Slickly - Re: " Two billion dollars profit per quarter, and they are laying people off. What a company!!!"

Intel runs its business and makes a profit.

I suppose AMD is a welfare corporation and losing money is part of its charter.

Re: "what Intel did to the economy of Olympia with their broken
promises."

What promises did Intel make to Olympia ?

Actually, Intel has a plant in Dupont, Washington, - so you couldn't be mistaken, could you?

Scumbria, those 3,000 people were mentioned by Intel early, medium and late in their leaving process as being mostly by attrition. For a company with 60,000 people, 5% attrition in a year is good. Of course, the "right" people don't always leave.
