If you take on the work of the people who were laid off, you're going to make your own life much harder and validate the leadership in their attempt to cut folks but keep the workload the same. Don't do it.

This OP is unprofessional
@cm you use I don’t believe so often that I don’t believe you when you say it. Give reasons or STFU
@OP speak for your yourself. If additional responsibilities comes my way, I'll take it. My morale and spirits are much much higher than yours or the d-mb a-s management.
I don't believe OP is still employed.
And those pelvic thrusts
@ch: I’m with you on that one
@ce then why are you still here? What will actually motivate you to move on to a better job? Wait until you get laid off in the middle of the worst job market with no signs of it getting better? Find a better job while you still have this one. It isn't going to last forever.
@cd yes, that is half of the problem. The other half is entitled employees. Quiet quitters are slackers...
Continual rounds of layoffs break the connection “my hard work turns the company around”. Who cares? I won’t get to enjoy that.
@cb: I don’t wonder at all. Bad management!
(Did you not notice at all that half the critique of management in this thread is for not removing slackers?)
@bv so in your opinion management is doing things wrong. Therefore your plan is to do your job wrong. In your mind this makes things right? Do you really wonder why Intel is in the position that it is now?
It’s really hard to GAF about doing a good job at this company any longer
@bn: all quiet quitting is at Intel is a literal “Atlas Shrugged”. It is saying if management is going to hold up the success of the company on my shoulders alone and not do their part to at least try to keep the company afloat I won’t try either.
Morale still matters. If you believe you can have a long beautiful future with Intel you’ll work hard to make it happen. If you believe all you’re doing is helping LBT get a superyacht to play basketball on, those 8-5 hours could be used planning your way into a career where you’ll actually be rewarded for trying
Some of our posters seem to be claiming you don’t have to. Apparently in previous layoffs people already quiet quit and so if we just lay them off theres no slack to pick up
Don't ever complain about the company failing or getting laid off if is your point of view supports quiet quitting. You are just as culpable as the bad management for running this company into the ground. Do yourself and everyone a favor and go find a new job. You will be much happier.
Our managers are our heros! They have our best interests in mind! You should be grateful and worship your manager! They fight so many battles for you!
@ab I’m someone else. I clearly speak differently. But it doesn’t matter whether you believe that or not. It also doesn’t matter who likes my post. I’m well aware my opinion is unpopular. It’s still true though. Go walk around the cubes. You’ll find endless techs sgl and shift Eng sleeping, watching tv, doing NOTHING. Seriously go walk around and tell me I’m wrong.
And yeah techs matter… foundry is losing billions. A huge part of that is the techs (and plenty of other stakeholders holders) inability to meet MA in like 80% of modules…
You REALLY don’t believe that’s affecting data turns and process development? I understand no one wants to take accountability. That’s fine, good luck with that.
@a4 people give u negative because they know u telling the true. Intel has been hiring a lot of techs just come to collect money without doing any work, now you afraid, all lazy a$$
@a4 techs can't do a sh-t. Only the upper management has power to make and implement decisions. This is truly the leadership fault company is failing, shouldn't punish small guy weather it's an engineer or a tech.
So your point is worthless.
Time to prepare for the next layoff. Get your resume ready.
You’ll be the one gone in the next round. Leadership IS CORRECT. The job can be done with less people. For DECADES intel technicians have taken upwards of 6 hour breaks a day. Many techs literally go entire shifts never going in the fab. Those days should be over. I value my job far more than I value all these lazy entitled people.
If you’re putting in the work, this doesn’t apply to you. But the vast majority of people aren’t.
I have always done this since last year when pat gave those packages, especially after lip became CEO.
You would be a fool to do otherwise 😂, cuz you will be next getting laid off from your module when they realize you are still doing okay on your module even with low staff. Upper hr doesn't know who you are, they just know which modules can be trimmed more.
People in my team who exhibited "not mt job" attitude and refused to anything more than absolute minimum for years have already made backdoor negotiations with manager to pick up the responsibilities of the people who got laid off !
It appears that lay offs are having intended effect.
