It's almost two months since PG started and nothing has been cut yet. It's so great that everyone gets to keep their jobs while transforming the company back to a leadership position. Impressive!
How far have intel fallen, only will fall further
Pat’s great return to IDM 2.0 and beats his chest about 20 billion investment, must be a real man with a fab. Oops he has awoken the giant who is REALLY going to spend a HUNDRED BILLION. Pat likely can’t even get his first EUV till 2024, LOL — read more

Getting rid of top talent
Intel is not even trying to keep its top talent. Actually, they seem happy when somebody gives their notice when they find a new job. I'm yet to hear of them offering to match the new pay or some other benefits to keep them. All they see is a big... — read more
For whom is Intel still a good company?
Some here are defending Intel, as if it is still a very good company. I certainly agree that some people exaggerate, but Intel is far from the company it was when I started working here and its reputation is significantly worse - for a reason. .. — read more

Why are people returning?
I can understand people who never before worked at Intel deciding to join the company since they have no idea what's really happening here. However, seeing people who left or (even worse) were laid off return boggles my mind. I always consider people... — read more

Competitiveness
It kind of seems to me that Intel is losing its competitiveness, but I’m not quite sure it’s doing the right thing to fix it. Someone said that in that sense, PG might announce a completely new compensation structure across the company. How... — read more
Would you like to be rehired?
I have a friend who was laid off 2015 and when I relayed the rumors to him that Intel might soon want to rehire him, he just laughed. Why would anyone want to come back here is not clear to me. People have long since found much better positions. I... — read more

The idea of rewarding teams and not individuals

Why do so many folks hate Intel?
It's like it personally offended you for something. It isn't a person, it's a company. It pays you to do a job and gives you certain benefits as a bonus. Is it as good of a place to work as it was a decade ago? No, it's not. But it's certainly not as... — read more

Don't be suprised by less-than-stellar results

Intel billions in profit year after year. Why is stock always so low compared to other tech companys.
I guess Im not understanding how stocks work. I see Intel year after year 70,80 billion in profit yet the stock never goes anywhere . Alittle up then alittle down.Doesn't profit affect stock price?
