@cn your right a lot of lazy people hide in the company or have constantly made mistakes and are still there. The competent ones who remain are too buried in student loan debt to leave. Most managers here in AZ are taking sabbatical or are absent, the calm before the storm. I think the buyout was a DEI move. Most of the people removed were educated and/or very experienced white guys.

If u work at intel at this point u know what's coming in ur dept. If not ir not paying attention. This is not the place to ask strangers for what's coming lol.
I'll let you know next week if they actually lay off managers and workers who abuse and over exploit other workers or not.
The layoffs, if done in a smart way, are long overdue. Let's be honest, anyone who has been in a technical position at Intel should know that a lot of incompetent or lazy people manage to hide in this big corporation. If you disagree then you're probably one of them.
Too bad the last round of layoffs was done in the d-mbest way possible. They paid all the most experienced people and all the most competent people to leave. The people who were confident they could get another job took the VSP. The incompetent people survived like cockroaches.
I'm taking my sabbatical mid July. If they are going to lay me off they haven't told me that yet.
@ae is anyone doing sabbatical coverage for them? If not you are probably right about being decimated.
@ae Could be coincidence. You get sabbatical paid out with the ISP package so there's no reason to burn it before getting ki-led.
5 managers in our department at my manager level have all taken sabbatical around the same time and are OOP next week when the layoffs hit. Seems like an ominous sign for everyone - could be we see completely wiped out ORG or impact at a massive scale like 50% let go.
actually, this is the calm before the storm
@a2 I like you
Sunny and warm with a high chance of tornadoes moving in mid week.
I'm asking about the US.
