Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

As Intel still cannot complete 10 nm development, it is matter of time a big layoff will come. Better connected but not competent ones will survive.

If Intel kept its lead in manufacturing, others would have no chance to eat into PC and server market. Now, companies like Qualcomm can produce CPU like Snapdragon 8cx (by TSMC's 7 nm) to compete Intel in high end. Of course, long time friend Microsoft betrayed Intel by introducing and supporting Windows 10 on ARM. Perhaps Qualcomm engineers are working on 5 nm CPU while Intel engineers ...... wait for layoff.

We’re due — perhaps overdue — for an economic slowdown. When it comes, the quantity of new job opportunities will decrease as companies hold the line on labor costs. So those contemplating an escape from Intel may have a lot less to escape to in the future.

Ugly times nothing displeased wall street than when you can’t even meet your targets.

Global economy slow down

All tech purchases will be scrutinized from home, to work laptops to cloud servers.

You got AMD for the first time with a viable competive sever product.

Inside you now spent a few extra billion on capacity not needed with depreciation and fixed cost locked.

How to boost numbers is to go after variable cost, what is easiest and what the BoD did in the past was SET and ACT, expect Andy led BoD to do a repeat to goose their own pocket books

Milk it!

Can never trust the id--ts at the top to make a wise decision.

Only those that can't succeed anywhere else stay at Intel. Their only skill is navigating the political, nepotistic, corrupt, siloed environment that Intel has become, especially the past 5 years during the Klown's ignominious reign of terror and ignorance.

OP got it right, I’d have been a s---er like many thinking it was good and with stock where it is staying is compelling.

Now outside and talking to those that stayed versus those that were courageous or lucky to leave, life is good leaving, those staying about finding tolerable or looking, LOL, s---s to be you that ain’t courageous!

Believe it our not intel is IBM and GE like, yeah you can collect a good paycheck, hows the boss, how is your project, how is WLE, you feel empowered or that your bosses or 2nd line or VP respect and value and listen to you? If that is your legacy, others have honor, values and ambition won’t hang around.

Technology moves fast and since Andy G left the building successive CEOs and MCM have all been about power and control and missed every next thing notably mobile, and AI among many.

Was proud of the company and leaders decade ago and even my manager. Sad to say my last few years in TMG made me I emabarresed to be there.

Believe it our not even in this down year it is exciting out there ask your colleagues that left!

The correct answer always is to leave Intel. It is a charnel house with a grim future.
