Intel CEO announces massive layoffs, stricter in-office mandates, and huge spending cuts

[trieste1s]

You mean the last two white male CEO's that drove Intel into the ground?

Are CEOs hired explicitly using DEI policies?

Anyone valuable isn't going to get fired.

Firstly I wasn't discussing whether or not they should be fired I was remarking on how ridiculous it is to call it 'delaborating'.
Secondly I can't let that comment go...when a new team come in and announce job cuts they stare at a piece of paper for ten minutes and pretend they understand the business. In my experience 95% of CEO's and high-level executives in big business are deeply flawed and not very intelligent people who are very good at office politics, back stabbing and talking bullsh1t but otherwise about as useful as a chocolate teapot. Donald Trump bullying types with a desperation to be in control and prone to make really daft snap decisions on a whim. The real business (which usually starts about 2 tiers down) spend their whole time trying to keep these *****s on the golf course and away from any meaningful decision making.

DEI itself is a racist concept, you know. And I'm neither white nor American.

You clearly have no experience of it. I worked for 28 years for HPE, and they had DEI the whole time, and it just wasn't a big deal because... wait for it... everyone was included.

Inclusivity isn't popular in the comments section on this site these days. Nice to hear from a rational human being for a change.

"Tan says more in-office work promotes better engagement, collaboration, and productivity – a claim that has long been debated."

But still proven true by literally every metric available. Work-from-home, like DEI, is a productivity and company killer.

CEO's are THE most worthless person in a company. They can disappear and the business keeps operating. They bring absolutely no value and you are right, all they do is make knee jerk reactions without listening two shits to anyone who they PAY to know more than them.

Absolutely false.

I love when you guys talk in absolutes proving you know absolutely nothing about what you are talking about. In many instances remote work has increased productivity, prolonged tenure at companies, improved quality of life and many other factors.

It has instilled a deep seeded loyalty to my company allowing me financial and physical freedom to live where I want instead of forced to live somewhere with a much higher cost of living. We embrace letting folks go pick up their kids in the middle of the day or swapping laundry out. They treat us like humans, we return with loyalty, hard work and dedication caring about the job we do. Evaluate your employees based on performance and objectives and you dont need to micromanage them with pretend worthless middle managers.

Not to mention that companies that embrace remote work have access to a higher talent pool instead of just limiting yourself to the folks within 50 miles of your office. I am a people manager for example and I wouldnt trade my India and Costa Rica resource for 20 folks closer to the office.

Every metric? I guess this article from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics doesnt count? Do better.

Yes, exactly this. Trump voters use DEI/Woke lingo to try and cover their racist leanings. Any time you see some clown harping on about DEI this and woke that, they're really just saying if you don't have white skin you're incompetent and shouldn't be hired.

Predictable.
Instead of engaging with real criticism of DEI and "woke" ideology, you lazily label anyone who disagrees as racist. It’s a weak, tired tactic and it says far more about your inability to argue or have an open mind than it does about anyone’s skin color.

Not to mention your inability to keep politics out of any and all topics on here, it doesn’t belong here.
Your endless attacks on Trump only expose your bitterness and emotional instability, you do it in every topic. I said it once I will say it again, he is living rent free in your head, you must be exhausted by now, no?

He’s serving his term like every president before him. No amount of ranting, whining, or tantrums on TS forums will change that. Grow up and move on.

That's what gets ignored sometimes. Why do some people not realize that every last one of them against equal rights, equal opportunities and everyone has a voice, are the real losers?
As I talk to them, it doesn't take long to realize why they can't go on without very big life
advantages. Simply, they ain't got it.

That's why I end up siding with any minority 90% of the time. Be it a racial minority or women.
It's white males whining about losing embedded advantages they have had for centuries against groups of people just asking to be equal.

Some really good points. At its heart, the struggle for equality reflects the tension between what is and what could be. True equality isn’t just about leveling the field, it’s about recognizing the unique value in every individual and creating a society where potential isn’t dictated by history, appearance, or circumstance. But how we get there matters deeply.

Getting it right is the most important and crucial thing. Our current society often seems ignorant, either to why systems of advantage were designed in the first place, or to the ways those same systems are now sometimes extended to individuals who may not truly need or deserve them.

If we aren't careful, we risk replacing old injustices with new ones. The real goal isn't shifting power, but building a foundation where no one is trapped by either privilege or disadvantage.

A single anecdote in a single company?
And how is HPE with the ongoing ink refill saga?

And people were saying Pat Gelsinger was bad. This guy is a loony.

If Intel kills its GPU business, I'm NEVER EVER going to buy another product from them again.
Also, the fact that instead of taking a cut of the salary, the CEO is willing to cut people immediately shows what species of psychos the C-suites are.

Um.... White Males are actually a minority.

"In 2021-2022, women earned the majority of post-secondary degrees at every level, accounting for 62.8% of associate degrees, 58.5% of bachelor’s degrees, 62.6% of master’s degrees and 57% of doctoral degrees."

White people are only 8% of the world population.

That's what happens when so many of any 1 specific group is a bunch of entitled dumb as**s.
56% of Architects on my staff are women, and has been majority female since 2004.

White people are only 8% of the world population.

I learned that in grade school. Everyone but you knew I was talking here in the US.

Um.... White Males are actually a minority.

In the US? No, 100% wrong and laughably short-sighted.
You still haven't learned that just saying something does not make it right.

Almost 58% of America is White, as logged by the Census Bureau.

Endless attack against an incompetent fool that has no idea what he's doing and the vocabulary of a six-year sold?!
He's bringing the pinnacle of democracy and the bastion of freedom into the ground.
I'm not living in the US. I'm living in Europe. I can't stop laughing at the reaction of every world leader when facing this poor excuse of a human which lacks any smidge of empathy, common sense and wit.
It's saddening to see how a cultured Obama is replaced by this Trump t.rd.
