Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

Alternative to ACT

1) For old timers and/or ppl who are stagnant in their careers; move them to jobs that does not require innovation , eg manufacturing or offer them a job with pay cut

2) For small non-colocated sites. Offer them a autonomous business challenge. .. ie. Go find a viable business independently without being bounded by Intel's culture , for a year. Stay if successful. Heck.. intel offered $1m for 'smart' toothbrush inventors .. surely our intel friend at those small site could do better than toothbrush.

3) those groups targeted for efficiency measures shutdown. Let us have the benchmark against our competitors. . Allow us to study their work flow. Let us fight on last time to keep our jobs

4) boot the whinners

What your bosses meant by 'innovations' is be innovative with your foils, use colors. Be innovative to explain why you missed the line item, don't always use the same excuses. And be innovative when writing your accomplishment for focal. Please, please for Intel's sake don't touch our machines

If you honestly believe that the manufacturing teams at Intel do not do any innovating, you are truly an idiot.

It's not a company's job to sideline a lazy employee that chose not to learn, that chose not to work hard, that got old and angry and bitter. Intel owes you nothing. Either work hard or your fired. You earn more than most other company's employees, and where much is given, much is expected. When you don't take the signs from your manager that kindly asks you to shape up or ship out, you deserve to get fired. Period.

What's to keep people being walked out from coming up with these great ideas and starting the next Intel?

"There's an obvious ethical problem with that, but there's also a practical problem too. The animals getting bolts to the head are being chosen by a bureaucracy and many were actually the introvert workhorses."

Or conversely the folks who get walked out are the ones who would come up with creative ideas like the OP's that could actually motivate (and reward) teams of people to work together and do more with less.

Under the current regime such creativity (and practicality) is not only unwelcome but aggressively and condescendingly punished by those who hide their insecurity and ignorance behind a façade of arrogance and acronyms.

This layoff has extinguished any spark of such creativity for the foreseeable future from the current employee base or the ability to recruit people from outside who won't be sabotaged and undermined for the crime of having good but different ideas.

All good ideas, but the bottom line is Intel doesn't give a FXCK about you! It doesn't matter how long you have worked there or what the Intel propaganda suggested about us all being a family. The truth is Intel treats you like a farm animal. No longer needed - then put them down the line that ends with a bolt into the head.

There's an obvious ethical problem with that, but there's also a practical problem too. The animals getting bolts to the head are being chosen by a bureaucracy and many were actually the introvert workhorses. Get ready for more schedule pushes due to multiple "misses".
