How many other people do you imagine this sequence of events happened to over the past two weeks? To me it looks like you doxed yourself while also desparaging

How many other people do you imagine this sequence of events happened to over the past two weeks? To me it looks like you doxed yourself while also desparaging your former employer. So maybe you will remain fired?

Imho, if above comment were a reason to be fired at intel, then it really wouldn‘t be an organization worth working for.

I haven't been fired. I am in a weird limbo state where part of the bureaucracy thinks I've been suspended but other parts know that this is just an administrative error and are trying to fix it. So I'm still being paid, I'm just unable to actually do any work because my security credentials were accidentally revoked (because part of the bureaucracy thought I was due to be fired because someone entered the wrong date into the system) and no one seems to know how to restore them despite the fact that everyone agrees that this is what needs to be done. And, like I said, this is not an isolated incident. I don't know if this particular problem has ever happened to anyone else, but I have experienced similar issues that have affected others in addition to myself. This sort of thing happens regularly. No one is at all surprised by it. There are multiple processes that are deeply broken with no possibility of fixing them. Here is another example: the design group I work with has been assigned a shared storage area of 100GB -- and no, that is not a typo: one hundred gigabytes shared across a dozen engineers. And we do chip design, so we generate lots of data. Needless to say, that shared storage is always very nearly full, and we get regular emails nagging us to delete stuff that we no longer need. So we have a dozen engineers spending time triaging their data in order to save a few dollars on storage costs. Yes, it is every bit as insane as it sounds. I once tried to point out that this is insane, with the result being that I was admonished for being a troublemaker. So now I don't bother any more. So there is no doubt in my mind that at least some of Intel's troubles are entirely of their own making, and I'm in a position to know.

  That’s absurd. 100gb is a few bucks a month on [cloud provider]. Wouldn’t it be cheaper to expand it instead of micro managing the talent?

  mate, you're under NDA with the contract you're bound to, and they can easily claim everything you just disclosed violates the NDA as grounds to swap you out of the contract. Now if that's what you want, godspeed. But you're perfectly identifiable to anyone managing insider threats at INTC; you're strongly advised to delete everything you posted under this account. You run the risk of impacting not just yourself but the contractor you work for, and depending on how crucial this business is to the contractor, the outcome could be a years-long pain in the neck.

    While you are clearly concerned, it’s very unlikely. If the bureaucracy there was really that good at catching stuff like this, they wouldn’t be so incompetent at allowing this whole situation in the first place. also I doubt anyone really cares enough. It’s not like intel is a family business or even a closely held company with someone taking anything personally.

      Also, while it is true that I did sign an NDA, it listed very specific things that I'm not allowed to disclose, and internal policies and procedures were not on the list.

Thanks morpheos137 for helping me to understand my place. I'm obviously delusional and my suicide will help clean the gene pool. Thanks so much, morpheos137 for helping me to better understand and accept this cold, hard reality. Tell you what. If I commit suicide now and if there's an afterlife that allows this, I'll pay you a visit as a ghost. I won't torment you like I've been. I'll just do everything in my power to help you understand how much of a piece of shit you were to me, and how wrong dang was to let you out of your malicious ape cage, after helping drive a stranger to suicide. I hope I am wrong and nothingness awaits. In that case, there won't be any visits and you can continue with your malice against others. You know, to help clean the gene pool of mentally ill folks. Good riddance, ape species. dang, that was dead wrong to let that ape out of his malice cage.
