You’ll know they’re not serious about turning the company around and just want to get rid of high cost geo workers. He-l all of FM should be let go and moved to Gdańsk.

Cuts already started in some teams as we speak.

"Job code eliminated". Suspect Racial Profiling. Worth fighting legally?

In all layoffs, the id--ts who destroyed the company are in still charge of deciding the fate of the rest. A randomized approach produces a much better outcome than a wrong one.

Why no one is reporting the correct employee count? Based on the latest Q2’2022 earnings report it should be 128.2K plus whatever was added or removed during Q3. Perhaps these layoff reports not accurate!! Just based on rumors?

Ginni turned IBM around. She can turn Intel around.

If intel’s management has even been serious about savings cost and removing inefficiencies, they would have removed TAs (technical assistants) and chief of staff positions. Anyone at VP and above level at intel qualifies to hire a TA. There are many... — read more 

I sincerely hope that this time they will not cut the best ones that every prosperous company would like to keep at any cost, to the benefit of those who only pretend to be doing something and do not add any value. Good luck everyone!

Transformations only work if all causes of problems are identified at all levels. Unfortunately, what happens is lots of blame at the bottom workers and some lower layers of management, while direction and management issues in the VP/C-suite are... — read more 

It wouldn't be the first time that news of cuts came out and then Intel let us wait for weeks to see what was going to happen. I find that unacceptable. If we have to go through another round of the waiting game our mental health will suffer for no... — read more 

How bad will it get?

I know many are worried but I and a few other people I know are looking forward to cuts and hoping we get served with walking papers. After all, severance is the only reason I'm still here. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if more than half of... — read more

It's seems 50:50 in our group. If you're under 10yrs service people seem worried, if over 15yrs people seem happy and can't wait for "the big payoff". In-betweeners don't know which they'd prefer. Either way it feels like half of the Fab population... — read more 

Useless no skill scumbags find hiding spots there. Entirely non essential gang to send useless emails and track OKRs for execs.

Those who survive this round of layoffs must be prepared to get drowned in more work, I don’t see any backfilling happening anytime soon.

Wanted to quit this month anyways. Any advice appreciated

As a consequence of the inevitable layoffs? Christie? Sandra? MJ? Others?

Has anyone received a 1:1 meeting request for a Friday end of this month? I wouldn't sweat it if I were you. It's probably nothing.

Operational staff vs. engineering staff. any job security here? Thoughts on contractors? Thoughts on engineering techs? Thoughts on operational staff redundancy? Thoughts on layers of redundant management impeding growth?

Back in 2016 those who got laid off by ACT got pretty generous severance packages and buyouts not to mention early retirement options. Are they offering anything similar this time?

All reporting in MSM regurgitate Bloomberg lead. Has there been any comment from Intel that this is going to happen? I guess not denying it could be taken as confirmation. Shame. Tough times.

Unfortunately, every time we hear about the necessary transformation of the company, we get a less and less efficient company. Remaining employees are increasingly dissatisfied and less productive. Why transformations fail?

Among all the sites in US and offshore, which sites would be the most and least impacted. I am guessing low cost centers like Bangalore may be least impacted.
