Many posts blame ELT for what is happening to Intel, but don't you think employees are also to blame? Many of you been kicking back for the last 3 years collecting check from Intel similar to welfare check so it can't be all PG. Can it?

To all of the people bashing the older workers I have news for you, you will get old too. Nothing you can do about it. The difference being that you are going to be leaving the people who follow you a bigger pile of sh!t than was left for you. The world is just heading in that direction. You will probably have worked hard all of your life like we did and won’t truly be responsible for the problems that will exist when you get old. The future generations will blame you. Get ready for it… this has been going since the beginning of time.
Intel works conscientious people to death while promote the slackers. It actually worked for decades while goings were good. Now you end up with a useless top and the conscientious are left.
I wonder how many of Intel people have ever talked to a paying customer. It's probably one in a thousand.
We all contributed to this mess. Can't be all Pat.
One major problem is they hired a lot of useless mfs based on woke ideology and they’re virtually impossible to get rid of without lawsuits. Then they got rid of ranking and rating a few years ago to protect the gender study quacks.
Well whatever you are doing might as well stop. It’s been a waste of time or just bad work. We su-k so something isn’t working correctly.
FU dude. I've been at Intel 11 years and still haven't run into the mythical employee who collects a fat paycheck without working. Welk, maybe one guy but he was axed during ACT-- with a fat package which was unfortunate but at least he's gone.
Pretty much everyone I know here works their as--s off. Early morning meetings, late night meetings, constant deliverables despite a continually dysfunctional environment. And now that I'm done telling you to go f-ck yourself, I've got work to do.
Describes the boomers to a tee
Clearly it's the new workforce off colleges sc--wing up and not the ELT or anybody else. They are lazy a-s, stay home, collect check and don't do sh-t.
@pij… wow that’s so clever
Yes all these boomer retirees want a pat on the back and applause and cheers for their work. A hero’s send off. You a--holes we are in the hole because of your “leadership.” You can blame ELT but you guys are the unofficial leaders and wanted to be treated as such. With respect of such. But look at where we are at. You don’t deserve such respect and you didn’t earn a hero’s send off. And the icing on top of it you guys get gushy packages to leave us all with your mess. This is bizzaro world. Go retire take you undeserved packages and shut the he-l up.
@wfi - what a whiner you are. Why don’t you leave for a company with more boomers then? When was the last time you successfully cleared a tech interview?
@hwz+1u0RxaRq Beating the horse to dead won’t improve anything when the problem is clearly the jockey. Leave out the millennial and gen z cr-p, bruh… what are you, a boomer? Time to retire and find a nursing home..l
Intel underpays their junior engineers and then management wonders why they can't find superstars. Good luck getting engineering support after 03:00 PM or on Friday... the support fall on the technicians that are stretched to the limit for the last three years
Public beatings will continue until Millenials and Gen Z layabouts learn what hard work is and general morale improves.
In defense of Intel employees. We busted our a-s for the last 10 years wondering why leadership kept making ridicules decisions. Now a big layoff and stock tanking. It rightfully makes people question why they didn’t take the kids to the park every weekend instead of putting my in the hours to get the products out. ELT let us down. So maybe we coast for awhile just like leadership did for the last 10 years.
Don't worry boomers, in a few years you will be limited to retirement homes feeding on apple sauce.
Take the enhanced retirement, enjoy the last few years before some one has to change your diapers.
@sqg… you comments show how clueless you are. It is hard for everyone starting out in their life but no one whines like the current generation. Most boomers entered the job market in the 70s and early 80s. Here some of the things we had to navigate recession, oil embargoes, inflation, jobs leaving America, high interest rates. Mortgage interest rates in 80s were literally 10% higher than they are today. We worked through it. So you can go away or stfu too. Life’s hard deal with it.
The simple fact that some on this thread don't seem to understand that there are Intel employees who can barely afford rent and car insurance shows you how out of touch they are. The world is a far worse place than when you were coming up Boomers. The wealth has shifted to your benefit and we have had enough of your entitled archaic theories on life. Please retire or at least S.T.F.U.
FO and Enjoy your morning cup of CPU chips ! 300 processing steps later !
Executives making insane salaries telling the people who can’t afford rent to work harder makes YOU the pathetic looser.
Enjoy your caviar.
Fab. Been working 12 to 13 Hr days and atleast 3 to 5 Hrs every weekend. Speak for yourself. We've been working to support CCG/DCAI (sorry to those groups for the delay, but we were ki-ling ourselves to make 5N4y work, we really need your business).... We stopped working on future projects. Even if we make this work, we have to face revenue generating challenges in 4 years... Adv packaging compared to Cowos and Amkor..... Heard they might cancel panel ODI and want to start wafer ODI.... Heard HBI is getting slammed due to the unnecessary processes added into the flow..... Bruh.
@vbb that is a stupid analogy. If you consider yourself to be a passenger on the titanic than you were a customer. The employees on that ship ie the crew were working their a$$es off to keep the ship afloat even though they didn’t make the decisions that caused the accident. Intel’s problem, at least one of them, is that employees like you think that you are passengers and are just along for the ride.
It's Management's job to manage, not the ICs. If there's an iceberg heading towards the Titanic, it is not the passengers job to get out and push the rudder, it is the captains job to turn the wheel as the captain is the only one who has access to said wheel.
Title: Intel the pl----y nerds who took down ChipZilla. An exciting look into the people involved and the atrocious lifestyles of the geeky & famous.
The world has changed Boomer. People know that corporations don't care about them and the corporate ladder is an illusion. They still work and get paid for the work they do. The no longer go overboard with overtime and weekends and, why should they? Maybe they're just no Id--ts like you were when you were young.
It’s amazing that most of the comments on this thread talk about how hard the employees work but the leadership is the only problem. Go back and read the posts on this site where people brag about how few hours they actually worked. The posts where people threaten to do as little as possible until the pay goes up. The posts about quiet quitting…. It goes on and on. You can’t have it both ways. The leadership is clearly bad but so are a lot of the employees. It was a joint effort to bring the company to this point.
No. Employees are NOT to be blamed. It’s the leadership at Intel that su-ks! I repeat, it’s the leadership at Intel that su-ks!
@ddj… what a load of sh!t. Go write the book. Who are you threatening here? M-r-n
Things could have gone better if our Ex CEOs could keep their pants on and enjoyed chasing technology as much as chasing the feeling of power. And Pat? Wrong guy too late in the game.
It is all about the leadership id--ts. The employees are just working for what they are paid for the days, weeks and years. The success or failure of a company is the responsible of the CEO or leadership team. Don’t blame on the employees. Layoffs are the result of leadership failures
I doesn't matter how hard employees work if ELT is incompetent.
Good strategic management with a solid organizational structure and culture inspires, motivates, and gets the best of from their people. These fools missed the iPhone, mobile, and AI to name a few. Furthermore, had terrible acquisitions and let our process leadership slip. Attentive managers wouldn’t allow that nor social welfare. Who really dropped the ball here? I don’t think it’s difficult to see.
As a grade 9 employee in 2015, I totally missed BK’s email asking me if he can buy Alterra. Too bad, I would have definitely asked him to not….
No. Fu-k you!
A executive, a worker are sitting at a table with 20 cookies that the worker made. The executive takes 19 cookies and warns the worker: “Your not working hard enough for more than one cookie”
