Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

From broadcomm engineer

Fear

This is how fear works.

You fear your manager sh---canning you. Your manager fears his/her manager sh---canning them. Those managers fear getting sh---canned by the VPs. Those VPs fear getting sh---canned by the executives. Those executives fear getting sh---canned by the board of directors... Those board of directors fear the stock-holders losing confidence and ending up with a worthless company...

Ladder of fear. The only way to not fear is either not give a sh-- or just get off the ladder...

Capitalism is a system that works best. If you're saying that people worship the money that they get from (hard) work and thus put themselves on a pointless, soulless treadmill for no purpose then you should state it correctly that the "god" is money and not capitalism. Capitalism may allow for more money worship indirectly but it is a more peaceful system than the others of socialism/communism/fascism - the dictators leading these regimes have murdered tens of millions

If you worship money you're never free. Capitalism is one of many fake gods out there.

Americans are admired for their freedom, free mind. Now they also get to experience what an oppressed mind feels like. Sad to see the world goes backwards.

I spent 20 plus years doing the right thing. Many times pressed my reports but they always in the end knew the intent. I was promoted multiple times and got my first level 4 in decades and shown the door.

My manger had to make distribution as did his or they would be thought to be idiots.

The company mostly treats everyone as beast of burden. There are a few brown nosers of course and they all ride to the top crapping on everyone else. Same everywhere is my guess.

Wise words my friend. That is why I'm getting off the ladder by June 24 😉

"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself" . We need somebody like FDR to run the company.
