> Murphy, who has served as chief executive officer of Marvell Technology since 2016, has been among the few names floated as potential replacements for the recently ousted Pat Gelsinger at Intel’s corner office.
As an aside, it's funny to read "Intel's corner office". Andy Grove eschewed a private office and other executive perks, opting to work in a standard cubicle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Grove#Egalitarian_ethos https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Grove#Egalitarian_ethos
- stn8188 2y agoThank you so much for this comment, detail and link. I was not aware of this aspect of his management style. The current CEO of my company has spoken highly of Andy Grove (I believe he was at Intel during Grove's tenure) and learning these details has helped me to see some similarities in my own company leadership.
- zooweemama 2y agoIf you want to go even deeper, I recommend Andy Grove’s books “High output management” and “Only the paranoid survive”.
- bsder 2y agoGrove is, in fact, mostly responsible for the current problems at Intel. Because of Grove's management style, information is ammunition--you do not share it. This is anathema to problems that need heavy R&D to solve. The corollary to this is that if you know someone is making a mistake, you let them as it improves your political position.
- IntelMiner 2y agoThe "job-centric" American economy feels...harrowing now "While Grove supported helping technology startups, he also felt that America was wrong in thinking that those new companies would increase employment. "Startups are a wonderful thing," he wrote in a 2010 article for Bloomberg, "but they cannot by themselves increase tech employment."[40] Although many of those startups and entrepreneurs would achieve tremendous success and wealth, said Grove, he was more concerned with the overall negative effect on America: "What kind of a society are we going to have if it consists of highly paid people doing high-value-added work and masses of unemployed?"
- jnwatson 2y agoYou can debate the quality of the jobs, but just Uber has created millions of jobs. Amazon too. Even Google which is very hesitant to enter businesses that require lots of labor employs hundreds of thousands of contractors.
- vkou 2y agoHow many jobs have Uber and Amazon destroyed? How well do the jobs pay? How much work do they demand for that pay? What's the net? Do they create any negative externalities? You can't just look at revenues without looking at expenses.
- haliskerbas 2y agoHow much do they rely on taxpayer funded social services for the survival of their workers. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/11/19/walmart-and-mcdonalds-among-top-employers-of-medicaid-and-food-stamp-beneficiaries.html https://www.cnbc.com/2020/11/19/walmart-and-mcdonalds-among-...
- astrange 2y agoWelfare is a subsidy /against/ Uber. It means that Uber has to pay more, not less.
- dboreham 2y agoUm. Wrong? You'd be correct if a worker could only take either welfare or a job, but that's typically not the case.
- hollerith 2y agoI disagree. You'd be correct IMHO if the welfare stopped if the worker quit his Uber or Walmart gig. If a poor person has two income sources, either source is less essential than if he had just one of the sources. The less essential the pay from the Uber gig, the less Uber can squeeze the worker.
