Over 200 people gone from SF campus that were in Wrist-worn.
Recon in Vancouver is wiped clean with layoffs.
NDG is being wiped out almost in totality.
More layoffs in Oregon to happen
layoffs in israel to commence.
This is only part of the upcoming news.
BK will be gone soon and then the remaining employees have a chance to save the company if they can work together.
@1nzy those people will stay
Excellent news, NDG is run by a bunch of arrogant people who always felt special because they were working on one of BKs hobbies
Yep, just heard of a management visit to Germany that was scheduled on very short notice. I think we all know what that means.
So many good long-time leaders lost in BK's Game of Thrones but Aicha and Walden still there?
The crazy part is that there are still open positions for wearables in Germany (though they are officially "IOT" positions), and now there are are rumors that this will affect Germany as well, while the positions are still open. Complete chaos!!
What is left of NDG?
I feel bad for small innovative companies that get bought by Intel. They work hard, give birth to a new product, and then watch in horror as their baby gets strangled to death.
Holy crap! Only heard rumors! Didnt realizr it was this bad. What the hell are you doing BK?
I did hear today of at least one NTG person who was told to start looking internally ASAP - no vsp or isp offer, just your job is going away. Plus there have been an unusual pattern of meetings. Probably nothing....
preaching to the choir @1jbq , trolls excluded.
wearable exit is a lot like the settop box one. I hope Walden still has his name attached
I still can't believe the employees trust this dumbshit, BK!
LOL a lot of groups are going to go as x86 collapse and Samsung and TSMC beat Intel to 10nm!
Wow..I read the article, and yea..this is big news. BK, when will you step down??
Well that sure didn't last very long, did it? eyeroll
all you doubting dumb mofos still think Intel is the leader in wearables?
Look like its confirmed.

Still no source...consider it more BS from the resident troll.
Basis watches are going for a fire sale....wait a minute my smoke detector is going off.
Good. They get what they deserve. BK is not a businessman.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Intel is a leader in wearable HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!
Hadn't had a good hearty laugh in ages!
What I mean is: does anyone else have any more details? I can only provide so much on this side.
Heard about this. Hope everyone there is dealing with this ok, any other details?
@gns - Intel a leader in wearable? wow..what have you been smoking. Intel is NOT a leader, in fact wearables, IOT Intel is seen as the bottom tier player. Sorry..Intel missed the boat and cannot catch up.
Your leaders in wearbles are:
Apple
Fitbit
As far as pure market share -
Intel - no where to be seen.
