Let me pose this question... if Intel is failing so miserably at IFS and former TMG for years... how can anyone over there be considered successful or better in their performance review?!?! Is there anyone accountable over there?

If meritocracy were reinstated, it could pave the way for many talented employees to return as attrition naturally balances things out.
Good luck to the self proclaimed billion dollar builders of the Intel influentials!! So hilarious with the chest thumping bluster you now gonna who will be just fine.
It will require a DOGE like effort and since Elon is busy taking out the Left's garbage, maybe Little X can take the gig with Intel?
Oh gawd no. Meritocracy will sink my ship. Shuttle kids. Hang out with dog. Time permitting, a solid 3 hour work day
I will feel some optimism about Intel's future as soon as LBT makes moves that result in cancers such as Kaizad M being walked out the door. Also, I am all for giving an edge to diverse candidates, but BK started the process of hiring very senior unqualified people into many consequential roles because of blind push for diversity. Unfortunately that persisted beyond BK and to this day. This has been one of many missteps by Intel CEOs that has brought this company to its knees. Anyone that fits this mold of being unqualified for their role and is still around also needs to be exited.
LBT needs to set the right strategy for the company and then make sure he has qualified leadership to execute the strategy. This is one of several areas that Pat simply failed if not made the BK problem worst.
Until then, accountability and meritocracy has not been restored at Intel, period!
Intel’s culture has rotten so bad like garbage dump that no one can restore meritocracy. LBT will fail similar to previous leaders.
Meritocracy and Intel have nothing to do with each other. Have you not noticed the pile if garbage?
Fire those other guys!
Fire them now.
Using AI to replacing most of the workers who currently have a laptop and turning the rest into contract workers should do a lot for increasing meritocracy and accountability.
If some mouth breathers are still needed, they can be offshored to Malaysian or Vietnamese operation centers, which would also increase meritocracy and accountability.
Meritocracy is not a thing. It's never been anything but a buzz word to make mediocre white guys feel good about their mediocrity.
It's always been a good ole boys club where leaders take their favorite people and nothing is ever strictly based on "the best that merited this"
Gullible rubes.
50% layoff in TMG/TD/Packaging/Atom/Xeon/IFS/DCAI/NEX/NXNE+50% layoff of EVP/VP/Senior Directors/Directors/Senior Fellows/Fellows/Senior PEs/PEs ($400K+ compensation)+Close or 80% reduction of footprint of Folsom/Haifa/Kyriat Gyat/IDC/Chandler/Allentown sites
Eliminate Haifa and rebuild a real company not compromised by geopolitical skullduggery. Hire a tech savy visionary CEO not compromised by same. But frankly, it's almost certainly too late.
The problem is the people making the decision who to let go are themselves incompetent. They have zero accountability and do not care who they let go or keep. The culture and teams have gotten so bad that you wonder how certain people were even hired
for the love of gosh break up intel into parts
it will be easier for each part to clean up its own act
Great point. Not just IFS and TD, server and GPU product leadership have proven their incompetence year after year, but it’s still the same VPs and Fellows in charge. If they have no vision, can’t execute, and are outmatched by AMD and Nvidia in the past 10 years or longer, how can you believe these 30 year veterans can lead us to victory in 1-3 years?
You can’t fire the entire group , right ? There is stack based ranking and ppl in bottom are the ones that get impacted. This is the case across any other company or business unit:
