Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

I was given ISP in November after 2204 exceeds and promotion. New outside manager did not see the value in our team (~30) members so and chopped the whole group. Not the first or last time Intel does Layoffs based on high level managers perception of a group.

Even if one of these rumors is half true it will be a sla-ghter of Intel employees

Nothing wrong with layoffs

GPT-4o mini is thinking

Layoffs can be a complex and sensitive topic. While they may be necessary for a company to reduce costs, restructure, or adapt to changing market conditions, they can also have significant negative impacts on employees, their families, and the broader community.
Some argue that layoffs can lead to increased efficiency and a more sustainable business model, while others highlight the emotional and financial toll on those affected. It's important for companies to handle layoffs with care, providing support and resources to help affected employees transition to new opportunities.
Ultimately, the perspective on layoffs can vary widely depending on individual circumstances and the context in which they occur. What are your thoughts on the matter?

Leaders are getting cut, I’m aware of many that received vsp, so what you guys think is not entirely true. And so far I haven’t seen any good person getting laid off , managers know that they have to deliver , there job is itself dependent on how the folks reporting to them perform so it’s in best interest of manager to retain right talent else they will themselves fail, lastly it will be difficult for manager to find a job compared to IC role which has lots of openings in market … I hope you guys understand all this dynamics …

Like the def met leaders. Some how they keep escaping such cuts

"as long as the right people are laid off..."

That will not happen if the people who are in charge now are in charge of the layoffs. They'll retain their trusted henchmen and retain their broken/flawed existence.

Intel culture is broken. Most of the execs in the company are looking inward and relying on the old approaches to solve new problems. They believe problems are solved with headcount and process.

And, Intel culture rejects the input and ideas of folks who have done things elsewhere. See all of the failed acquisitions and integrations. It is a recurring theme for Intel and it has to do with arrogance and inward looking culture. And tons of finger pointing.

Competitors can get the same amount of work done with fewer people in less time.

Intel could probably shed another 25k people with zero impact on output.

Yes, it will be difficult.

More selective layoffs to rightsize the company.

Do more with less.

RTO and hard long days of work will be needed.

Just do it.

I disagree that good people are laid off , I believe it’s vsp that is the issue where good people themselves move on after finding other job, in the past when BK did lay off , he looked at rating and did the layoff , even manager look at employee performance if they have to make decision , note no manager let good employee leave bc at the end he has to deliver which is not possible without having strong resources …

Except for the kissers until intel goes bankrupt which is sometime soon

Watching you lose your job and career down the road will be very gratifying.
