Uhuh.

I guess intel lays off another 15% of people because of ... 'FUD' and 'people who have no idea about the semi industry'

Yea.

It's just lay off season. Wait until all the other companies go "oh hey us too" in a few weeks.

Also look at the market tank. What's the usual reaction to that? Trim costs to improve shareholder appearance.

I never said what you're claiming. Please read comments carefully, assume good faith in the comments you read, and don't put words in my mouth.

Like I said, Intel's layoffs are a reaction to their stock tanking, and their stock tanking is due to investor behavior which is sometimes rational, but a lot of the times not.

[BeetleB]

The stock tanked after the layoff announcement.

They need the layoffs because all their competition have fewer employees. Intel is simply bloated.

[davidt84]

Right. They decided to lay off 15% of their workforce because investors act irrationally.

[Rinzler89]

I never said that. Why assume bad faith?

[davidt84]

I am assuming nothing other than what you said

How else am I supposed to interpret that paragraph?

[Rinzler89]

Is reading comprehension gone that low because of the school system?

Are you able to having a normal discussion with people without being arrogant and insulting? Relax a bit.
