Nothing beats being able to spread information about the dirt that's being blown around Intel.
I work in TD and had left HVM. Hindsight is 20:20 and I saw all this coming when my old department decided to start hiring rcgs, green badges and seeds from foreign countries to take the process.
It is true, Intel doesn't need geniuses to work on these tools. However, it does take a special individual to learn a tool and to execute process with perfect quality. The people that are being "replaced" are Not doing Intel any favors. Between the low quality replacements, loss of talent, and the man power that it takes to enable any kind of change on the floor. I would honestly be completey surprised if Intel doesn't end up like AMD. I hope I'm wrong, because I still work here and still hope Intel can be the company I once dreamed and wished to work for.
