I worry no more about being laid off. I don’t care that it is, to put it mildly, chaotic at work. I do my part without too much investing in it, and I just watch drama unfold. I do feel for people who are afraid for their livelihood. I just can’t do that anymore. It’s utterly pointless. Intel will not recover, most of us will lose a job, and we will have a hard time finding something else. I can’t change much about it. If I land another job - great. If I don’t - well, there are other jobs that will allow us to survive. But I will keep in mind that we live in a country where education, experience, skill and professional ethics are actually not valued at all.

Through the roof construction spending !
Thx Pat !
@mdp who is the right CEO that would take the job. The risk is too high for anyone with the skills. They have much better options than Intel with far less risk to their career.
Even IF Intel could find such a person they would need to be on the job now. The effects of the brain drain that is occurring by the poorly managed workforce reduction are yet to be felt. I say poorly managed because they should have hand picked the 15+% of slackers, dead weight, and redundant roles by hand. Instead they let the talented people chose to leave voluntarily leaving behind the vast majority of the fo-e mentioned people who should be out.
It just isn't going to happen...
Intel can recover, with the right CEO.
Pat is not it. He is more concerned with his feelings then doing what needs to be done. As an example, his whining during the webcast with DZ and CP. It was all about how he felt bad.
Naa..Intel is is good shape...a lot of talented people can make a recover. Pat can make it happen...all good
I know several managers, first, second, third, and a few PEs and the sentiment are the same. Intel is too far gone to recover. There must be a monumental shift of how we do things in order to even START the recovery process. This has NOT happened. Roadmap is complete BS without execution and as of right now the brain drain is catastrophic.
OP I like your style. Just sit there with your soft limp p-d in your hand and watch the show
SATG has some of the worst people who don't share but do things in isolation and steal credits
Thanks Pat.
Exactly - replace "Intel" with any other semiconductor company, and it will still be true.
We have people who will take answers from you and sell them as their own to management and seniors. I have the least respect for such folks.
Sad. Intel is being destroyed. In my organization, the manager told (threaten) people he will not fire them. Everyone has to flatter him.
BTW, this is TD automation. It is blindly driven by a guy Aziz who does not know anything about TD fab. Very sad. Intel is an industry joke now.
Every one keeps to themselves and just try to look good in front of managers. Kiss a-s bunch of people here
You've got Stockholm syndrome of sorts. We have all been broken in by the toxicity and malaise at Intel. Rest of the industry isn't like this on average. We're suffering what employees feel now at Boeing, IBM/Motorola in the early 2000s, Nokia in 2010s... You get the gist
You've been at intel too long.
Experience and skills are still valued.
Well said
