Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

BK supports Trump? How lovely!

Intel CEO Brian Krzanich was going to hold a Trump fundraiser but suddenly canceled it

Intel CEO Brian Krzanich's plan to show his support for Donald Trump at home got dashed, the New York Times reported Wednesday.

The report said that Krzanich was planning to hold a home fund raiser for the presumptive Republican nominee on Thursday night.

Intel told the NY Times by Tuesday that the event would include a “a full exchange of views,” only to notify a few hours later that Krzanich decided to cancel it.

It's unclear what prompted Krzanich to cancel the event. The report said that Trump is holding a rally in San Jose on Thursday instead.

Krzanich is one of the very few Silicon Valley leaders to publicly support Trump..........from business insider.

Not really buying what BK is selling...a fund-raiser at your residence is NOT the same as an 'open exchange of ideas' (without intent to endorse a candidate, as his statement internally to Intel the next day was pitched). Come on. I get that a lot of large corporations typically support aspects of Republican agendas, but in the case of Trump, you gotta draw the line as the CEO of a corporation like Intel. Trump just brings too much negative baggage with his business agenda, as I'm disappointed as an Intel employee (yes, disappointed) that the CEO would align himself with someone who so clearly espouses discrimination, sexism, and worse. You'd throw all your Muslim and Hispanic employees under the bus for Trump, BK? Shame on you. Murthy, get ready...

I'm a woman and I view Trump negatively but don't assume that means I (or others like me) would automatically flock to Hillary. Seen House of Cards? That's Bill & Hillary, people who think and act like they're above the law.

@hyv here are a couple of actual facts for you to chew on: 73% of all women have an overtly negative view Trump. Only 52% of women are progressive. Do the math.

Say whatever you want now... when Clinton reams Trump in the general election that should shut you up.

@qwu -- let me correct your post. Here's what you meant to say, if indeed you are actually a woman engineer at Intel.

"shocked..speechless..embarrassed...as a LIBTARD woman engineer in Intel"

Plenty of women support Trump. Is that so hard for you Libtards to fathom? Not all women are Feminists, Misandrists, or those that capitalize on usage of the 'gender card'.

@-lzw Are you that dense?

Here's Trump's exact quote:

Moderator Becky Quick: “You have been very critical of Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook who has wanted to increase the number of these H-1Bs.”

Trump: “I was not at all critical of him. I was not at all. In fact, frankly, he’s complaining about the fact that we’re losing some of the most talented people. They go to Harvard. They go to Yale. They go to Princeton. They come from another country, and they’re immediately sent out. I am all in favor of keeping these talented people here so they can go to work in Silicon Valley.”

Quick: “Are you in favor of H-1Bs or are you opposed to them?”

Trump: “I’m in favor of people coming into this country legally. And you know what? They can have it any way you want. You can call it visas, you can call it work permits, you can call it anything you want. … As far as the visas are concerned, if we need people, it’s fine. They have to come into this country legally. We have a country of borders. We have a country of laws. We have to obey the laws. It’s fine if they come in, but they have to come in legally.”

Oh boy, you guys are so......going to be disappointed. Let me ask you this. How is someone like Trump (who isn't tech savy) really going to know when these H1-Bs are "talented people or not"? Get tech executives who hire H1-Bs to help Trump determine that? Do you understand the catch-22 here? In for for (A) to make a good decision, (A) needs expert (B). But expert (B) has no interest in advance (A)'s agenda.... It's like Obama's administration wanting to have healthcare coverage for everyone in the U.S., not knowing how to do it, and then asking a bunch of insurance companies to draft the ACA (which is exactly what happened).... Lol.... Wake up...

@ejz "Because he'll successfully convince Trump that H1-B's have a lot of skills you don't have." Well that is the selling point that the corporate lobbyists use on these politicians who are more eager to line their own pockets than represent their constituents. However, we know its a lie. Just the fallacy that "illegal immigrants do the jobs that Americans won't do". Trump wont fall for it. Maybe that's why BK cancelled the meeting.

-bre.... Ha ha ha... I think BK is opening the dialog with Trump so he can convince Trump why we need more H1-Bs. Because he'll successfully convince Trump that H1-B's have a lot of skills you don't have. In fact, some of Trump's positions have already changed on H1-Bs. I'm going to laugh my assoff for all you voters thinking he really is going to help you and do something about the H1-Bs. NO ONE IS... Corporations own the politicians in the company. What part of that do you not understand? Everything else is just window dressing designed to get people involved in a slapfest between left and right rhetoric, such that no one is really paying attention to what they are really doing.... wake up.

Trump would likely push to lower the corporate tax rate (which would encourage corporate $ to be re-patriated to the US and invested here) and also put in policies to encourage manufacturing to return here and that jobs in America go to qualified, available Americans before they are fished out by H1B fisherman to non-American workers. It would amount to significant changes to how business is done now. BK is being smart to open the channels of communication with the likely next President so he can be on top of details of likely changes that are coming.

As clever as Trump's wall near Mexico, he can set a wall across from Qualcomm.

This is haliarious. I can't wait for the conservative, racist troll who always posts here to see this. He is constantly posting Trump for president propaganda, spewing hate and vitriol for Indian workers on h1b visas -and claiming Trump will fix the import of foreign labor. He seems to think BK is a liberal and refers to him as a libtard. Mr. Troll, how do you feel know realizing that BK is your fellow Trumptard?

This is just a clown circus now.

All of the bad decisions at Intel now make a lot of sense.
