Is anyone following the Intel firing their CEO story?It’s interesting to say the least. “Last week Intel fired their CEO Brian Krzanich, allegedly for a consensual affair with a staffer which violated their non-fraternization policy. This flimsy excuse is just that. To us it looks like a cover for what is really happening and a sign that the deep and abiding problems at the company are not going to be honestly addressed by the board. Instead they will be swept under the rug as much as possible for as long as possible. Things are really that bad. Against this window into the minds of the Intel hierarchy we have the second problem, past CxO behavior. We won’t name names but do know where hard evidence of the things we describe are should need arise. These behaviors included things of both sexual nature, substances, and more at official Intel sanctioned events, the IDF after-parties for high end customers being a regular venue for this. The sheer number of Intel employees who came to SemiAccurate saying, “I got pictures of X doing Y with a Z”, or “Want to see a picture of X using Y?” was staggering, and it occurred regularly after major company events. This is not Folsom pond skinny dipping, nor is it Broadcom drugged sex dungeon level, but if we had to choose it would be closer to the latter in nature. These behaviors were not hidden, not secret, and given how many years this carried on for, there was no way it was thought of as unsanctioned. Past CEOs and CxO partook and everyone knew. If there is truly any non-fraternization policy, no-drugs policy, or no-anything else policies, they simply were not followed for over a decade that we know of. It is also not just a male executive and female subordinate issue, one high ranking female CxO was known to be having a long term and not hidden affair with their male subordinate. This went on for years until enough people are said to have complained about the subordinate’s rapid promotions. Eventually the subordinate was moved to a different command tree with no one getting so much as a slap on the wrist. SemiAccurate can only think of one ex-Intel executive who we would be confident in saying did not take part, and it is rumored he left the company because he could not affect changes in such behaviors. To make matters worse for Intel we come to the third leg of their problem, everyone knew. By everyone, SemiAccurate has heard from at least three Intel employees that all said this alleged affair has been going on for years and was no secret at all, it wasn’t even hidden. If everyone knew, it was consensual, and quite in the open, it follows that the board took swift action and fired BK for it last week, right? Again, we don’t buy that excuse for a second. Now for the real problem, the public reasonings for the firings are quite simply a pathetic excuse, so what are they covering up?” https://semiaccurate.com/2018/06/29/intels-firing-of-ceo-brian-krzanich-is-a-cover-for-deeper-problems/
What drama haha
Dayum! "The sheer number of Intel employees who came to SemiAccurate saying, “I got pictures of X doing Y with a Z”, or “Want to see a picture of X using Y?” was staggering, and it occurred regularly after major company events."
OP you should tag Intel employees in the post so we can get what they have to say
Done
Boring company. TC or GTFO
But they make cool ass flamethrowers
I say they should publish what they have
Pictures or it didn’t happen
The real sex party huh?
Is intel hiring? Damn! Why are you so bothered if someone uses drugs? If they perform who cares. Sounds like they throw some kick ass parties and close deals in the process. If it’s a consensual non subordinate relationship who cares?
It is more of a concern for not being fair. Imagine your coworker who slept with your boss got promoted while you got laid off, it is bad for business.
Of course hence my statement of non subordinate. Yes, if a boss is banging their underling (men or woman boss) that’s shady as hell. This write up reeks of a bitter employee look to put someone’s ass in a sling. They fired the ceo for what they learned. What more do you want?
Intel is a shitty company that's only around now because of the shitty things they did to AMD.
What did they do to AMD?
It's a lengthy read, but Intel did a series of shady things to sabotage AMD, including bribing/vendors to limit support for AMD and changing their compiler to intentionally throttle AMD chips (second comment on the chain). https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/3s5r4d/is_nvidia_sabotaging_performance_for_no_visual/cwukpuc/
Do people actually believe he was truly fired for having an affair with a subordinate? Come on now.
*consensual relationship
Don't believe it. Let the truth come out.
