But a former employee of Intel who now pursues a career as a bitter, twisted, opinionated and anally-retentive hack [who that? -Ed], said it was virtually impossible to get ideas accepted by bosses, who would rather cover their back and their stock options than accept sensible, run-of-the mill ideas. Intel employees who have several years of service with Chipzilla and therefore stacks of stock options are known internally as Excels, after the spreadsheet macros they routinely run to see how rich they are. theregister.co.uk Ok, it's a little obscure. I imagine Paul was quite adept at the "constructive criticism" described in that article. The environment probably has something to do with the institutional arrogance and glass house sanctimony about "personal integrity" exhibited by most of the Intel employees that show up around here, though it seems like an odd trip. Cheers, Dan.
