Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

Honestly, why do you care? Why would I care what you think? Why would I feel the need to explain it to you? I’d assume you don’t even work for Intel. So perhaps you may want to consider why you are posting here?

I'm still here because Def Met is so good at their job.

I don't believe OP actually cares why anyone works at Intel.

Why are you still at Intel?

• high pay, low output expected
• baby needs a new pair of shoes
• work from home, able to run errands and play video games
• nobody else would hire me given my past annual performance reviews and PIP plan
• no high tech jobs open right now, getting ready for the recession in the second half
• so many over-lapping departments here, if something doesn't get done there are 5 other teams you can blame.

Many are likely staying because they’re on H1B visas or in the middle of the green card process, which makes transferring jobs difficult.

For all the naive foreign pu-s

The incompetence of my coworkers make me look like a hero.

It's an easy ride. Putting in maybe 20 to 25 hours a week.

The job made me lazy. Didn't even bother to dress or shower on those days where I worked at home office.

Family has a small business and WFH allowed me to help them out.

The long call is experience in the C7 bathroom is second to none.

I got nowhere else to go!

Another one

Poor accountability for bad decisions.

More negatives

Subpar quality engineers
NIH attitude
Bureaucracy layered on bureaucracy
“Can’t do that” attitude
Extremely risk averse
Extremely inefficient processes - like it takes 10 Intel engineers to change a lightbulb
Extreme resistance to change
Merit is not evenly or fairly recognized
Poor incentives (like offering the best and most experienced people to take a package and leave)

Just to name a few.

I work for the free coffee

Only liars are still staying at Intel. Why do you ask for honest OP?

I'm too lazy to look for another gig.

Because Intel full of id--ts, work with id--ts do not have stress and pressure cause id--ts take months to do a simple task which created WLB. Pay is good for high performer cause due to a lot id--ts it pull down the standard and it is super easy to be high performers.
This is the really honest why I still stay till now.

I like my team. Our management is solid. Some of the smartest people I’ve ever met. Rewarding. Pay is great.

Sorry @ah no packages this time pal

All the id--ts posting why they staying are the same people who have no prospects of getting a job outside and the same ones complaining on other posts and Circuit. Stupid bi--hes

Because my team is awesome, my manager is great and I like what I do. Could I be making more somewhere else? Yes. Do I want to leave behind what I have right now for a bit more money and the unknown of whether I'm going to be happy there? Absolutely not.

I'm a technician. Pay is 33% more than I would get anywhere else. More time off than I would get anywhere else. Live close to work. Group is well run. Coworkers are good. I perform at a high level and keep adding to skills. I'm under 10 years until retirement. You can be in a good situation at a bad company and a bad situation at a good company.

Close to retirement and hope for the package.

why are you trolling here

Because the job market is really...really bad, I am getting no responses at all to hundreds of applications.

I joined not knowing much about the industry, and before I even had time to realize my head from my a-s, my career was ruined. The ultimate golden handcuffs for as long as Big Brother deems I’m necessary.

And then…? If I make quick work of finding a plumbers’ apprenticeship, bust my a-s (without showing too much crack), and get lucky, I might able to own my own plumbing company by the ripe age of 55! FUUUCK!

I don't believe OP is being honest.

• I like my job.
• My job is fulfilling.
• I like my manager.
• I'm considered a high-performer in my organization.
• I like my WLB.
• I'm less than 10 years to retirement.
• I would take a massive pay cut for a similar job elsewhere (did my due-diligence during the last layoff cycle).
• The thought of panel interviews and jumping through hoops for a new job/paycut when I have all of the above sounds awful to me.

I'll keep doing my best until they walk me out. In the meantime, an emergency fund is already in place.

Because it’s easy. As long as I don’t worry about getting fired it’s a great place…. 32 hour work weeks, good benefits

Honestly I would be ok with a pay cut as long as they bring back free Mountain Dew….. I would happily RTO if they bring back free Mountain Dew

Baby boomer working from home.

With the ways you're getting fu---d, Intel is sure deep inside.

I am addicted to x86 and Intel inside shi t. I dunno know anything else.

Honestly I can’t find anything else that provides the same level of benefits in terms of flexible PTO, bonding leave, and health insurance

No choice now. Came because it was a prestigious place and a resume boost. But now it’s a death kiss on resume. So now stuck because as many on here now no one will hire us.

Limited job opportunities in Oregon and near retirement
