Former Intel CEO asks people to pray and fast for employees
- alsetmusic 2y agoI heard on a podcast that he’s very religious and posted religious tweets on Sundays. That doesn’t help anything.
- bcantrill 2y agoSo if you didn't hear that on our podcast[0], would you mind pointing me to wherever you did hear it? Would love to hear someone else's take on a practice that... doesn't help anything, as you say.

- alsetmusic 2y agoI think it was Dithering (requires a subscription, so not possible for you to check my memory without paying).
- bediger4000 2y agoMaybe it does help. Might be letting us know God owns AMD stock.
- st3fan 2y agoThoughts and prayers for the shareholders.
- nis0s 2y agoI could be wrong, but he’s reading the room around who’s coming into the White House, so maybe he’s trying to get some favors? If we picks winners and ideas based on arbitrary criteria like religion, it’s a good way to lose competitively to other nations.
- quantified 2y agoDoes Intel just need to burn some fatted calves or similar? He's making God sound very transactional. I'd hate to think that "thoughts and prayers" becomes investment advice or execution strategy. It sure hasn't helped lottery players.
- osnium123 2y agoDoes he know something about upcoming job cuts or site closures that prompted this tweet? How worried should current Intel employees be for their jobs? Intel already went through 15k layoffs. Will they do another 20k layoffs?
- MobiusHorizons 2y agoThere was talk on a different thread about potential sale to AMD or Qualcomm iirc
- bigfatkitten 2y agoSome Intel employees will be fasting involuntarily when they're unemployed and broke.
