Man, that recent CPM round in CCPG was basically just a "loyalty layoff." People who actually ki-led it and teams handling critical stuff for Intel got canned anyway. Meanwhile, all these useless, dead-weight CVPs, VPs, and Directors are just hanging on to collect their RSUs and APB bonus checks.
Intel’s seriously on life support right now. Honestly, if you get a severance package, just take it and walk. Word is the next wave in January is going to be performance-based, where they’ll slap "Below Expectations" on 20% of the team so they can kick them out with zero severance.
And you already know all the old-timers will still be clinging to their seats like glue.
