Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

The company should implement WFO (work from office)

It'll help the company shed any remaining slackers, increasing attrition to get the headcount where it should be.

Say whatever about Pat, but he fought to retain headcount in the recent CPM festivities. That's one of the reasons Lip-Bu-Tan resigned.

Aside from getting headcount down to something like 80k, and shedding some pointless product groups, WFO does help team coherence. There is no valid debate about this.

Intel needs cohesive teams more than ever, so get on with RTO and try to rebuild from this stupid pandemic era idiocy.

@an+1jh1bb2pk, why do you think I’m lying and why do you write nope repeatedly? Do you think that I can’t be awesome at my job because I WFH? Would WFO make me awesome by your standards? What makes someone good at their job and why do you think I should do my job from an office location? I’m not expecting an answer, but I hope others see this and understand that this doesn’t make sense and to let the issue go. There’s more important things to focus on

Intel doesn’t fire people for incompetence, they just move them around or promote them.

I’m not even sure what I have just read from this last person. Maybe this is one of Intel’s problems too many like this.

Intel has no criteria to judge people’s work. By talking, by grabbing others results, by forming a focus team to end of life of others projects?

It does not matter in office or home. Those dragging down the company, those incompetent people will find ways to step down others. Those working hard will get squeezed.

Intel is the Lying workplace. No moral.

I WFH and I’m awesome at my job. If I’m doing awesome, who cares where I work from? If I wasn’t doing awesome, I would be let go. Seems like folks that have issues where others do their work from don’t have any valid points. I’ve read a lot of claims about productivity loss, but they are unsubstantiated and these folks have no evidence. Please drop your poor attitude and focus on yourself. Don’t worry about what other people are doing and you’ll be better for it. Not everyone that works for Intel is needed in the office to do their job and allowing people to WFH is a massive cost savings for a company that is financially struggling.

I'm the OP, and I used WFO to distinguish the comment from the many RTO threads.

They do seem to be from some lonely fab tech or something.

MY comment is about what the company needs to do in order to go more than another year or two without more layoffs. Intel doesn't have to keep failing.

Which is the topic of this site.

K.M.A Now. And the layoff board is for Layoff news not your indoctrinated archaic ideas of the capitalist utopian work arraignment.

Never forget that Intel management and leadership (CB, PO, BK, Swan and Pat) had a running joke that trained monkeys could do all lab work and they will replace you with a machine whenever they get the chance. SO...Are you going to go into the office and put the extra mile today?

I love the WFO acronym. It’s clear it will thin the herd of those unwilling to contribute to any chance of a turn around. If you can’t muster up the social skills to Work from Office, perhaps you should resign

They absolutely should, and past experiments with disconnected and disjointed teams proves how much better it is when teams work together.

Sorry, but this is real adult life, where you have to behave like an adult if you want to play with others (and get paid).

HR is largely responsible for coddling those who want to get paid while doing the minimum required effort.

Note that virtually all the rest of Tech (and most other large companies) have ALREADY gone back to the office.

The company has no reason to put up with those who don't want to show up for work, if there ever was a reason to tolerate such losers.

They absolutely should not. I don't believe people actually want this, I'm 99% sure this recent stream of RTO content is fake/ai/impostor BS from corporate shills.
