Be happy with Sri Sri
While Intel is firing people by the 1,000's and pushing 1,000's more to retire or quit, Intel has spent over $30k to send people to www.theartifliving.org
Treading water
Seems to me that EVERYONE is just treading water in this co. Either waiting for the lights to go back on, or to be switched off finally. BK and crew have failed hugely.
When Intel starts offering > $200k for a senior engineer I'll know they are interested in top performers
Intel you can't have your cake and eat it. You either have to up your game on stock and bonuses or stick with your diversity hiring.
And Intel really thinks it can do low power IOT
Basis watch use experience blistering on their wrists and melting of their charging cradles. Is this a joke!

Renée James: Think of All Things I Could Build, Which I Did... Then I get to lay all those people off
https://streamable.com/8yak
I think VPG in FM is going to get nailed tomorrow.
My expectation is that BK wants to say that ACT is concluded at his meeting in the afternoon so they will finish the cuts before that. Could be wrong. Could be right
Where is Renée James now?
I can't imagine in the corporate world there are many seats on many company boards big enough to retain a woman of her stature. With a presence as big as her surely she is running one of the world's top companies by now. Anything less for one of the... — read more

Open forum pool
What are the odds BK will announce resignation on Wednesday? Will he say virtuous cycle? No betting on getting any meaningful answers to AVA questions. If they cared about really getting questions they would have made that tool anonymous.

In this kind of situation - company is threatening employees, why don't all the employees just go on strike?
