The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Used to work at Intel (almost 14 years). Is still a great company but it had problems.

Every company does. Sold my INTC a long time ago, so don't really follow it much. They never competed against my company, so never a concern after I sold. However, on TMF, I'm seeing a lot of complaints about incompetent management. Not sure of all the details. But it is sounding like they were a great company, but no more. Checking INTC performance, it has been lackluster for at least 5 years. If you bought five years ago, you're actually in the red.

Yes, they do have some awesome engineers. Some of their people would move to our company (less stress), and some of ours would move there (more money). For the most part, they were all really good engineers moving both ways.
