Before I start this controversial topic, I am everybody to be sure, I am 100% for equality of gender, I myself provide 100% supports for LGBT community as a tech lead, and those topic are important to me, to provide justice and equality to all! We need to learn from the mistakes:
intel HR has discriminated against people above 50, we all understand that , email in HR were send to systematically get ride of people above 50 under BK. (Got copies of it). I was 49 then.
Intel has to settle with the victims of that discrimination, and what most people did not understand is the amount of talent intel did let go into this maddening act: An Army of Principal engineers , including in the process tech area ...
The maddening part of this all thing is that they did this in an effort to re-adjust their workforce balance for diversity... That the attempt! They committed an intellectual suicide by being well intentioned. In a matter of weeks, because I was 49, I ended up losing 80% of my...
...network, all the people I was sure they could do the job were fired, or even more funny, proposed to leave in exchange of a sexy package of cash. As they were known in the industry, those tech lead found a job immediately at apple , and double cashed for few Q.
That policies were done by BK, under the pressure of finance, today's intel CEO. When they discovered later what they have done, it was too late. They spent millions attempting to stop the best of the best who already got the emails and offers ...
in same case, they even let people keep "their package" to stay ... There are cases in IDC of that , where known geniuses of architecture were about to leave because they were offered cash to do so. This is all mismanagement based on a well intentioned ideas of diversity...
Doing diversity, I am all for it, but it should not be done why discriminating against an other class of people, especially when those people are all your mega experiences geniuses. Since then, Intel is incapable to recover. They event sent emails asking for old times to be back
But As G W Bush said: "fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice, you can't fool me again !" ;-)
Now, people can understand that you should not ever trust fully your HR to manage your workforce, that is what BK did, and Today's board of directors of intel is accomplice to this maddening mistake.
Yesterday 's Apple chip leads includes a lot of old intel geniuses ... in case somebody would like to argue the case ...
