Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

Intel's manufacturing woes started with the 2016 employee reduction

Intel's manufacturing woes started with the 2016 employee reduction. It just took a while for that to become evident. The brute force tactics used by HR to make sure that they got enough people to take the buyout packages back fired and too many experienced people took the attractive retirement packages. They made it clear that packages would never be that good again, and they were right. Expecting to get the same results from cheaper RCGs by driving them hard instead of keeping good, hard working experienced people is a flawed plan. People won’t share their experience to the next generation of workers if they think it is going to cost them their job. Each new process technology gets harder to implement. Not having the lessons learned on previous technology releases just makes the job harder. Intel won’t recover the manufacturing process technology lead again, they threw it away…

I think that @Xm1msyF-1ycu made some valid conclusions in his view on this.

"Many times intel focal is done to ensure silent mediocre people stay and noisy talented people go..."

There is literally zero incentive to try to prevent the slow-motion train wrecks that our management foists on us. Being the guy who says, "That's not going to work. Try this instead." is a formula for stock level 4 and the door.

Many times intel focal is done to ensure silent mediocre people stay and noisy talented people go... many teams can be replaced by scripts!

"People won’t share their experience to the next generation of workers if they think it is going to cost them their job."
So TRUE!
Intel has lost the lead to Sansung/TSMC. Due to the toxic forced ranking system people pretend to be willing to help you but they know that they are helping their competitor and it may cost them. (not that Samsung is much better btw)

Intel is not big in the smartphone arena which is where the future is, and once somebody comes up with a disruptive change in the laptop/server....they will be done for

@XnelqeU-mof That is exactly why those that have talent and knowledge of situation have no interest in the CEO job, frightening mess the BoD got the company to

New CEO need to deal with Intel's manufacturing as it drags down the company:

  1. Close it down --- Trump will be mad

  2. Sell fabs --- who want to buy?

  3. Change culture and regeneration --- are you kidding?

Otherwise, while competitors' engineers work on 5 nm design, Intel's have to wait the manufacturing to deliver 10 nm

Removal of SA and a few of his henchmen and replacing with AK, MM, and RT ain’t enough. Most of the key people in TMG are all the same, culture will take years to change and needs a vision from the top and pushed down.

Everyone is keeping their head down and doing as they are told the only way they know how to.

TMG and the once vaunted innovation machine is like Humpty Dumpty fallen and it will take more than the boy’s current there to put it back to gather.

The physics is the same in Korea and Taiwan as are the tools, the difference is management and culture
