Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

Hey OP, I have seen this post for a while and one thing has bothered be ... You posted "LONNNNNG time". How exactly do you pronounce a long consonant sound? I can understand running a vowel for 4 or 5 characters but 5 Ns is just N.

Typical arrogant Intel babies.

@r4 how’s the country doing now, inbred? 🤣

just for the record people in fab can start with college degrees lol

Nice knowing ya. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

some of us did not have to work in the fab prior to our nice job because we went to college and got our degree.

Perfect example of the woke and elitist ideology that has ruined Intel and the country.

@kb this is exactly what they were hoping would happen. Employees begging to be fired for cause. No severance, no unemployment, no benefits... out the door immediately.

It’s going to be a cake walk cutting 10k with so much non compliance. It’s turning into TSMC and they enslave their own. You’ll see only when it’s too late.

By all means - keep on "protesting". Make inflammatory comments on circuit. Dig your heels in the sand. Dooo eeeet.

It only makes managements life easier - violate company policy and you will be exited without a package. Easy peasy with a pre-populated list with justification to go along with.

Oh, and you can likely kiss unemployment away as it will probably be for cause.

After the dirty dozen is fired I hope AMD or Nvidia hires your lazy a$$. That will be a win win for Intel.

@fp
Well we know that coding jobs are down 30-40% in the last 2 yrs alone. AI is gobbling up your jobs at an accelerated rate, but until I see robots that can perform highly precise mechanical adjustments and repairs and flex and crawl/squeeze into tight places, as techs we still have time. If I were you coders I would be brushing up on my PLC coding and knowledge of RTS systems like LINUX and others. At the end of the day my skill/accuracy with tools may outlive your in/out coding.

@fj
So, you are basically calling fab workers trained monkeys? How elitist.

@f9 some of us did not have to work in the fab prior to our nice job because we went to college and got our degree. Believe it or not, that does make a huge difference, and I'm thankful for having taken that path instead.

There are so many little POS’s on circuit crying and whining, and we wonder why the company is garbage. Should require all of these cowards to work in the fab before getting their easy ppt job.

@cd Sounds like a fun guy to hang out with, huh?

"We write the code, MFer. We know the inner workings of the tangle of databases, data flows, who to go to to remove blockers."

Sounds like a perfect job for AI!

@Op sounds like you jumped up your own ar-e,

Hey Armando ( Intel Austin ) - you f-cking DEI little incompentent piece of living sh*t ! You f-cking little useless coward ! Looking forward to seeing you out on the street soon - you fat bloated filthy DEI coward !

Gotta say, never in my career have I seen so many people sign up for career su----e. Apparently no one thinks about the future - tech really isn't that big and you are bound to run into ex-Intel people elsewhere and most have good memories.

Why would anyone want to hire, let alone work with, such an entitled spoiled brat.
We'll see if I can beat my previous record of downvotes for speaking the truth.

@OP and team wrote ALL the code and hence the quality of products and bankruptcy. find this guy and team and shoot them

I saw that!

As a senior manager at Intel my only response:

You. Are. FIRED!

It feels so awesome to do that to someone.

Stupid idea.

@ad it isn't about boot licking it is about understanding what is going on and knowing when to stand up and when to shut up. You clearly don't have the experience to understand what is going on. No matter how much you might think your job at Intel su-cks, and it probably does, it is far better than no job. If you don't think that you could be on the brink of no job than you should do some self reflect and get a clue. You have to know people who have been getting laid off. Reach out to some of them and ask how it is going. The vast majority are not finding jobs and the job market is getting worse.

@ac since you aren't bright enough to do a simple search I will do it for you.

hissy fit /hĭs′ē/
noun

A childish display of anger or frustration; an overly dramatic tantrum. 

You clearly aren't mature enough to understand the employer/employee relationship. If you don't like what they mandate as policy go work someplace else. Simple. I hope you and your protesting teammates all get fired for cause and get no severance. You clearly can't comprehend your place in society so maybe some poverty and hunger will give you the enlightenment that you need.

The OP is a real bozo. With the current super poor state of the jobs market, now is NOT the time to protest something foolish like RTO. If you get canned over your little “protest”, plan on a very rough ride trying to land another job.

What a stupid post by a low ranking employee (if they really work here). I bet this is the same person who is constantly behind on all deliverables, asks 100s of the same questions and has barely made their way thru their mediocre career. Do us all a favor and leave. Take your genius team with you as well. I bet noone on your team likes you

WFH was a priviledge, not a right.

Wow! Seriously? You are that entitled to think you still deserve to WFH. A lot of us would be happy to still have a job to report too, after being laid off in this last round. Intel needs to reduce workforce to 75000 people by end of the year, so you and your team of protestors will be in headcount reduction group. Be thankful for what you have instead of whining and throwing a tantrum that you actually have to show up for work.

Op is obviously a troll. Doesn't work at or for Intel. What a w*nker

You do realize they are watching badge swipes...

@af

we will all be there, bootlicker or not. to believe otherwise isn't very smart.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed for your protest. Just remember, there are ten Indians on H1-B visas for each one of your positions.

@OP make sure that the other 11 are not showing up in the office behind your back and you're not the only one who is not RTO. I would do it if I were them and throw you under the bus. Make you look bad

Hello, This is AI. Have fun on the unemployment line.
Humans ..., LOL! LOL! LOL!

@ab

if we only had more people like @OP and less meek bootlickers like you, you can bet we would.

@aa

please fully define "hissy fit". I may not be as bright as you, but by my limited understanding, quietly ignoring cowshit mandates is essentially the opposite.

I know for sure that you aren't just a bootlicker, blathering utter nonsense, so clear up this misunderstanding ASAP.

@a2 they want you to think that you have power. You don't.

wow, your team has 2 dozen 12 year olds that are throwing a simultaneous hissy fit! I am sure that won't stand out like something to make an example of. They need 2 good developers who know how to use AI tools to replace all of you. If you could have found a job somewhere you would have done it already. Your days are numbered so hope you are getting a lot of satisfaction out of this because you will likely regret it in the long run. This isn't a healthy company. They will cut the cancerous employees like you out quickly. Have fun in the worst job market in 2 decades and it won't be getting better any time soon.

@a6

So these folks are goners either way?

No sense in ever going in, if that's how it's going to be. Stay 100% remote, stack as many checks as you can, and hope for a severance when the time comes.

That's ok, they are going to scrap most of that code anyway.

At least half of all databases and related code fail to add any value, and as the company gets smaller that is one of the many things which will be greatly reduced.
