    Under Intel both happened, sites were shut with people relocated to the main hubs (Portland in the US, Poland in Europe, somewhere in India too) and anyone with 'bad' (less than th…

    I disagree, the 2016 layoffs were organisational in nature. Basically they canned the Mobile CPUs, a big chunk of the GPUs and several other areas they decided they weren't perform…

    That's not taking into account that a $5m property from 1999 will have required significant refurbishment, property taxes and maintenance to even retain it's value let alone increa…

    It seems that every large company is guilty of this to some extent. I used to work at Intel and they had this exact problem when they tried to shrink the work force. The dynamic go…

    >KeenCorp doesn’t read the emails, exactly—its software focuses on word patterns and their context. Well if that isn't the biggest pile of horse shit I've ever heard, I don't know …
