I left Intel at the end of 2024. Last week I talked to about 8 friends at Intel. These friends are high flying grade 11-14's. I was really taken back at how beaten down they were, and they have seemed to give up. They seem to believe that Intelis way... — read more 

And if layoffs have been truly performance‑based. It’s mixed, at best. Chances are we lost a lot of people we really needed.

The company will be dead very soon, as good engineers will leave due to the toxic environment and toxic managers.

When someone says “troll” what they mean is “I don’t want people to believe you but I don’t have a rational counterargument so you’re a liar”. But when you look at what “the trolls” are saying it all boils down to “Intel didn’t suddenly get competent... — read more

I sometimes feel like lbt is preparing to split the foundry, then keep downsizing products until they become buyable by some other company. Am I going crazy?
