Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

@e1+1 Sandra just seemed like any number of other lame-o execs.

Problem is, these are all that Intel can get, and that has been true for about 10 years.

It makes it that much harder to develop meaningful strategy and then execute on that strategy.

What ends up happening is poor strategy development, which most don't believe in so they spend all their time just trying to cover themselves.

That's why they lie to each other and come up with fantastical projections which have no merit whatsoever. It is rampant at the executive level.

Best solution is to sell everything, and get down to a small core business that is manageable, which should start to attract better candidates. Sounds like that is the current Board strategy, which eventually makes Intel a foundry company and not much else.

Then try to build on that.

My $0.02: Sandra is a different breed than the rest.

I genuinely don’t believe she is remotely close to intelligent enough to be capable of malevolence on such a large scale.

@dp+1 Add Sandra to my list of loser execs.

She couldn't even get HR to work.

This is the goodness of selling off the many parts of Intel, it enables the company to shed all these professional leeches.

When it is small enough, there will be no where for them to hide, and the remaining sociopathic execs will be terminated.

Then just see what Intel can do!

Are we also paying them to take Sandra Rivera off our hands so she doesn’t find her way back in the blue-ringed walls?

She can do to Altera what she did to DCAI on someone else’s dime. Easy enough to sell FPGAs when folks are asking for it. What we KNOW BASED ON EMPIRCAL EVIDENCE is that anything innovative will completely steamroll her.

That she still runs an organization in Intel after overseeing the lack of competitiveness in a bigger BU tells you everything you need to know about this “business”.

Jim Keller thinks Intel could be worth $1 Trillion, so that suggests more upside to the stock.

Scoff all you want, a pared down Intel (potentially as just a Foundry) could do what the current messy conglomerate can not, which is to perform.

Also, a trillion isn't what it used to be.

I have to wait for more than a year to sell one INTC share at $25 that I bought for $60 last year. F-c k up !

Bloomberg reported that Silver Lake Management is in exclusive talks to acquire a majority stake in Altera, Intel’s programmable chip unit.

I joined the INTC Bagholders Club today by adding 1-share to my retirement account!

Can big ba--s be the next CEO?

As we now live in a world chock full of liars and their lies, seeing will be believing on any of this stuff. Until the ink dries I take none of it seriously; it reminds me of Foxconn's Wisconsin plans, pantomimed for political theater. I imagine someone may purchase some small piece of Intel at some point.
