I get so frustrated when I hear LBT say that one of his goals is to attract and retain top technical talent. At the same time, he runs on a hiring spree for his old friends for the top buck EVP positions, people who make no impact or difference... — read more 

If one wants to get laidd off with a separation package and get out of Intel, what is the best approach in messaging with manager or HR to achieve success?

Which BU:'s in Oregon had any firings of at all?

You all probably have been experienced 30K headcount cut off the last two years so far. According the law of physic ( not Moore law ) when things are going down they will accelerate down fall faster than previous fall until hitting the bottom. AI has... — read more 

No one was expecting the Amazon layoff. It gets reported by Reuters on Monday. On Tuesday Amazon completes the layoff of 14K employees. It is over and done. The workforce can move on. Way better than the Intel method of announcing the layoffs before... — read more

You are getting super rich just a few months doing sh-t to just manipulate the stock prices. Just let them free from hard forced labors with constant layoff threats

This site has really become heavy handed with the deletion of non-offensive posts and comments. What are they trying to cover up? Free speech really is on its way out. I fully expect this post to be quickly deleted even though it doesn't violate any... — read more

Can be better, just saying

It seems to work like a magic just a few months because we cut or ki-led 35K family heads.

Go buy Apple or AMD products for peace of mind. No money left to support products or customers

Is anyone know what is the latest HC that Intel have now?

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…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 

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.

Work smarter or let the id--ts do the works. Razor focus on getting richer than the id--ts next to you working harder.

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 

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?

Why does the paranoia only survive and not succeed ?

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 

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 

Let have some numbers so we can see how many more people need to be laid off this round.

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 

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 

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

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 

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.

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.

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

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
