    Hahahaha! Oh my this is hilariously sad!

    So they took -government- taxpayers’ money to create jobs. But instead spent it on stock buybacks. And now they are lying off thousands of workers because they need money?

    We all knew the CHIPS Act was a scam, but I didn’t expect it to be obvious this fast. I thought they would be more tacit about it.

    “Could it be that we pay the top brass too much? Nonono, that’s not it. Cut workers that depend on us to survive.”

      They should be thinking of the loss involved in replacing these CPUs as an investment in Intel’s long-term reputation. But instead they’re thinking “how can we make the line go up this quarter?” and cutting staff. It’s shortsighted, as all public companies are these days.

    It feels like its always the same with big companies trying to please their stakeholders. They just manoeuvered themselves into a very bad corner by planning super short term and trying to milk each product to their limits. All of this because they were super dominant for a long time. But as soon as they experience pressure by amd, apple m1 series or qualcom, to actually perform, they crumble under their own short term planning. It feels like their existence ist onley based on their reputation from several years back and the lack of research done by the customers
