Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

Would I be the a--hole if I said I envy those who were laid off?

Is it too soon for that? Because I honestly do.

@ak Yea I have not seen this played out in practice. My team was obliterated in last October's actions (voluntary and involuntary) and every single one of them that I keep contact with has since landed a job, most at other tech companies (NVidia, Anthropic, Apple, Amazon, Ampere are a few specific examples).

Maybe it's easier for us finance folks due to fungibility of skills. Those who didn't land in tech did so intentionally to get out of the rat race. I can see it being hardest for tool owners and technicians because... where do you go outside Intel? The suppliers? Other than that, Intel on your resume is not a "blackball". Don't be silly.

@as That was a lucid, intelligent, well thought-out retort. I am impressed with your debate skills.

@ad I can confirm this. Having Intel as your last place of employment, or as the bulk of your resume, is a red flag for many tech companies right now. Non-tech companies that are hiring tech positions don't really care.

The answer is yes.

If you're cut, you have to deal with finding another job. If you're not cut, you'll have more work to do, more stress, and still no job security as there will be more cuts in a few months. There are good & bad things either way. Personally, I was cut and I'm relieved. You don't realize how much the stress of this place wears on you.

If someone was at Intel for 10+ years and laid off they probably will be OK. If someone was there for only 1-3 years, that would be tougher.

The Quitter Troll still wishes to be terminated, if only he worked for Intel in the first place.

I'd be careful about writing that into the universe.
