Engineers in F24 F34 Ireland
Can be better, just saying
Is Intel planning to reduce head counts to 50K soon?
It seems to work like a magic just a few months because we cut or ki-led 35K family heads.
Production will be on hold due to shortage of worker and layoff
Go buy Apple or AMD products for peace of mind. No money left to support products or customers
Latest Q4'25 Headcount as of October
Is anyone know what is the latest HC that Intel have now?
iGPU Nvidia IP vs in house
Is there a future for the integrated GPU IP team? Is there a plan to use Nvidia IP to replace in house iGPU IP down the line? How risky is it to be in GPU org after Nvidia partnership?
Constructive Discharge to Meet Final HC?
Constructive discharge…is this how Intel will reach the final headcount for the year? So many engineers are feeling the squeeze by ‘leaders’ who saved their jobs. Psychologically safety is definitely out the window along with ADA/DEI. Perhaps Intel... — read more
Meeting today
The sh-t people left at intel is staggering, senior manager screaming at others in a meeting today while his direct reports present. This place is a horror show, InfoSec in for an awakening with the HR complaints.
Stop working harder at Intel !
Work smarter or let the id--ts do the works. Razor focus on getting richer than the id--ts next to you working harder.
Remember how every year we were always…
Ranked in the top 5 of employers in all the major magazines? That sh-t was all over circuit…posters…guess they aren’t publishing those numbers any more. Andy is rolling in his grave. Took a little time, but I found something in two months, better... — read more
Intel Q3 earnings on deck
Wall street is projecting 1 cent earning per share, a huge turnaround from 46 cents loss last year. Hopefully we don’t disappoint and deliver to a already very low expectations. Will this be a reality check? Gut check? Or both?
What is Paranoia at Intel ?
Why does the paranoia only survive and not succeed ?
I'm finally out
Put in my two weeks notice today. Got a substantially better offer at a company that is not desperately trying to stay afloat. For others who are still there, don't give up. It tools me months before I even got my first screening interview. Probably... — read more
Intel is the greatest company (period)
And then I go on to say more, even though I said (period). First company to sub 2nm node. TSMC won't be there for years potentially as their node launching in 2026 is 2nm. Now on track with GPU's and have shown how easy it will be to catch up... — read more
Can someone from Intel post earnings this quarter ?
Let have some numbers so we can see how many more people need to be laid off this round.
Warning: You’re Being Watched!
A good friend of mine who has inside knowledge shared with me that your company is now 100% monitored. It's a contracted service, and they are to monitor everything. The threshold for flagging and reporting is at the lowest bar. The service started... — read more
No backfilling
Is this another way of quietly reducing the number of employees? We’ve had several positions sitting open for months, one since April, and nothing’s happening. All of us are taking on extra work we shouldn’t have to do just to cover for it, and at... — read more
Any truth to another round of layoffs in Oregon mid November
Has anyone else heard that rumor from Oregon about more layoffs coming in mid-November? I’m trying to figure out if there’s any truth to it. The only thing I’ve actually heard from people I work with is that some teams are merging and a few folks are... — read more

AI thoughts…
Placing engineers—especially those expected to think deeply, design complex systems, and solve nuanced problems—in a call center-style environment is typically a recipe for reduced productivity, poor morale, and suboptimal work quality. Here's a... — read more
Fake news: Intel is planning more layoffs as new chip release
Thank you for your hard work to make new chips for Intel. We don’t need you anymore since we already have new chips and you cost more just sitting around in front of the computers.
The money just came too late
Check out Pat’s commentary grants vs investment.. Oh the headline is more click bait…the meat of the interview was intel and the fed government... — read more
VP confirmed layoffs continue 2026 big changes
Had long talk with my VP. Confirmed large cuts and outsourcing 2026. Budgets close to final 2026 but churn still and earnings. I am probably safe he emphasized LBT wants radical change but feels most old timers are lost entrenched and beyond change... — read more

"When compared to Intel-based systems, it delivers up to 86x faster AI performance"… I'm imagining the engineers responsible for running the tests finely tuning the test suite for days and days so they could get that number into the press release... — read more
More layoffs are to come and will most likely continue next year. :(
I had a frank talk with my manager this morning, who is a long-time friend. Asked if I wanted a "retirement" package, as layoffs will continue until there's profit. My manager may get the cut, but will try to get me on the cut list if I want a... — read more
Just got laid off
They said they wouldn't layoff and just hope for attrition or quits, but I just got laid off. Layoffs continue even when they say they're done.
Crescent Island vs Jaguar Shores
So with Sachins comments, I am struggling to understand where these fit in the market As for rack scale Gaudi 3. Welcome to a couple years late
LBT fixed nothing about bureaucracy
Just look at the sheer volume of IT GR10s + with their report or dashboard’s broken with bad data asking some poor Engineer about their wrong data. What a waste of time. Why are these people employed? LBT fixed nothing
Panther Lake gonna save Intel soon
Best product ever made by Intel and will win market from AMD, and INTC will be up to sky! Let's just wait and see.
IT and InfoSec
Stupid enough to this India teams can do all the work. Good luck
Encouragement from someone who kept at it
After about ten months, I finally landed an offer. I sent roughly 130 applications, had about 20 recruiter chats, and survived three long final rounds before I got the coveted yes. I can’t even begin to explain how much of a burden off my chest that... — read more

Rumors: new CEO replacement soon ...
Reduce target headcount to 50K next year to get stock up to $60 again. Ki-l internal designs with 18A and 14A due to conflict of interests. Only focus 18A and 14A on external customers to prove it is really working.
