Can you tell me more about Intel in Portland?
Glad to give you more info
I worked for Intel for 25 years and worked there because I loved the company. I volunteered to leave in 2014 rather than put up with the nonsense going on.
REALLY hard work at a stress level that is hard for non-Intel people to understand.
Code word for dying on the job was “popping a fuse”
Happened more often than you would like.
Andy Grove and Paul Otellini were Intel’s best CEO’s. BK and Barrett clearly the worst.
Andy working with Bob Noyce pioneered “copy exactly” which allowed Intel semi yields to be the best on the planet. Even today, Intel is 3-4 years ahead of anyone.
Paul Otellini worked the deal which brought Apple into the Intel camp and saved Apple.
Craig Barrett setup a plan with HR to fabricate poor reviews of long term, hard working people for the sole purpose of replacing them with workers from India.
I have always suspected he was working with Carly Florina who was doing the same thing at HP.
When Barrett got wind that employees were just about ready to show up at corporate headquarters with torches and pitchforks, he resigned.
Brian Krzanich, current CEO and not-fondly called “The Burger King” (initials BK) openly within Intel is actively working with Obama and the USA State Dept so only “Diversity Approved” people are hired.
Very Sr managers decided to retire rather than help with this nonsense push.
I know of at least 20 managers who decided to leave or were forced out.
One other thing which is going on very secretly is Intel is involved with the State Dept and NSA on some secret project I suspect having to do with monitoring communication.
The project isn’t on any roadmap and funding is coming directly from the Fed.
There was some quid-pro-quo arrangement but I left before I could find out what it was.
