All you Gelsinger Fan Boys may enjoy the drama on the Intel thread. It reads like a mutiny and am sure they'll be looking for Raghu soon. Hope everyone's well. Glad to not be part of the Broadcom dumpster fire

"You obviously don't know who Pat...."
What's the relevance? He led VMware to its death. Bloated , slow, political. That's his last legacy. Raghu was just there to make sure it's dead. That's why bottom feeder like Hock smelled it.
You obviously don't know who Pat is in the history in modern ICT.
Go get yourself a proper culture

Activist investor will walk in a fix it.
there are few people I’ve met in my career who have more of a mastery of strategic, technical and operational aspects of a large, complex business, than Pat.
And yet, the bottom line doesn't reflect such mastery, does it?
I also liked like Uncle Pat. I think he is a good guy and a good believer. But I invest in a company to make money, not lose it. And his job is to make money, not lose it.
PG is no good. He acquired so many junk companies and kept those people instead of let them go. Company bloated and doomed. He is J Biden of Tech industry for sure.
He has to retire now from Tech and go to his farm in Pennsylvania. Let BC buy Intel for $100 bil.
I have no doubt PG has the ability to make you feel good, and understand he has strong competency in the semi-conductor field, but give him an F in Operational Excellence based on my experience at VMW
There are few people I’ve met in my career who have more mastery of the Bible. Otherwise Pat was a total disappointment as the CEO of a software vendor. He may know the semiconductor sector, but software development revenue growth... not so much.
And, the whole preacher persona is offputting to anyone who isn't an evangelical.
I’m a former VMW employee who had an opportunity to engage somewhat regularly over the years with Pat Gelsinger, while he was a senior exec at EMC and later while he was CEO at VMware. I can tell you from direct experience, there are few people I’ve met in my career who have more of a mastery of strategic, technical and operational aspects of a large, complex business, than Pat. For those who may think Pat was a super touchy-feely leader, in some respects that’s accurate in that he is very personable and has a true sense of empathy. However, I’ve also directly experienced the sharper, more direct/abrupt side too – especially in many of the QBRs in which I participated with him. Intel is an enormous company with decades of sclerotic cultural and organizational dysfunction, a lumbering dinosaur that was headed for the scrapheap of “great American companies” (such as Motorola and others). Cast dispersion where you may, but based on what I know of Pat I am confident he is doing the best job possible to resurrect Intel, as painful as it probably is for many Intel employees.
There’a no way for them to look for Raghu, you idi-ot
So much hate against PG, Raghu, VMW. You are not part of BC anymore. Let go and enjoy your life.
