Are any of the values previously noted on the badge even practiced anymore? This is where the Company is failing. Pat - are you listening? Do something before it’s too late.
Job offer from competitors
At first I was very happy when I got the job offer from direct competitors. It's not easy to go to work for competitors after many years spent here though. Maybe for some it is? Intel easily gives up people to competitors and doesn't do... — read more
How is the supply chain org?
I have an interview next week in the supply chain org. What's it like in the supply chain org?
Fanatical Greedy and full of hubris is Pat
Is anyone surprised ? Can this man be trusted ? Is the BoD insane ? First they couldn’t find anyone qualified to lead the company! Then they found a guy who didn’t get the job and claimed he was happy and didn’t want the job. We later learned... — read more

Scary Future
Intel is late to respond to a demand spike that has already happened. The best thing intel can do right now is stay lean, and push hard on innovation. The United States is looking at a recession in the near future and Intel is running a very... — read more
Intel CEO earned $178.5M in 2021, more than 1,700 times average worker pay
Are there any Intel employees that would like to share their thoughts on this?
Do we need the office?
Do we need to go back in to offices? Does anyone (non-manager) want to?
It was all good when we agreed
I regret that I ever cared about this company. The one who cares cannot always be a yes man. After hearing the biggest nonsense from the manager, I couldn’t just ignore it like that. I tried to explain why I disagree, all while staying calm and... — read more
Why Foundry will fail?
More than years ago when Intel was a feared technology leader! Yes there was a time my apprentice when Intel ruled the world and was fears by all. They had a Foundry plan too. It’s failure was most spectacular and what is most funny at the time... — read more
A lot of the PIP posts are very negative
I am referring to the post below about PIP. It is not true that PIP always means that they will get rid of you and that you will lose your job. I beat PIP. It was very stressful, but I'm still here. Also, I know a person who once survived PIP and... — read more
Where does Intel still beat AMD?
Let's discuss. I hate when I see the possibility of Intel becoming less and less relevant due to wrong decisions.
Intel will never be relevant in advanced nodes
You can talk and build all them shells and you can get on your knees and blow all the ASML executives, but you don’t got any tools Pat “By 2023, TSMC is expected to have a total of 133 EUV lithography machines, while Intel has 20”
Kids right out of college are learning the wrong lessons
Too many are developing wrong habits from the get-go. Since for many this is the first job, they think this is how it's supposed to be. All they know is the Intel of today: the toxic place where hard work is rewarded with more work and brown nosing... — read more

Wow the hits keep coming, the new Mac Studio looks incredible! I am not a Mac lover, but their new products may change my mind.

So is a weekly review of Yield what is acceleration progress? Nothing could slow progress or drain resources more than a weekly review of yield. Like Pat has any clue to the complexity of yield analysis and PFA and complex process... — read more
Intel doesn't want happy employees
Intel is living off its old glory and the leadership thinks we should feel privileged to have a job here. The days of glory are long gone, someone needs to inform our leadership about that. There is no enthusiasm, motivation is low and almost no... — read more

Pat is living in a reality distortion world!
Pat is living in a reality distortion world! They will never be a big leading edge Foundry, nor ever become more than a third rate player at the leading edge. They need to completely transform their TD, Manufacturing, Design Team, dang the whole... — read more

Intel stock will cross $100 after March 30
Today lntel said that its first Arc GPUs will launch on March 30, introducing a third major player into the PC graphics arena. Great future for intel going forward. Raja’s team is going to deliver best in class GPU.
Great engineers, where are they now?
Many great engineers used to work here. Some of the best experts in their field have worked at Intel. But how many of these engineers are still here? I'm afraid very little. Unfortunately, I think that those who still remain at Intel will soon be... — read more
Fanatical or Irrational
Pat likes to call you fanatical, so you all know the definition of fanatical? “ filled with excessive and single-minded zeal” Other words used “zealous” “extremist” Is that really you or should you GTFO before you get laid off? Intel and been... — read more
CIO Quits - Aziz would have been better choice
CIO quits as another blow to Intel. Maybe next time go with the best choice based on skills and aptitude
Competing effectively
I used to be proud that I got a job here, but today I’m considering whether to try to get a job with a competitor. I would love to hear your opinion on whether Intel is moving in the right direction when it comes to competing against either Nvidia or... — read more
VCG SWE Layoff
Hearing from many people that VCG SWE is way above headcount hundreds 1xx . Recent salary raised by Pat put VCG into a tight spot budget and VCG SWE forced to reduce headcount. It's the same $$ budget but more people.
Very proud of Intel and Confident in Pat
Pat is great. The whole company is behind him like days of old. This community is sour grapes because most people have, well... been layed off. You all probably missed Alder Lake making AMD and Apple look bad. Don't worry AMD, you can still... — read more
Intel will lose it's IP to Russia
Intel still hasn't stopped it's operation in Russia and might regret it https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2022/03/09/russia-allows-patent-theft/
Apple Just Unveiled M1 Ultra, most powerful Apple silicon
https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/shopping/m1-ultra-apple-just-unveiled-its-most-powerful-chip-yet/ar-AAUNnOn We don't have much real world benchmarks and numbers yet apart from the vague charts from Apple, but it seemed to smoked Intel away.
Does Pat get it?
He is making the dam taller and taller (building more fabs) while ignoring that the foundation of the dam is crumbling.
Is Intel still operating in Russia?
Specifically, are those software teams in Moscow and Nizhniy Novgorod still part of Intel?
I'm not actively looking, but I'd be happy to leave with proper incentive
I'm not looking for a new job right now (despite its flaws, Intel still pays well), but if they offered me a chance to walk away with a decent severance package, I'd be happy to accept. I think I've come as far as I can in my career here (unless I... — read more
Layoffs is the only end game!
This was nothin more than an embarrassment for Intel and for Pat especially. A theatrical performance that was rehearsed, planned applause all of it a show only to take a message from a previous administrator and try to make their own. There will... — read more
