Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

This is the last moment of the Titanic

No company can survive 5 bad CEOs and especially in the fast moving tech field.

LBT is no messiah for Intel. He has no direct manufacturing, fab, tech experience nor has the stint at Cadence given him true insight into what a fabless does. He didn’t climb thru the trenches of Cadence thru any functional area. Those who know what it takes or make a good technology leader.

He is a capital that has been invisible inside and this shows up!!! Like a captain that doesn’t walk the ship and then screams abandon ship.

LBT talks about listening, has he had any listening sessions with his new flock?

If the vision is a Gerstner like pivot of IBM then the pivot won’t be the current course

It is true a 20K on top of 15K from last year would put Intel within 10K of TSMC plus AMD but they were culturally and structurally built totally different. Another such sudden cut will leave an incapable and decimated morale of a company.

It’s going to be a titanic last moment here.

This is like watching the Hindenburg crash into the Titanic.

Not true. I have heard that Intel is sinking Titanic from 2016. heard intel is IBM HP from 2016, intel is still here. HP and IBM are still good. It may not be able to compete with NVDA or TSM. But it is still lots of people's dream company

Everyone at Intel complains about too much work, they have no clue how the rest of the world works.

Everyone has an excuse for the FUBAR. Nobody at the bottom can push the rope and leadership can’t pivot either.

It isn’t about working hard, work smart make decisions you can defend with data and are rational, total $hit show at Intel

It’s been a long time coming but the end has arrived

Intel is dying under its heavy weight and is conflicted with all kinds of diseases. It needs to shed a lot of fat and become a fit, energetic, fast running, focused, and thriving company that it used to be. While doing so, fix its top leadership team. There is no other option.

Stop crying about it and just embrace the fact you’re going to either have to do actual work now, or you’ll have to find a new job.

Crying about morale and unions or whatever is pointless. We all know Intel is massively bloated and if you think 20k cuts is unfathomable then you haven’t been paying attention to how this company has operated for the last decade. There is far too much bloat and people who contribute literally nothing

This is exactly what I am most concerned about. Even if you survive this round of cuts, we already have incompetence, mismatch of skills and capabilities, and tons of projects falling behind or in trouble due to this. Culturally this company cannot absorb another drastic loss of personnel like this. We may all be sc--wed even if we still have a job.
