Which of the current leaders will Pat trust to Fix Intel? Will any former leaders be brought back?

Intel thought they were supreme and that the layed-off employees will not be allowed to return though they had one stock-level 4. Now the table has turned and there is a brain drain at Intel. Employees far less deserving then the ones layed-off are... — read more

ELT in BS era has about 24 VPs. Will Pat have a smaller compact leadership team? Will Pat reduce the VP overhead?

Let’s use this thread to name all the managers who have been pulling Intel down. Who were managers but not leaders. Managers who did more politics than useful work. Managers who did nepotism.

Damn. This guy has been a big failure. Intel will be in no better shape. Why the fuhk is he given this position when he couldn’t even succeed at a lower position? Intel is too desperate. And it’s not helping.

worked with Pat back in the golden days... He's a good guy, knows his stuff....lots of cleaning house to do...good luck Pat!

I blame him, and the board. Don't mean to disrespect the dead, but if he didn't set things up for BK then Gelsinger would've been here all along. At the time the talk was about Larrabee's failure but that was set up to fail in the beginning, and... — read more
