Managers and PEs that haven't contributed anything relevant but just boss around will be gone on Friday. They are scared as hell when they see their own people being let go. They know their groups are inflated.
Useless human is like cockroach, they won't extinct no matter how many recession happen...
Some manager can't even speak English properly. Nobody knows how they got there. Oh wait, they are tools and the bigger fish "yes man".
The "good" old days of bullshitting are over. Useless Managers and PEs will be let go for a real change.
I knew a manager who would "work from home" and use software called "Ghost Mouse" to make his cursor move in an endless loop so that his IM would never show away or inactive. If people would only use their powers for good!
An entertaining but very sad thread. Good insight however into why we need to eliminate so many employees.
My personal favorite was a manager who always volunteered for ARs at meetings and then never followed up on them. He counted on the fact that most of the time it was easy to BS your way around questions and just wait for the team's focus to change (or the inevitable re-org) so your ARs become irrelevant and go away. All the while he was praised for always stepping up to volunteer. Classic stuff until he got a promo over me. Then it wasn't funny any more.
I know a manager who can talk non-stop for hours once he open his mouth, we do respect him as he will survive this ACT for sure, where intel always preferred to keep those who can talk crap for hours over those work hard for hours.
I know one manager in particular who has been in the same group for 18 years or so. Even though the group name has changed several times and the building has been redecorated around her, she still sits in the same place doing the same thing. She has no concept of technology and survives only due to friends, politics, and a protected gender. Her most common thing to say at meetings is, "I was just about to say that," when someone else puts out a good idea. She says it so much that we all look at each other before she does and we think to ourselves, "Wait for it....wait for it..." She is so good at this way of life that she was able to get promoted to grade 9 and buy a $1.2M house overlooking a lake. Good for her I guess. It really does take skill to survive that long without contributing, but it's sad when she stays and gets to help choose which of the much more productive employees get tossed to the parking lot.
There is no criteria to become a mgr at Intel other than to be a puppet. Most are useless and dependent on their lowest level subordinates to address issues to factory mgmt as they sit back in cowardly fear by not acting managerial and ding it themselves.
I hope the ISP on Friday for Managers targets the sorry A$$ managers that have received below average MFT and LFT scores and not just the ones with SSL4/5. MFT scores are a much truer indication of crappy managers that SSL allocation. SSL allocations in many instances are awarded based on popularity not productivity!!!
Anyone else feel the same about the sorry managers that in many ways are responsible for this mass layoff??!!??
Must be sent those useless people to revive the system in intel, especially PEs and managers those who don't contribute good but live/survive with politics/network-help with little or no latest knowledge required for today's product competition than talking 10-15 years old contributions/projects greatness!!
