As toxic as Brian Krazinich was, you can’t really blame one person for the problem at Intel. Yes, he and Murthy initiated the layoffs. But then the orders were executed by mid/senior management. They are the ones who have used reviews/promos/bonuses as political weapons for as long as I ever worked there (over a decade). It was natural that the 2016 layoffs at Intel eviscerated the technical contributors while keeping the politicians, ass-kissers and powerpointers in place.

As far as I can tell Pat Gelsinger has not changed anything. The same hacks who ruined Intel are all still there, moving up the managerial ranks. Makes sense because Pat came from that culture… he practically defined it.
