Remember the Paul Otellini layoff of 1000 managers?

Every Junior VP needs to be canned to dismantle their nepotist empires.
Simple fix to Intel's problems would be to simply layoff the TD yield VP and some of the managers under him all of whom have been very poor performers for many years.
2wjx be a motivator, not a hater
PSO. God rest his soul. Was the only CEO ever on our side. He funded digital home, pet projects for engineers to keep our jobs. He smiled and waived to fellow engineers in the hallway. Now there’s only bean counters.
Seriously. They are now making any mo–n who served in the military eligible to be a manager w/o education. Thanks for serving but some of you couldn't manage to clean your bedroom (jokes on us I guess).
The CEO said today that the current layoffs are 1000 non-managers hitting US. Since all the tapeouts are happening in low cost GEO’s. Other sites are expanding, while R&D is being reduced at home.
Intel HR and Board are most responsible for the talent mess that exists in the company!!
@hgt agreed 100%
Can you see a trend here with the comments going back more than a decade? This is not a new problem and most likely it is a permanent structural problem with Intel HR and Intel organizational design. Intel simply does not have what it takes to fix problems like this. Good luck.
Some people managers are not up to manager jobs, but when it is needed, they could change their job code. So you might not see them in some database.
Back in 2006, 1,000 managers worldwide was a drop in the bucket. Intel could have reached that number over at OR or AZ site easily. Today that number should be 20,000-30,000 considering how top heavy Intel has become.
I was one of them
I agree. Intel has too many layers of management, most of those don't do any technical work.
Lots of PEs and senior PEs don't do any dayday-to-day technical work.
Manager to employee ratio is probably too low compared to industry peers, IMO. But it doesn't show up headcount database probably because lots of 1st and 2nd level managers still have engineer in their job code.
