Intel's Craig Barrett to retire in May, says report By Peter Clarke Silicon Strategies 09/27/2004, 7:14 AM ET LONDON — Having already reached the age of 65, Craig Barrett, chief executive officer of Intel Corp., is set to retire May 2005, according to a question and answer interview conducted with Barrett by reporters from the San Francisco Chronicle. The interview spent some time looking at recent issues within Intel on product delays and mis-steps, which prompted Barrett to send an email to all employees. It also asked the Intel leader about the significance of China as a market and as a source of competition, before going on to discuss outsourcing. The newspaper also asked Barrett: "What advice would you give to your successor?" "I will tell my successor: "Make sure you have a passion for the technology and the business, and make sure you try to translate that passion to your employees and the company as a whole." People do a good job when they love what they do. They do a good job when they really enjoy and believe in what they do. So, I would make sure that my successor has those characteristics. I would also tell my successor that you make sure that you work hard and play hard. Balance your personal life with your professional life, but do both at 200 miles an hour," the report quoted Barrett as saying.

Weird gross things, like insurances not paying for a consumeable bag to hold something like urine after a surgery (or something like that, don't exactly know this person's specifics as this was heard 3rd or 4th hand) ##################### <deleted by poster> ;-)

re: I think Intel should drop its health care insurance for employees and give them cash instead to buy plans on the free market so their employees are free to get the type of comprehensive coverage they want... Amy, I think EVERY company should do the same. Until the health insurance market is a consumer market where the end user makes the decision, you will never have the most consumer friendly (and cheapest) product. John

Bias in Intel's Health Plan against females Intel male employess should also be upset about the inequities you refer to. Remember that the male employees have spouses and female dependent children, and thus this is a problem for most employees. So I am sure that if the female employees make everyone aware of the problem the inequities will be removed. However the entire health insurance is such a mess ! The consumer is unhappy because of unexpected exclusions, the medical practioners are in arms about the ridiculously low reimbursements, and the insurance providers are the ones coming out like bandits.
