Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

May be if a ton of people protest against BKs leadership, some action may come out of it? Or is it too much to hope for? Its really sad to see the company getting burned to ground with such lack of vision.

Is there any way to get the board members to listen to how majority of employees view the current leadership ?

Not as highly regarded as you might think...

There is no sign of Danielle Brown's exit in the press. Is it true or trolling? She was a highly regarded leader, can't believe she would be asked to leave. In fact, the link by OP says she was given a new leadership post in April?

Progress to Diversity 2020 goal is going backwards. Indian males are not a minority. Not surprised she bailed.

Intel on the outside, QCOM on the inside. This was likely BKs grand vision to fix the mobile mess. Trouble is the mobile mess is not fixed. Oops. Now AMD is competitive at x86 but the x86 intel experts are gone in favor of a 1% increase in females and a 0.1% improvement in URM representation. Oops. Knuckleheads.

The QCOM trolls have penetrated intel and are inside us now.

OP is QCOM troll

Big reductions, look at the pricing of the latest products. Huge for sold for pennies as Intel is responding to AMD with margin busting pricing.

Too keep margins up, big ACTs a coming !

Reduction In Force. Standard industry term. Not at Intel.

What the heck is a RIF? Intel never called a layoff by that name that I can recall.

@-1xzu,

What happen with the iPhone recognition program? What was it about? I work at DCG that is why I am not aware of the inner workings of iCDG.

Yea, when they killed off the iPhone recognition program in iCDG, it was obvious that there is some large scale spending panic going on. I am not saying that cancellation wasn't justified - you just don't hit the brakes on something like that when everything's already rolling, unless there is something HUGE happening in the background. Also a bit of a kick in the face for Aicha who had tried so hard to get this to happen. After all, we know how weak iCDG's "leaders" are with intrinsic motivation, so they really needed that extrinsic motivation for the teams.

And yea, now the complete hiring freeze. I suspect someone looked at some key numbers after ACT and went "What the F is going in with this company???"

The smart VPs collect their 7 figure bonus and stock options and when they score their lifeboat they are outta there.

So you poor less than VPs with little bonus or stock, what is your lifeboat plan as the ship slips into the abyss?

X86 sales continue to slip, silicon technology falls behind the leaders, billions spent on initiatives that will be destined to result i failures and write downs.

Billion unit cellphone volumes make Samsung and TSMC stronger while BKs stupid follies make Intel bank accounts weaker and weaker so much that they can no longer finance the needed changes.

Truely bleak times, no wonder people are jumping of they can, and so should you!

Happy Memorial Day and enjoy your holiday

Seems like every month a high level VP jumps off the ship...

Maybe soon enough Banana King will walk the plank himself?

10nm and 14nm both below expectation, hiring and HC is above ACT and billions blown on acquisition and initiatives that are destined for failure.

BK leading Intel into the abyss, do you have an exit plan as it will be ugly with such stupid leadership.
