I’m in NEX. Someone made the decision for me to own even more people’s work. Why would I want to stay? The morale is going to be terrible, I don’t believe in Pat or the turnaround. If I don’t get ISP I’m going to complain in every meeting until put on CAP.

Well true. By definition the North Star is always at the same latitude/longitude in the sky. NEX lost the North Star after hiring the Barefoot guys to lead NEX. They navigated NEX R&D away from established revenue-generating products based on hw accelerators to experimental software-defined networks such as vRAN. They should have hired the barefoot guys for research roles, but not to lead NEX.

The problem is not that the North Star keeps shifting. The problem that Nex management are awful navigators.
The "organization" is a complete mess.
If Intel is split into two, I see no room for NEX.
NEX is currently shipping a 200GbE IPU, but not yet a 200GbE NIC. 400GbE and 800GbE IPUs are in the works with plans to replicate these in the NIC space as well.
What happened to 200GbE? It seems that Intel's Ethernet product line is capped at 100GbE, while Mellanox has had 200GbE and 400GbE products out there for awhile with 800GbE on the horizon.
NEX is a mess. They keep redefining projects and re-org'ing. It's hunger games. Been this way even before the layoff. It keeps getting worse. The North Star keeps shifting.
