Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

Schrödinger's Intel Employee

I assume you’ve all heard of Schrödinger's Cat? Schrödinger's Intel Employee is a superposition of employed and laid off, of productive and deadwood. Ever hoping for an observer to collapse the uncertainty function, Schrödinger's Intel Employee can’t get noticed even by RTO’ing early, but forlornly hopes for the One Intel interpretation of Quantum Physics.

@d0 you are retired and of all the trillion websites this is the one you visit during morning coffee? Do some yoga or meditation or go for a walk I call BS

@ba.. you will get old too. In today's world where people live into the 80s and 90s 50 or 60 is hardly old. Prejudice like yours is part of the reason why the US has such a difficult time getting enough qualified workers. There is a wealth of talent and experience in the old farts, as you put it, that goes untapped. Retiring at 65 is stupid for most people if you are going to live until your late 80s. Yes, I am an old fa-t but luckily I bought land when I retired and I have plenty to do but miss the tech challenge. I visit this in the morning sometimes while having coffee so I don't miss working as much. BTW, I still take classes in programming and AI to stay relevant tech. I doubt you do that and your early in your career.

My manager and his manager are a bunch of id--ts pretending to know anything technical. Both 50+ old farts

Deadweight will continue to exist here after the layoffs. The people making the decisions are deadweight you think they going to lay off themselves or their friends?

@a4: that's really trippy, the idea of a physics where in one frame of reference the cat is well and decided but in another frame the cat is still in superposition.

Sadly I am not so up to speed on physics. I hope you're idea is the universe we actually live in. It just seems more fun.

I suppose I have missed something. I have presumed that if you pass this next layoff that you can't be deadwood. But yet, we've had so far already and presumable deadwood remains; clearly being kept is no sign of being actually productive......

I don’t believe @a2 knows how to believe in things that contribute to an Intel turnaround
