Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

ODI recommendation

Dear Intel colleagues,
I know and agree with all of you that the Open door investigation is not fair process. But everyone reaches their limit working for an incompetent, political, as----e manager (these words are not sufficient to describe him) and ODI is the only option I have left. I escalated to HR 3 times during this year and provided various facts. After each escalation, instead of correcting his behavior, my manager’s actions have gotten worse. Familiar…

The fact that this guy behaves like it is a regular day at work when acting against code of conduct or values etc.. shows those mean nothing. Remember BK, the clown, having a decade long relations with a female and taking care of her career in the process…promoting his TA to Vp, Chief diversity officer..

After each escalation, I received “sorry you are having trouble with … what can I do for you?” email from my HR partner.” What can I do?” Really do I need to spell it out for you, You are the HR enforcer of values, code etc.. you figure it out.

what do you expect from HR - fairness, equity. They do everything to please the top exec and his/her friends by letting them hire/promote their friends and family. Just look at the grade levels of hires under new executives .

Could you kindly let me know what to do, not to do during the ODI. I have a first meeting scheduled with 2 people. Is this new? Was it one case person before? Thank you.

Hey it sounds like you’ve had a hard time. I’m sorry to read that. I’ve actually had a good experience with Intel paying attention to issues I’ve reported using the anonymous reporting site here: https://secure.ethicspoint.com/domain/media/en/gui/31244/index.html
I hope you’ll give it another go and I hope you get things worked out, for you and our coworkers who may be sharing your experience. Have a great Holiday Season!

Hey buddy,
I was in the same boat. The HR is an accomplice of all the harassment that engineers get from their managers. There is no point in fighting your case with HR. Better option for you is to leave this sh---y place . There are lot of positions outside. I did the same and I am happy now. In the end peace of mind matters

@zcc

That's good advice and the course of action I took in Q2, left on my own instead of going to HR because I knew HR was a dead end. The purpose of HR is to protect the company, and your a--h-le mgr is the company. Leaving was the best decision I made, so I don't have to deal with the toxic a--h-le FLM anymore, although I wished I had dump all of my SPP/RSU shares in Q2 when it was still in the $60+ range.

To the OP, don't count on HR or ODI to do anything for you, if you can, start looking while you're getting a paycheck, then just bail once you have a new job lined up.

You are better off finding another job and quitting on your own terms.
Unless it's a se-ual harassment or gender/race discrimination issue, HR will not do anything and actually work with your manager against you.
They will punish, harass and retaliate against you come Focal/Insights time.
Just leave this cr---y company already.
