I wonder if I'm working for a sinister company. While the atmosphere is chaotic , and shuffling around to backfill skillsets. I find people behaving jovial , as if nothing has happened within the past month or that nothing will happen in the upcoming months. I'm having serious issues with this sort of human nature.
It seems like what once was a team/ unit, is now all divided and the one who throws others under the bus- conquer. It's a sad environment to be in, this is when you realize " your peers " never gave a $hit about you, they just used you when it was convenient. This is also the time that you realize your manager never gave a crap about you, even though they boldly said they're integrity was intact. Evil- Greed.
How did human nature get to be so negative in the work environment. How do you survive? When you see something so treacherous and you can't even speak up for fear of employment.
I've never witnessed such immature behavior running so rampant. Managers, where did your backbones go? HR , you're painting a really great picture of Intel a crosse the world.
I don't even want to start in on BK and Murthy: Sick Ba$tard$
Intel CEO Brian Krzanich said something startling toward the end of the company's earnings call on Tuesday.
The company had a decent quarter, beating expectations on both revenue and earnings, but it also announced that it would lay off up to 12,000 employees and take a $1.2 billion charge as it streamlines its PC business and focuses on newer areas.

So who's going to determine exactly which employees are cut?
A lot of that, apparently, will come down to what Venkatha "Murthy" Renduchintala, thinks should be cut.
About 56 minutes into the call (audio here), analyst David Wong from Wells Fargo asked Intel, "will there be any product lines or types of products that you'll be pulling out of in the future, with all the cuts that you're making?"
Krzanich replied:
Yeah, I'm sure that as we go through this and we finish the project evaluations, there will be some products that we'll exit from.... "Murthy," who we've brought into the company, is doing a complete review of all of our products, and he's going to report back to me in the near future and give me a proposal for what those look like. So we don't have any set out today, but at the end I'm sure there will be a few that will be a part of that.
Intel hired Murthy away from Qualcomm last year. Qualcomm at one point dominated chips going into smartphones, although its position has been eroded by lower cost competitors and the company's stock took a beating last year . Nonetheless, Intel has barely any presence at all in smartphones, and now it's looking to Murthy to figure out how to get better.
Ealier in April, Murthy reportedly wrote a scathing memo to Intel's top execs criticizing "a lack of product/customer focus in execution that is creating schedule and competitiveness gaps in our products."
It's not yet clear where Murthy sees the dead wood at Intel. But as details of his synopsis start to emerge, anybody who finds themselves in one of those groups should be worried.
