Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

OKRs the magic serum ?

Did everyone's productivity increase by 50% by following OKRs ?
Did OKRs gave you a promotion and fat paycheck ?
Honest posts only no trolls please

IDM would make sense if TMG offered something of value. Is it more advanced technology, NOPE! Is it better scale and lower cost, NOPE!

IFS would make sense if Intel offered some competitive advantage. Is it lower cost, NOPE. Is it superior technology, NOPE. Is it more flexible and better customer service, NOPE. Is it faster TTM, NOPE. About the only thing it can offer is we are built in Hillsboro, Arizona with people and teams that know how to do it the Intel way our way or the Highway way! But forget the fact we have fabs in Ireland and Israel and most of our assembly is in the Far East, LOL

I am lost beyond x86 patent and huge captive consumer and server customer base of which AMD is eating up like crazy what Intels bright future actually is.

All the OKRs are meaningless and empty when the strategy is fundamentally flawed.

This whole ‘back to the future’ thing that Pat is doing isn’t going to work. We moved away from these things for a reason, and what I really don’t like is that those reasons are never mentioned and explained by Pat, nope, we’re just going backwards.

Intel problems are not because of IMBOs, rankings or insights. Intels problems are lack of vision and leadership.

I like OKRs, our group doesn't take them too seriously so they're nice to set some direction. My manager and I can set ones that are both improving the team's goals and my own.

I don't like the overall Intel approach to it though. I went out of my way to read the book and every update from corp seems to blatantly go against it all.

I have benefited from OKRs and setting my own goals for my growth, but I think Intel as a whole is not. It's all pomp and optics.

Look at the higher org OKRs, they're so afraid of failing. They're all safe or meaningless.

IMO reimplementing OKRs was a good idea, but 99% of people aren't bought in or misunderstand it, assuming it will change to some other system (which, to be fair, they're probably right). There's absolutely no leading by example on this.

In the end it's mostly just the same as it ever was with a different process

It’s the people and having clarity about right strategy.

When you have broken strategy who cares about OKRs.
