Yes, things aren’t great right now, but there have been some changes that could improve things if we give them some time. Honestly, sometimes it feels like people want to see Intel fail. Why? It would actually work in my favor if the company improved as my situation would improve along with it. What do I gain if it fails?

My managers and team leads are backstabbers who climb the ladder by working overtime for free and forcing other people to not do their job and make others look bad. This is a recipe for failure that I did not create or have any influence over.
This site is filled with victimizers - and unfortunately many racists. I used to come here (as someone who just took VSP) to keep up on the gossip but I kinda can’t stand the racism and H1B blame? Are foreigners not folks just looking for a job like anyone else? If it was white Americans in Europe or Asia would you feel the same way or would you defend their right to work and the pursuit of happiness?
@1fip should be stated every day on this site.
'Most posters on this forum are NOT current intel employees and most want Intel to fail (and fail hard) - ignore them - no need to visit this site.'
The company has issues but ANYONE stating that it is doomed in any sense is being ridiculous, and not worth reading.
There is negativity because the wake-up slap in August still stings, especially after getting pay restored, and told we had hit bottom. Then the stock tanks because of poor handling, and those who worked through all those years and kept INTC, lose half their value.
Stayed in my own lane and did my job and I trusted those in positions higher than mine were also doing their job.
Then you dig into the numbers and realize if you ran your family or small business budget like this, you'd be out in the street.
Convince me there is a way forward? I'm still looking at these posts for some reasoning but not finding it yet.
If we aren't employees or recent employees, why is there so much interest in the RSU thank you thread?
Are you simple boy? Most people on here are Intel employees. Why would non employees come to some random site? This is the type of logic that has sunk us. “Everything is fine everything is great ignore the bad news and data” . You are part of the bigger problem at Intel. Can’t see the truth right if it was sitting on your nose

Giants fall and giants standup - this happens all the time in business. Don't cry over the spilt mike, look ahead. This website is full of all kinds of negativities, criticism and abuse.
There is no room left for being naive. To survive, it is more important to face the negativity and make positive things happen little by little.
turn the frown upside down
"It would actually work in my favor if the company improved as my situation would improve along with it. What do I gain if it fails?"
In a time of unprecedented bo-m in the global semiconductor industry - you are willing to gamble yours and your families' futures on a notoriously incompetent Intel ELT to get it right, this one last time being different than any other over the past 20 years?? Especially when you admit that they have only made "some changes" when a massive revolution is needed to even contemplate turning things around. smh..
It took you 22 years to make grade 57?
From an industry insider: Just like the playground bully needs to get his a-s kicked, Intel deserves to fail.
intel tries to get by paying bare minimum wages - way below industry standard to the ground level employee, engineers, techs etc are very poorly compensated for the work and hours we put in. It also strives and prides itself in having the least amount of employees in essential jobs. In my direct module we need a minimum of 4, we had 3, 1 resigned, 1 got cpm now im on my own and expected to keep productivity the same!! its laughable how out of touch senior management are with employees. Then quality issues arise or ppl go long term medical leave and intel wonders why!! i was top of my game for 22 years, grade 57, and now truthfully i dont care about intel anymore and for these reasons yes i hope it fails, it will be an actual teachable point to managers
Intel stock is expensive - not cheap.
You’ll see.
Reality has a habit of waking up the delusional.
this site is full of doom posters
they are merely cheering the cheap price of the stock and have nothing to do with intel
haters gonna hate
My dude. Intel will fail and for good reason. It will then become the example of how Nepotism, DEI, calling MBAs “engineers” and kingdom building destroyed a great American company.
The result will be positive so other companies learn not to follow their example as Intel becomes a Harvard Business Case study.
