No layoffs needed. People are just walking away at a steady pace (which gives me some hope, since it shows the job market is not as terrible as I feared). We even recently backfilled two positions, that's how rough it's gotten (and you know the feeling too, because sometimes it seems like we have a hiring freeze given how often we ask for help and get ignored). Which, funnily enough, makes me feel safe. Go figure.

If Intel can't make the GPUs like Jaguar Shores, then turn out the lights the party is over. I hope they do make some inroads here to be relevant in the AI data center space.
Burgerville is hiring
Pretty sure this is just the effect of the use of fat-reducing dr-gs.

What team ?
I don't believe OP ever worked for Intel.
The morale is super low and micromanaging is at an extreme High. People are super paranoid about losing their job and a lot of people are quitting for different companies. Intel's management has made huge mistakes yet the punishment is the laying off good employees..
the job market is a disaster
but nice propaganda though
@ac anyone can call some GenAI LLM API's, create a LangChain App, or a RAG. It's not rocket science or novel. A high-school student can do it.
Employees with good AI skills are leaving fast as they have many options outside including 100% remote working! Intel is betting on AI without competent employees in the area. It seems Intel's only option is to offer foundry services. The product division is likely to gradually disappear in the next 3 to 5 years in my view.
