I was asked by several Intel recruiters to come back, even a SVP. My wife deeply wants me to go back, why I couldn’t imagine. I think something to do with patriotism.
The companies is so FUBAR. Money, RSU, nor Title and promotions made me consider. Why might you ask?
It was always clear to me of the trend for the last decade and longer. Now it is more clear than ever that Intel has a broken strategy as it has sailed well beyond the pivot point inflection. The IDM and IFS sounds great and loved by almost all for its spirit and ideal, but in reality is false narrative as it simply is ignoring reality.
Beyond blockade or invasion of Taiwan where the whole world will go into the $hitter and Intel will have more relevance. Intel is finished as a real competitor in silicon manufacturing and all that effort and money is a distraction and false hope for the rest of Intel. Right now AMD, Nvidia, Apple, Qualcomm, dang even Microsoft, Google and AWS all are fiercely competitive and most notable many beating Intel both in TTM and product PPAC and will continue to do so for another few years. Why does reaching parity in technology three years save the company as every other competitor will for the next three years extend MS and competitive position with the current trend?
False narrative of billions of free money and empty talk that will bring back silicon leadership to hide design / porosity inefficiencies and poor execution.
These false narratives all but certain to continue to drag down the company. Should have trimmed and focused.
Ah now layoffs and for certain more in the future. Dang can’t even get layoffs right as OP mentioned is another drag on the people when the company can afford it the least. Unless of course the worst case scenario happens and the whole world does go in the $hitter and Intel is more relevant, what a FUBAR
