On: Intel announces retirement of Pat Gelsinger

[paxys]

> Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC) today announced that CEO Pat Gelsinger retired from the company after a distinguished 40-plus-year career and has stepped down from the board of directors, effective Dec. 1, 2024

Is it a "he retired" or a "we retired him"?

If it were a planned, age-related retirement, it would've been announced half a year to a year ahead, no?

[bluGill → perlgeek]

Maybe. Sometimes it would be, but sometimes such things are not announced for various reasons.

Rhetorical question.

Brian’s affair with an underling was also surprisingly conveniently timed back then.

[alexey-salmin → baq]

With Brian it was damn too late if you ask me.

Why does it matter? Let him have his dignity either way.

[raverbashing → paxys]

Sounds like the latter to be honest

Does it matter?

[echelon → Cumpiler69]

The latter implies the government money comes with strings attached and that the forces eager to see a turnaround will be active participants. It's good to see.
