Ask yourself and be honest: are you doing something valuable? But be fully honest.
If you're actively contributing to the company, you're significantly less likely to be laid off and punished for ignoring the RTO.

@OP You are 100% right. People in my group that never come in the office still have their jobs. I was laid off 9/16 and came in 3 days every week. Always for 8+ hours. What a fool I was.
@f4 what is it with you indians overfixating on male or-l pleasures? Is it the only way to get promoted in Bangalore office? If so, please report to HR
No, they are right. I did do the su-ky su-ky. How do you think I got PE so fast?
@er or maybe just wasn't doing the typical "it's not my problem" dance 99% of Intel BBs are guilty of?
OP must've done the industry-standard su-ky-su-ky to reach their role...
@ed this couldn't be less close to reality, you thoughtless tw-t. I started in 2021 in grade 7, recently promoted to PE, while being de facto fully remote. You know why? Because I work and bring value.
But you can continue spending time here and on TikTok while sh-----g in the office stall. Nobody is going to care once your manager decides to boot your d-mb, useless a-s.
OP is an id--t cannot even solve a simple problem. How can he/she design CPU chips ?
@dk I agree, and in order to be able to go to a greener pasture, one has to be a good engineer.
I'm not defending blanket RTO, it's bullsh-t, but saying that you (not you personally) only care about WFH is an indicator that as an engineer this person isn't that great.
For the context, I myself found a greener pasture with 3x the total comp and received a counter-offer from Intel I decided to decline.
@dg the company is in bad shape due to bad upper management decisions and poorly executed layoffs such as the latest silent one, where top performers leave for greener pastures or mass layoffs impact good workers. It's not a random guy venting his frustration the responsible one for the state of things.
@a3 all the products coming out right now were still initiated by Pat. Do you know how long it takes to design and produce a CPU or a GPU?
@ae you don't HAVE to contribute, but in order to stay relevant in tech you need to be constantly learning and evolving. This mindset and the fact that you're still at Intel demonstrates why the company is in a such a bad shape.
And any engineer worth their salt would find a good gig pretty fast, even in this economy.
But please continue screaming about only caring about WFH, that helps everyone
Oh, you must be referring to management. Ya they don't do sh-t BUT... they somehow stay during layoffs.
Ask yourself and be honest: Why has LBT attached himself to a boat anchor like Intel?
Why should I contribute or do any valuable to this sh-t place if I am going to be laid off and dont like or dont care about RTO sh-t ? I only care about good pay and WFH. Please punish me OP because I dont care who the fu-k you are
Without single stellar product delivered in lbt tenure speaks for itself , layoff is the only strategy he has to keep balance sheet look even.. that won’t long last .. it doesn’t matter employees work or not when there are no products delivered in market , just empty deal makings here and there stock price shoorting up with rumors .. what a pathetic leadership ..
This is a silent layoff, which signals financial problems right? So even if you give 200%, you are not safe from layoffs. Also surveillance.
