Maybe there are a few too many overpaid, arrogant, entitled people in the C-Suite? In a company that fails year over year how many senior vice presidents and executive vice presidents do we really need? This company could use a little less caviar and a little more back-to-basics.

Execution issues come from the top down. Whether it is cost savings on resources allocation or just infighting between empires, nothing is being done to best industry standards. ICs are basically the boiling frog analogy and they don't know how much more they would accomplish at a real company that supports what they do. There are too many executives collecting fat paychecks and the revenue can no longer carry that load stone and the dividend dead weight. I was hoping Pat would see this and fire a bunch of mid to top managers and fix Intel. 2 years and nothing has happened except more slippage.
The DCAI org seems accountable to nobody.
Pat can't fire some of them?
The NEX org is run by 2 Stanford professors who have little clue on the pile of sludge they manage.
What hope is there?
We need to schedule a meeting to discuss this.
Fire SR. Never understood what's exactly her role in ELT
The Intel exec page says 'Sad' is supposed to drive growth strategies...o.k. so where is the growth? What have they delivered? corporate strategy and m&a have been an absolute failure. Somebody needs to be fired.
Too many levels in the organization and excessive amount of non producers earning $200k +. Really embarrassing situation since the company has so few profitable businesses and vertical integration model that has failed. RIP drop e.
Saf was brought over for 2 reasons. First, McKinsey cred, because Intel execs post Grove always need some mgmt consulting handholding. Second, diversity exec checkbox. Who was Saf's predecessor? His old friend Aicha, who failed upwards into this manufactured C-suite position. When she left to Zoox, the median melanin exec color went to pasty white, which is a no-no for the woke government contracts and woke activist investors, who really don't matter that much in actual ownership percentage, but make a ton of noise in the media.
What's Saf doing as the C-Strategy-O? What has Saf actually contributed?
Our problem is we have too many management layer and product owners. Real engineers who do the heavy lifting hurt really bad with recent cuts. Just a matter of surviving until finding a new jobs. Our talent will may leave, and you end up with more manager with powerpoint creation skills
and too many mangers with 3 or 4 reporting to them and then managers managing 3 managers and on top of him/her 1 manager managing some of those managers. Time to clean up too many managers and c-level. All managing 4 working employees and CW.
