We all know there are plenty of people at Intel we could lose without anyone even noticing. People who got here and survived every layoff through nepotism or cronyism, managers with barely any direct reports who hardly do anything, and those who contribute nothing beyond a new PowerPoint every month. Do you think there's even the slightest chance they're the ones getting cut? Or is it just going to be the same old story, where the hardest workers are shown the door because they're the ones who earn more?

Real fat is called executives and BoD. Nope. Can't trim the real fat.
Funny, now that you mention it. No The "FAT" you speak of IS the executive branch and the board. They alone get paid the big bucks to "Make Decisions" and we see how great they are at their jobs. (company on the brink of desaster) These same wonderful people who are now making all of the decisions related to the "Work Force" adjustments and the future of the company. (because they muffed it the last 20 years) You see the problem here right?
Just like milk, the fat sits on top. They all make more money than anyone deserves for doing absolutly nothing. They are not going anywhere. Layoffs are only for the working class. Capitalism will eat itself in the end and the money pigs will need to invent a way to eat money.
We will know it the toilet is continuing to flush down the drain based on how these layoffs work.
Honestly, Lip needs to get rid of VPs and first line managers before they start. Best way to eliminate favoritism towards certain groups and ICs.
Next they need to take a hard line on anything at G9 and above. If you’re an IC and a G9 or above…. You better be specialized in something technical that cannot be replaced. For example, chief of staffs need to be hit hard.
I’m for sure a worthless piece of $hit. No idea how I still have a job, because I’m not employable by anyone else either, apparently. Yay graduate degrees.
The reality is that almost no one is "safe"... and almost everyone is replaceable. Unless you are a patent holder, your job can be replaced. There is so much fat, that they can fire 50% of the people and the ship will keep on sailing.

When it comes to losing body fat, it's a combination of a healthy diet, regular exercise, and patience. The concept of "real fat" isn't a specific medical term, but I assume you're referring to visceral fat or stubborn fat that can be challenging to lose.
Visceral fat is the fat that accumulates around your organs, and it's linked to various health issues. To lose visceral fat, focus on:
Eating a balanced diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein sources
Incorporating regular aerobic exercise, such as cardio, and strength training to build muscle mass
Getting enough sleep and managing stress levels
Limiting your intake of processed foods, sugary drinks, and saturated fats
It's also important to note that spot reduction of fat is not possible, meaning you can't target a specific area of your body to lose fat. Instead, focus on overall weight loss and fat reduction through a combination of healthy habits.
Remember, losing weight and fat too quickly is not healthy, so aim for a sustainable and gradual approach. Consult with a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian to create a personalized plan that suits your needs and goals.

If by "real fat" you mean body fat, it is indeed possible to reduce body fat through a combination of healthy eating, regular physical activity, and lifestyle changes. Here are some general strategies:
Balanced Diet: Focus on a diet rich in whole foods, including fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats. Reducing processed foods and added sugars can also help.
Regular Exercise: Incorporate both aerobic exercises (like walking, running, or cycling) and strength training (like weight lifting or bodyweight exercises) into your routine. This helps burn calories and build muscle, which can increase metabolism.
Hydration: Drinking plenty of water can help with weight management and overall health.
Sleep: Ensure you get enough quality sleep, as poor sleep can affect hormones that regulate hunger and appetite.
Stress Management: High stress can lead to emotional eating and weight gain, so finding ways to manage stress, such as through mindfulness or relaxation techniques, can be beneficial.
Consistency: Sustainable changes over time are more effective than quick fixes.
It's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian before making significant changes to your diet or exercise routine, especially if you have underlying health conditions.

The real fat is in the Fab technicians.
Some look like they have to be rolled into the fab like something out of Wi--y Wonka.
I think it is possible to get rid of some of that fat, just stop it already with the carbs.
Sugar and soda are not food, ok?
I don't give a damnn about your religion or politics, keep them out of the workplace and do your fuccking job!
By that, do you mean all the religious zealots who believe some sky fairy is gonna save them, and - if they’re really lucky - maybe even deliver for their eternal enjoyment several dozen virgins (now THAT’S holey!)? Because I, too, can’t work with such nincomp00ps.
