The MBA era
The Italian Mafia Era:
No, I think Intel currently is more like a high-tech version of the Italian Mafia, forcing American tech companies to pay "pizzo" protection money.
Who’s whopper of a quote is this?
“We need to make products that are so good , we don’t need a sales force?”
The current management and leadership at Intel have ZERO concept of the culture during Grove. When anyone including a validation technician could stop a major product release if it had a bug. That is the way it was during Groves time and anyone who wants to dispute me on that can fu-k off!
Nah man a little circlej--kand shanking peers at every opportunity is great culture... Come on man...
Swan was a two faced a--hole. Used to call employees “Lab Rats”.
I know it’s always unpopular and always gets downvoted but…I was there during the culture shift and Pat was a major part of the problem.
Somehow they managed to AI that entire article without mentioning BK at all.
Sure, PSO was the beginning of the end but BK rode it screaming into the ground.
It could have been saved at that point. And WTF is that quote from Swan even about?
Some of us tried: A telling event happened just after rejecting the iPhone project. An entire testing team had a walkout and went to the cafeteria for a forced meeting with management. We were tired of testing products, knowing they were not good enough and having them constantly released anyway. We talked to the product manager and he said “Just make the tests pass, I know you have tricks to do that”. He never contacted Otellini for us and said “do the job or you’re all fired”. That was the beginning of the end.
Great article. Spot on. I lived through all of that and it su-ked. We went from working on exciting products we loved to being forced to work on cr-p and reiterations full of bugs that we knew would never be good enough to sell.
