Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

Email sent to those with current offers...

They sent out a generic email to all of those with offers and future start dates. It read:

"Intel is evolving from a PC company to one that powers the cloud and billions of smart, connected computing devices. On Tuesday, our CEO Brian Krzanich announced we will restructure Intel to increase our investments in the products and technologies that fuel our growth.

I know this may raise questions for you in regards to your current offer and future position with Intel. Please know as part of Intel’s strategy to accelerate its growth and transformation, we look to you, our new talent, to fill critical roles. We consider you a key contributor to the teams driving our strategy forward.

We look forward to seeing you at Intel soon.

Richard"

That's great and all, but who would want to join a company that can so easily lay off 12k individuals?!

More accurately: Intel is devolving from the once seemingly invincible CPU monopoly to the disrupted CPU for servers company that failed to innovate.

Evolution works best if the selection criteria is survival of the fittest. I have doubts that is the selection criteria in play

after this so-called purge is done the surviving 89% will not have Intel's back like the way they used to earlier. you will see a spike in employee attrition because those left remaining will see their turn for layoff come sooner or later. those who can will continue to leave. While this is great for Intel's future it is not so great for a future unemployed engineer. I think that employee trust and morale has taken a huge hit. It is succinctly understood that this is not the last of the layoffs and more cuts will keep coming under Murthy's leadership.

It's a culture purge. Transformation can only occur by getting rid of that which prevents it's growth. It's no longer the "Intel way". It's time for Intel to evolve its approach, methodologies, and processes to align with more industry standards. This is absolutely the best thing Intel can do for it's future. It's not easy, and I'm sure they are struggling with the horrendous hardship for the people that have made great sacrifices towards its success over the years. But it's not personal. It's a good business strategy.

In 12 months you will be an experienced hire, this will effectively make you a fair game for cuts
