Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

Who was the engineer who Aicha mentioned today in Intel mobile quarterly?

Who was the guy who introduced the major bug in 7560? sounds like he has great colleagues who all wanted him fired!

@1mys. Well said. The old Infineon team is questionable.

This whole thing was not a failure of a single engineer but can be traced back to failures by management - failures by Aicha's direct staff. So of course Aicha was right in saying that it would be silly to fire that engineer, because there is no "systemic" problem with that engineer. Everyone makes mistakes, and there should be failsafes in place to catch them early. But there is a systemic problem with the managers she put into place. And she avoided to admit that.

Yea, the managers apparently think that things get done because of them. The truth is that things get done DESPITE them.

The best part was when Aicha claimed in that cringy quiz show video that she loves driving to Cupertino. None of the people I know who worked in Cupertino EVER saw her there. None of her staff ever appeared there either. But once the project is done, they were all available to celebrate the success.

Some quotes from a recent group meeting with a higher up at IMC:

"Some colleagues cried but they finished it at the end..."

"You can complain about us and senior management, but that is how it is..."

"You can cry if you want..."

Lucky for Managers at Intel, the staff here is made up of 80% degraded gamma creatures who open their mouth up for whatever verbel dihhrea upper management spews at their direction.

Validation and verification and testing just slow things down

"Toxic fcked up environment"

Congratulations @msu you just described iCDG. Aicha has zero people skills and zero people management skills and it trickles down.

Whoever the guy was, how about testing? By this logic, if a product fails, a humble engineer is fault, but none of the bunch of waterhead managers over him? Isn't his boss supposed to be more competent than the guy, and able to double-check his work?
