Intel Bangalore office to close or downsize big time

MORE WORD has reached us about Intel Bangalore, where we hear the fear is that the office might be shut.

We told you about this a while ago, but now there is a little more to add.

The official word is that there are lots of projects failing, high attrition rates and, most laughably, low ethics. While we have doubts about all three of these, we do know that a lot of the problems come from management giving impossible tasks to new teams, and other related oversight issues.

Senior Intel people have asked to study the costs of closing the Bangalore office, but it is not 100 per cent dead yet. Possibilities include moving it, downsizing it, or both.

In either case, it looks like the employees are going to suffer for (mis)management problems. Our sympathies go out to them. µ
