If you thought for one second these layoffs would be handled in a sensible manner for a change, I hope now you see that's not the case. Valuable people are being let go so that slackers, hangers on, and "friends" can stay. Just found out the entire... — read more 

I was pretty bummed out about it. But I think shareholders are probably happier to see me go than I am sad to have lost my job. The total happiness in the world increased. So, whatever.

Some companies protect employees during tough times. Others, like Intel, use crises as excuses to cut jobs. Guess which ones end up on top in the end? Spoiler alert: it's not us.

I don't know how they do it. They are utterly useless, "chief of staff" types... I am sure they will survive nuke apocalypse

That's how much Wall Street has faith in our new CEO and his ideas.

I've never tried before, what needs to be done? I am at the end of my rope.

I was part of the IDM 2.0 Accelerated Office (IAO) when I took the package last September, so wondering what sort of cuts they will face next week.

They have their own company credentials and will have email and other communication capabilities. “This is the next level,” Russell told the Journal. “I’m sure in six months’ time it will become very, very prevalent.” BNY said its AI Hub developed... — read more 

18a-p was supposed to be the first process totally designed to be compliant with standard PDK rules, so a bit surprising that the shift is not to that (as expected), but 14A has for some time been considered the first fully compliant offering. The... — read more

What's your SERMA balance?

This kind of sums the whole layoff thing up. The people who actually HAVE to be laid off will keep their jobs, I am talking about you, the executive lineup lame brigade.

Intel is top-heavy to the point of dysfunction. There are so many layers of management that real decisions either get delayed or lost in translation entirely. The people doing the work are often left out of strategic discussions, while directors and... — read more
