Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

Apparently, getting rid of all cubicle offices equals win-win.

  • Get to squeeze more bodies into one building by converting every floor into open floor plan. Just stick everyone onto this endless rows of tables as far as the eyes can see. This is perfect because all the site reductions and consolidation means more bodies crammed into existing buildings.

  • More floor "updates" provides natural justification for the existence of Corporate Services, most of all the piece of psychopathic cancer who sits at its very top.

Those who are fortunate or unfortunate enough to remain behind will lose all of their cube offices. Your last refuge in the swirling storm will be gone.

The kicker? One of the justifications for this floorplan change is to "attract and retain more employees", as if everyone loves an environment with maximal noise and minimal privacy.\

Well, that goes for my building anyways. I don't know if every single building will be like that but my educated guess says yes. Where else are they going to fit all the unfortunate refugees from relocations, the parking garages??

Folks:

This is old news.

Boeing did this in the 10-80 building on the Renton, Washington campus back in 1980. 10 rows of desks, all facing forward like one large classroom.

Four employess share a phone, which is on a long swival arm that can reach four desks.
