SMG leadership keeps the org in a constant state of turmoil. By design? Who knows. Just look at revenue and you can see the SMG strategy isn’t working. Intel is in a state of throwing spaghetti at the wall and nothing is sticking.
It’s been made clear that layoffs in SMG are no longer a point-in-time activity but rather an ongoing strategy to reduce headcount costs. Also, there will be jobs moving to India later this year to reduce headcount costs.
