I can’t remember the last time things were this chaotic, stressful, and, frankly, this pointless. My team’s in flux, the workload’s in flux, projects are in flux. People disappear overnight, never to be seen again. Usually the ones critical to whatever “priority” project we’re pretending to work on. Our manager is not exactly a master of the craft, but no manager could effectively handle this kind of... I don’t even know what to call it. Disintegration, maybe?

And exactly where was it reported that govt was "seizing" Intel?
By all means, enlighten us.
To the poster below who called this “capitalism”, I would submit that the government seizing the means of production is called something else. Capitalism would have disposed of this mess a while ago.
Apple is the only company to pull off this style of turnaround. It took the founder, wrongly ousted returning and cleaning house. Apple was a much smaller company at the time. It had 7bn in revenue with a 1n loss. In a few years they had the Ipod, 5 more years it was the iPhone. It wasn't transistors they were making, so factor that in to the miracle that needs performed here.
Stop fu£king whining. This is capitalism.
Go find a new job snowflake and you won't be lost. If you stay at Intel you deserve what you get. The warning signs started a decade ago. Pay attention.
Well said. It’s all performative busy work intended to trickle up at enough relevance and velocity for your boss to justify your and, more importantly, their, continued existence on payroll.
Only one team is a linchpin of stability that's never in flux, and the name of that team... is Def Met.
Lord of the Flys. TRUST no one!
there is no purpose and there has been none for a year now. Pack it up
The company is done. Can you tell me the last time a once iconic company like intel has had ~40K layoffs in less than a year, have debt more than its revenue in last 5 years and with CEOs coming and going like a startup dosent even go thru and now the CEO asked to resign over conflicting interests ? There is nothing here except for hoping it does not go bankrupt and they continue to pay salaries. Anyone hoping for a turnaround is not 50 and younger. People above 50 and close to retirement are afraid to switch jobs because of being institutionalized here
