Intel

The technology is interesting. The current CEO has his eye on the ball. We believe we are getting back on track. The benefit package is unmatched. Intel is very generous with PTO. The Eng Tech shifts are set up for 3 and 4 day work weeks. Most of us value this kind of schedule. Many BS holders stay working as Eng Techs for this schedule.

There is an unbalanced emphasis on social issues within the company. Why would an engineering company, trying to regain the lead in the semiconductor industry, spend so much effort to tow the line for the Progressive political movement in their internal emails, intranet articles, WBTs, and pay structure? Most would prefer to focus our attention on engineering with an actual meritocracy, where the skills we bring matter more than our race, gender, or sexual lifestyle.

Move back to a meritocracy system if you want to keep talent.

Stop cramming the progressive political agenda down your employees' throats.

Some groups have decided to prevent workers from transferring into other orgs (TD).

This has a negative effect on people's abilities to grow their experience base and their careers.

For this reason, I have started applying for work outside of Intel and have already generated a lot of interest.
