I agree with 3qne. And I will be putting more time into distributing my resume and applying for jobs outside Intel than I will working on my focal. When you can't trust the company you work for it's time to leave.

3qne, I work with Intel engineers on a daily basis. I now work for a Intel supplier and most engineers that I talk with have the same feeling as you wrote. If they can screw us over they will screw the rest of the employees when they get a chance. I don't trust Intel at all.

RCG Troll, I'm not racist. You're the one calling people names. RCG Troll post #2 "too much negative news"! Are you kidding me. Check your browser - what site are you on? As far as loyalty: when the employer's loyalty vanishes and they change the rules of terminations of my colleagues real-time... then that's where people who remain "loyal" to an unloyal employer are just being stupid. Fool me once shame on me, fool me twice... ya can't fool me twice!

B_r_n, behave yourself. You fill in the gaps and behave yourself. You are posting too much negative news on this forum about intel and it has got noticed. At least, be a little bit faithful to the company that is paying you.

Could be originally Googled. The General Mills cereal instead of goodbye was certainly a flop. But who uses the word "Bullock" in the US? I've never heard that word used in conversation before. I think our RCG is an Indian national who is frustrated because he's stuck with an Intel H1-b he can't get out of and in a languishing company being disrupted. Who to take your frustrations out on but the older people who must have let it get this bad? Sad.

Just guessing that he had to Google to figure out the British slang word for that. lol

Had to look up berk in a British online dictionary. Ok, definitely name calling. :) Keep going - we might be able to get this string down to 6th grade level!

RCG Troll showing his class again. What's with the British English words? Are you an Indian national on an H1-B RCG? Normal people would leave Intel if they hold such a strong belief as you that "anyone old is deadwood". But you seem to stick around (illogically too - because ISPs no matter how large will never significantly reduce the average age of Intel) despite your strange beliefs. Why is that? Is it because you can't leave?

It's easy to tell they're from the same person: the RCG who speaks British English like "Bullock", and calls people childish names (ie idiotic) when he runs out of intelligent things to say. (He runs out very quickly.) So let's hear it RCG - you're out of intelligent conversation so call me more names!

Self-talk helps for you huh, RCG. Ok, that's cool. Just don't listen to the voices when they tell you to do violent things, ok?

Hey RCG, chill down. The guy that uses "Troll" frequently is a retard. Don't bother replying to him.

Ah, potty mouth RCG Troll - sounds like 2ply was for you. By the way, you're talking to at least 2 people, not 1. Keep up the name calling - show us how classy you are.

Your mind is a toilet and that's why you keep thinking about toilet paper, poop, fart, etc. No wonder you are on your way out. An old bullock "genius" that keeps farting off his butts.. All filthy maggots like you should be kicked out of intel.

Hey RCG Troll - I love the random ID this site gave you (2ply). Reminds me of toilet paper. How apropos.

Thanks RCG Troll, very magnanimous of you. What a gentleman you are! I may indeed proceed with my innovation. Then again I may let Intel rot in the bureaucracy that rules it and cash out sometime in the future that suits me. After all me and my fellow employees are deadwood, right... (genius deadwood though! ;)

1wpl was going to invent the next big thing, but intel didn't allow him to proceed. Had his invention materialized, it would have changed the world - intel should be punished for preventing him from coming up with the great idea. We beg you to proceed with your great ideas Sir. If intel is not the right platform, please look out - there are tons of companies waiting for a genius like you.

1cvh, Intel didn't lay me off. But I do enjoy correcting your crazy mis-statements like the first reply on this string. Your weak attempt at trolling is pretty funny! Plus I like to watch this site - it's wise to do so given the mess Intel is in these days. Maybe one of these days I'll just stop working and take VSP for a big cash out! ;)

Can I ask a stupid question? Why is there a post about Broadcom layoffs on an Intel layoff site? And yes, it's a serious question. I'm trying to understand the coloration.

Oddly when I went to Broadcom on yahoo's finance page yesterday not one peep about layoffs was in their headline news page. Nothing today either. I found that very odd that there was no mention of it.

...and the reason there is less real work to do is #1-3 below. (And the mediocre are a strawman argument normal IRs and BEs always existed even when Intel was growing fast. This site is about layoffs.)

Very myopic view. No company has cut their way to prosperity. Cuts in employment are needed due to: 1) outright failure 2) technology change making your product obsolete 3) management hubris In Intel's case it's been a little of all of these... 1) Intel failed in small form factor 2)RISK competition is making Intel CISC obsolete 3) Intel leaders understand technical details of mfg but do not understand business (one indicator: 0 past successes in purchasing companies). Welcome to the results on failure, disruption, and poor management at Intel!
