I'll just leave this here, let's see how well it ages: SMG will be completely outsourced to Accenture
Is it true that Supply Chain has been told to expect 30% headcount reduction?

Invest in Intel stock?
I’m sorry. This is a company that can’t even conduct a layoff without a delay. No thank you!
Which company has the high probability to buy Intel?
I have $1000 to invest if someone can give me a hint
Why do you still want to work for companies that lay off people?
You should work at companies that are hiring people with good salary bonus and compensation. Dig them and move on for your future career
Where is Pat?
He promised that Intel will bounce back in 2025. He has spent money like drunken sailor- no CEO have ever spent like him. Today another 20-30K people will be under state welfare because of him. He should compensate every Intel laid off employee by... — read more
Do we have a clearer idea of the numbers?
It seems to me that it’s more than 20%, as many others have pointed out. Not that it makes much difference, especially to those who will end up jobless. But still, it would be good to know.
Leadership shakup
Is this really going to make a difference? Does anybody actually believe so?

Intel 7 is our latest HVM node, while TSMC is entering HVM on 2nm. Intel Fabs are at least 1.5 generations behind. Imagine if a customer comes to us and asks us to make a chip and we give a chip that is 3.5 times bigger in dimensions than what... — read more
Andy Grove, the last real CEO of Intel left in 1998...
And two years later, Intel started to go downhill. All CEOs up to this point have been nothing but Wall Street puppets. Short term gain for long term pain. Now Intel has their own version of Sleepy Joe, Sleepy Bu. We have a CEO hiding in the... — read more
Where's Waldo?
That's a classic question! Waldo is usually hidden within highly detailed and often chaotic illustrations. He's not in a specific location in the real world; he's a fictional character created by the board of directors!!

IFS versus TSMC
Just how far in FTM? TSMC probably 110 BILLION revenue TSMC > 17 million 300mm wafers or about 50K WSW TSMC manufacturers more than 11 thousand products on 2nm, 3nm, 4nm, 5nm, 6nm, 17nm 12nm, 16nm, 20nm, 22nm, 28nm, 40nm, 65nm, 90nm, 0.13um... — read more
Is it just me or does it feel like more than 20% layoff?
I’m hearing rumors of entire orgs being gutted. SMG supposedly will be entirely outsourced to Accenture. Teams that survive are getting 20-50% HC reduction. Over 1000 impacted in FM alone. Maybe this is just the US, but does it feel like way more... — read more
I wonder what it's like
To be a manager who just went through several brutal rounds of layoffs in the drivers seat and now you discover your name is on the list. Please seek professional psychiatric help. You're gonna need it.
Various % cuts across the board... some 15/20%, others 20-30%, 50+?
I've heard some groups are 15 to 20% cuts at the lowest, 30 or 40 % cuts in other groups, also heard as much as 50% cuts or in some cases....entire orgs cut (removed). Which orgs are gone? Which % are you hearing or seeing ? Any managers getting... — read more
The cuts won’t make much difference
Except for the people who’ll lose their jobs and be pushed into an already saturated tech job market. Even for those who survive this round, more cuts are likely just around the corner. Unless, of course, there’s some brilliant, strategic plan in... — read more

Let the Lay-offs begin
IFS 20% is Far From Enough to Align to TSMC Metrics
If anyone thinks 20% is going to get IFS anywhere in-line with TSMC staffing metrics, they are truly TMG'ers... sticking their head in the sand, and using delusional metrics. The reality is that IFS needs to cut HC closer to 40%-50% to get in line... — read more
What are you doing now?
Do you know someone that left last year, either volunteer or involuntarily? What are they doing now?
After 3 years of layoffs and cost reductions
Where's the improvement and the so called "green shoots"? Seems more like a slow motion 🐌 d*ath spiral to any external observers..
SMG Layoffs and Outsourcing
What’s happening in SMG? I hear Accenture is coming in to take over Marketing and Operations? What are the targets outside of that?
Where is the strategy and execution plan with the 20% cut
I get it we are fat, get it we are slow, have to many levels and got too many people. What’s the plan when we cut another 20% everywhere, will the remaining bozos, managers, PE, SPE, VPs all of a sudden wake up and know how to work more... — read more
QPB for Q2 ?
Has anyone tried asking this question haha
Can someone explain the Def Met meme?
I feel left out whenever I see a def met comment and don't understand the joke.
SAI Getting Demolished
Big cuts to teams today. My entire org was cut. US team.
RIP LTD-M
The semiofficial word is that we're getting folded back into TD and most LTD-M ENG are getting promoted to customer. It's been fun, RA4 bros
