Lot of people I see coming from same family works in intel , is it nepotism or abundance of work ?

@2s...Why let facts come in the way of a good sobbing story? If whining and bi--hing were key skills, Intel will be dominating the world.
@2mn...Utter BS. Don't pull stuff out of your ignorant white a-s. I challenge you to find a single caucasian in AMD Austin office. It is all Indians with a sprinkling of Asians.
Strip away the fab worker headcount and you will see Intel is proportionally more third world than any other. Also, Intel has been importing these Indian corruptocrats from years. The infection is already terminal. Even if H1B counts tapered off, it makes no difference.
Let's throw some data at this discussion shall we?
Since all mentions of any specific ethnicity or race is just going to be censored, let's just use h1b visa stats as a stand in for the number of employees being hired from abroad (and we know that nearly 85 percent of h1b visas are mostly filled up by a specific ethnicity).

Intel ranks number 12 on this list.
There are companies above intel on this list who are doing very well ( amazon, apple, aws, google, meta etc. )with relatively the same or even lower headcount so that as a percentage of the total population working there, these companies have higher or comparable fractions of foreigners employed in USA.
So in order for the nepotism model to hold, one should see all the 11 companies above intel on this list failing miserably or at least performing extraordinarily well below average (which is simply not the case).
Now a fair question would be : is intel scrapping the bottom of the bucket with regards to foreign talents ? Potentially. But whose fault is that to begin with? Systemic/endemic corruption ? If one looks at the current Elt, we see little to no diversity whatsoever and most of intels elts throughout its historical existence has been leaning towards plain vanilla. Makes you think don't it ?
@1kxm+1mHg0zjv Also AMD and Nvidia are not full of Indian workers. Not to the extent of Intel. Not even close. Even if they have many Indians they weren't hired by rigging the interview process like the Indians at intel. THATS FOR DAMN SURE!!
Nepotism and certain other career related traits are a fixture of many oriental mentalities, some "western" ones too. The problem is not that, but that these traits turn out to be largely compatible with the Intel company culture which rather than rejecting them accepts them and lets them entrench. Intel is not the only Hi-tech company employing, say South Asians, but the nepotism problem just does not look to be as pronounced elsewhere as it is at Intel.
@grs ... you do understand AMD, NVIDIA and ARM are full of Indians too, right? May be the plight of Intel has more to do with incompetent, racist and low IQ whites. Indian and Chinese women in US are significantly smarter and higher educated than white men, let alone white women. So, give us a f$%^& break!!
Middle men builds nothing. They are care takers and slave drivers for the institutional owners.
Indians are trained as the middle men. They are successful in America because America is the land of the middle men. The food chain goes from Larry to the middle men, to the Chinese. Other than a few farmers, everyone else is redundant.
Yes. Indians and Bangladeshis do it a lot. Its common in their country. You can't land a job unless you know someone. Same in intel. I spoke to a lady in Arizona and she was bragging how her husband selected her courses at ASU and then got her inside Intel. The whole hiring process is rigged. She even bragged about how working at Intel was like a govt job, they barely work there. It was so ridiculous to hear that. This is very common in their country. They are just there for the paycheck. A job with little or no work with a steady paycheck is the ultimate Indian dream. They will hire 5 people t do one persons job, cost the company money. Look at TSMC, Nvidia, AMD. If you include all three companies, the headcount will still be lower than Intel's. Revenue is high, innovation is high and they don't get govt handouts like Intel. It is sooo ridiculous. Intel has become a joke!
Board did think of it...but then most were smart enough tovrecognize a boat anchor when they see one. Su and Jensen did not want it either.
"On that note since most large tech companies are run by Indians profitably and successfully"
Yup, we steal a lot of technology from India.
Their creativity and integrity know no bounds.
Heck maybe we will even begin to look like India and enjoy the same prosperity.
I know a lot of us are trying to get visas to go to India.
Even China is importing Indians because they are superior at physics.
On that note since most large tech companies are run by Indians profitably and successfully...should the Intel board look around? That is the only hope for Intel to recover this late in the game.

Next time this thought comes to your mind , try doing basic stats and you will get your answer. Just because two people look to be of same ethnic origin does not mean they are related or were hired because of that.
If this is our way of thinking and logic , we should not be surprised by white American men are so far behind.
