sensitive company data, and also uses that technology to identify workers who are spending all shift goofing around online.
They usually use this info to terminate select individuals but when the company needs to do a mass termination then the info is used for that purpose as well.
This (and other HR screens) is how HR helped BK come up with the people to terminate, not even consulting the managers involved.
That is coming again soon to a cube near you.
Have a nice day.
@a3 it’s just the notion of karma, the notion that if you’re sure someone in your management chain is worthless fluff you should put your name on it for the next time they get asked who is insubordinate and thus worthy of a layoff
@a2: I agree which is why I want zero layoffs going forward. Layoffs created our “every person for themselves” culture that has eaten our strategy for breakfast so far so for the sake of making the line go up I hope some CEO can discover how to foster teamwork instead.
What a d-mb post.
He only has one job as far as I'm concerned: Just make the friggin line go up, and stay up. By whatever means necessary.
