Sad state of affairs. Intel is like Boeing now. Wtf is happening with our large American companies?

Marketing MBAs and management are making decisions in a vacuum and they are not consulting tech and engineering. Much of the experience and institutional knowledge has left the building.

Standards have been lowered for so long. It's just coming home to roost now.  Tech people are looked down upon in favor of lies on glitzy powerpoint presentations.  You can't believe it's universal, but it's getting there.

Yeah. Glad I’m on AMD. The Intel guys are sweating wondering when their CPU is going to die.

They get absolutely clobbered when it comes to efficiency.  If the electric bill doesn't bother you, it still matters running with a high end GPU without the room getting hot.

I'm about to log off work early and play some games on my desktop with a 13900k and 4090.  It's going to be 100 degrees ambient temp today.

Tech is getting hit hard.  Intel cutting jobs, Dell cutting like 12,000, Cisco 7%.  Got to love Bidenomics.

One of the big demos at defcon last month was a massive security flaw in AMD processors that allowed control over the system.

just like a lot of other low level potential vulnerabilities, it requires privileged access to the physical system already.

All kinds of these come out every year. If you already have physical access to the computer with admin rights you're already fucked.

The fun voluntary phase has closed and now the fun involuntary phase has begun.

I've deleted the majority of this post a couple of times. When I joined 2017, I'd hoped this would be the company I retired from. It felt a lot like the IBM of the 90s where good ideas tended to win.

Today, I'm not really sure what I am hoping for. Clearly it's better to have a job, but the reality of the aftermath is going to be more work with less hands and increased brain-drain as people with institutional knowledge depart. I'm a software guy doing software stuff so I don't have any insight into the hardware side of things beyond "Wow, what have you guys been doing?"

So when the PRC attacks Taiwan, they'll get all of TSMC and we'll be fooked even harder.

I'm all for less government intervention, but this is one area where the government needs to step in. Companies are far too comfortable with layoffs these days. They need to feel the pain before upending so many lives.

Corporations want to have all the benefits and advantages of being an American company, without any responsibility to the American people.

well, there's a different school of thought, that, painful as it is, layoffs free up talent to start new companies and re-allocate human resources into more profitable businesses, leading to growth for new sectors and businesses.

Yet, losing your job when you're not ready to lose it seems potentially devastating on a personal level.

I will say, the severance terms are incredibly generous.  Even reasonably new employees who are laid off this time around are going to be ok for a while, plenty of time to find other work or start a new venture.  Painful, but necessary.

That said, it does seem to be the result of repeated mismanagement over and over and over again and the folks who take the brunt of the mismanagement are generally not the ones managing it.  How is management of the company so bad that you need an involuntary layoff every 5 or 6 years?

As someone in that industry, keep the government the fuck out of it.  Yeah at-will employment and the prospect of getting laid off at the drop of a hat sucks, but no problem has ever been improved by throwing government at it… ever.

And yes, I’ve survived dozens of layoffs and been hit by several over the years.

I was once the last person laid off in a big RIF. We were all standing around at the end of the day talking about how rough it was and how good it felt to survive another layoff, when one of the angels of death flagged me down - “hey, can I talk to you for a minute…”
