Not only is NEX not on the updated org chart from LPB, but they put the Sachin (NEX leader) as new AI leader. No mention of NEX anywhere. I expect NEX to be cut - perhaps sold to Ericsson (their customer for 5G)?

Custom SOC team haven’t have any work since February while being told the management is figuring out what team is going to do what next. It has been almost 2 months and still no updates. I think the writing is on the wall.

It must be pretty bad if they needed this layoff diversion the day before. I am guessing it will be a bigger than expected loss, miss the revenue target, margins drop further, and guidance will be dismal. We will all know for sure in less than a day. — read more 

Intel plans to layoff over 21,000 workers this week. Bloomberg also reports the same.

They know what’s about to happen and are lying through their teeth while smiling at you when they say they don’t.

It’s not exactly a ‘rumor’ about 10 people being cut. We’re talking about 20% of us. And yet the whole thing is playing out like a cheap TV drama.

My *ucking God is management incompetent. Guaranteed although they say management will be targeted here it will be mostly engineering affected. Because they are re--rded

They just leave LipBu no choice

Despite the 20% reduction, the Sales and Marketing teams will remain unaffected and will proceed with the scheduled seven-day cruise aimed at enhancing internal collaboration and client relations.

New buzz phrase. Everyone suddenly figured out that layers upon layers of managers have been useless. But they all still have to figure out that just cutting the managerial class will not solve the real issues. There’s no vision yet, nor drive for... — read more 

What is the current headcount? Will this 20% be higher or lower than 15% cut last time, in terms of headcount numbers? We're all groups uniformly affected in the last cut?

They will start firing from the very bottom like janitors, security guards, technicians, junior engineers. All the engineers at level 9 and above are safe.

I presume they’ll take a heavy bite Into contractor companies in this round of cuts?

What wrong? Any real study about this?

All the working folks will get cut, and all the talkers will remain. LBTs big ELT shakeup was an dud. Intel has 3 years max of existence left. There is no way this company is going to survive.

The right number should be 70,000 +/-5000 . The sooner LBT does it the better. Ridiculously bloated VP/Fellow ranks, program managers, project managers, etc. this place needs to be cleaned up.

For those who are still at Intel... watch your back, especially if you are in a non-technical role, or in IFS. LBT wants Intel to be more technical, so that 20% cut will have to come mostly out non-technical headcount... plus he may want to shave a... — read more

Too many have been stealing paychecks for too long… Milking the cow until she runs dry.

Who guesses right answer can have one free banana, one free cup of coffee and life time WFH paid by thelayoff.com A. 10% B. 15% 20% D 30% E. 40% F. 50% G. None of the above H. No layoff will be announced
