Intel CEO Brian Krzanich Resigns - For Having Sex With Colleague

[jigar2speed]

To be CEO is to be non-human. This is why we hire them at the salaries they draw. The board should not have to suffer such fools!

My building is 80% woman and some how my dick stays in my pants.

Not every situation is same, Men or boys get jelly if they are approached first by girls, i have seen good married men make mistake just because once in their life time they got approached from the women. In the end of the day, everyone is different and the situation is different. You have zero clues what he might be going through his personal life. May be this affair was worth it or may be not.

Intel INSIDE!!! pun intended

CEO took this very seriously.

 

[Bones]

THATS IT BRIAN!!!! INTEL INSIDE ME!

Brian approves this post with a toast.... Doggie style.

And you guys wanna blame it on the dog.....

Dat title, cmon bro, w1zz... While technically might be correct, forms a very negative connotation about the situation.
Having romantic relationships of any kind are a violation in the company. It doesn't have to be sexual

What I don't get is why? Unless the colleague was under their direct supervision or they were getting it on at work/on company time, which was not disclosed, why does it matter? There are two general rules for dating co-workers, 1, they can not be in direct chain of command and 2, neither can be already married. Other than that they are free to carry on outside of work as they see fit.

 

[Easo]

I'm gonna put on my tinfoil hat and say that this is Intel saving face and deflecting inquisite gazes.
Meltdown/Spectre, supposed problems with 10nm, AMD's resurgence and what I would call lackluster Intel response (that silly marketing slide was amazing xD) and the supposed insider trading before Spectre news got out.

And I wonder with whom he did have relations? Direct underling? Direct boss (assuming before he became CEO)? Those cases yeah, position of authority and all that. Other cases it's not and it shouldn't be anyones deal. In my company couples are a thing. Then again, I am in Europe, not USA, work laws are very, very different.

Sadly, I have attempted to moderate this thread and have handed-out several warnings (with no points attached). I feel it is a losing battle at this point.
Can we please try to be civil and cut down on the rhetoric? I understand that due to the nature of the topic that my request is almost impossible...
Please try though.

What should have happened was that this clickbait thread should never have been posted. Since that didn't happen, every jerkass clever clogs happy to assassinate Krzanich's character simply because they are rabid Intel-haters, or because "I would've done it looooool", should've been handed a time-out to teach them to behave somewhat like the adults they claim to be. Especially since TPU is - supposedly - enforcing good behaviour more rigidly now.

It's not outside the realm of possibility that Intel or Krzanich could decide to sue TPU for providing a platform and not discouraging and environment that allows people to defame him. I bet then we'd see rather fewer clickbait headlines and a lot more good behaviour, so I'm actually kinda hoping it happens.

Same here. It's even encouraged. Most solid and stable companies like having married employees as it generally promotes stability.

This sounds a bit iffy... but hey if they wanna roll with that ... what can one do ... my 2 cents...

Because you didn't use the reply function, let's presume you were replying to me; Why is that iffy at all?

Neah dude... Was just my thoughts on the article... I mean it sounds a little too far fetched. Usually stuff like this gets swept under the rug

Ah, understood.

 

[medi01]

So, this dude:

1) Burnt 300$ million on "diversity efforts"
2) Aimed at extremely realistic "40% of engineers are female" (good luck at that, whatever he was smoking)
3) Meltdown, Spectre
4) Ryzen, Threadripper
5) Threadripper 2 and widespread mocking of Intel's response

fired for consensual sex with someone working at Intel, sure thing.

Would you like a cookie for this?
A small monument perhaps? Or rather big one?

Should we PM you telling how great you are?

Fucking unbelievable how pathetic people can get.

If you need that interpreted: Someone has their job and someone does not -- and I'm certainly down the pay scale from my from own CEO. The whole point being that it should go without saying, yet here we here, with apologists believing this only affects him and not every single employee he commands. So yeah, apparently it does need to be said out loud sometimes because it's the minimum bar standard. The second something like this happens at my company is the second we longer need that persons service, and we're small compared to Intel, but still thousands of families with their livelihoods to company stock and quarterly returns. Humanity -- starts becoming real valid when our sales team are talking to customers. That's possible contracts lost until things our soundly changed.

In many large corporation, as well as the U.S. armed forces, it is not allowed. It exists for a reason. It can have major impacts throughout the company if no policy existed. Anyone dating the CEO, for example would be viewed with suspicion and envy and hatred. From that day forward, no one would believe any promotion came on their own merit.

There would be so many webs you couldn’t move even half of those who might be affected or cry favoritism if fraternization was allowed. The higher ranked person’s impartiality and professionalism also become called into question by the rank and file members. He thoughts he was above his own company’s rules. He found out different.

You don’t have relationships where you work.

I thought the board would've booted him out a while back, for underperforming

But I guess this is what it takes, except for a certain someone who's always in the news for all the wrong reasons

Maybe it is for underperforming and this ”love story” is used as a pretext. Not entirely my idea, here is a better take on this https://semiaccurate.com/2018/06/21/brian-krzanich-out-as-ceo-of-intel/

Man oh man some of the comments in this thread just shows how much some have the need for improvement in their cognition and reasoning and their understanding of truth. That is all I have to say. Also would like to add thank you to W1zzard for the update on this !
FOX NEWS IS NOTHING EVEN CLOSE TO TABLOID, IT IS THE MOST TRUTHFUL NEWS IN THE USA AS OF DATE!

He's the flipping CEO, potential for favoritism is way too high to let something like this slide.

He was let go due to Intel's position not because he was banging the receptionist, let's think about it for a second, if he was to be fired do you think they would want more flak than they already got? Usually when a CEO gets the boot it's followed by a nose-dive in the stock market and I'm not sure if Intel can afford that right now. This is how I view it at least I'm pretty sure this thing is going on on a daily basis in the corporate world (I do work in a corporation that has that policy in place, yet they sometimes choose to ignore it). I'm pretty confident that Intel's position has led to this.

You might be onto something....

From what I've experienced with folks that are in the boardroom..... If they want someone "Gone" all they have to do is dig around for some dirt. I'd be willing to place my money everytime if a CEO gets investigated, something would be found they could be fired over according to corporate policy.
I'm thinking in this case it was desired to see him leave in a way that wouldn't shake the stocks so much yet still serve the same purpose - And behind closed doors he's been blamed for all the setbacks Intel has had in recent times.

I've been witness to such shenanegans before with how the blame game is played at the corporate level.... And it's about the highest level of game play you'll ever see like this aside from politics itself.
Just plain nasty.

To be fair to the rest of the board, he did drop the ball multiple times. Otherwise how can you explain a 3 year delay to 10nm from the earliest roadmaps, there's also nothing to counter Zen v2 atm.

 

[Bones]

Potentially a ton of reasons why it didn't happen, from things he was directly responsible for to things that was out of anyone's hands to control. Failures of others at his level to get things done too yet they somehow managed to pass that buck UP the ladder... And right into his lap.

The first rule of management still applies:
"Everything is your fault".

 

[trparky]

And behind closed doors he's been blamed for all the setbacks Intel has had in recent times.

Oh yeah, AMD coming up from behind and whacking them upside the head probably was one of the reasons.

there's also nothing to counter Zen v2 atm

Yep.

Blaming him for the 10nm problems is like blaming the sky for rain.

Wow what an analogy, I'm sure Brian would approve btw 10nm isn't late just once it's continuously slipping & any other CEO would likely be axed for such a string of failures on multiple fronts.

Being ceo, he is the top of chain, so directly in command regardless, he screwed up by using the wrong head and should of dated a woman else where...

False dichotomy. The foundry business is one thing, executive lack of leadership is completely another. You cannot blame the foundry thingy on the CEO. Afaik, this guy was at the head of the foundries.
