Intel & JLL - A Can of Worms
In my earlier article, I wrote this piece. The information was provided by a deep throat of mine. Today, my deep throat informed me of more stunning information. I cant even have a breather since coming back from Kiasuland. Yes, I spent my recent long weekend in Kiasuland with Tofu.. I will talk abt that later. For now, I have to post what my deep throat had provided me.
As I said, last week I posted an article on why Jones Lang LaSalle can go suck it up big time. Basically Jones Lang LaSalle outbid everyone to win the Intel contract for FM (facilities management). JLL had already known that they would win it even before the bidding was officially announced..
A reader of mine caught up with my blog and this was his comment.
‘…Friend, All of your assumptions and notes are on the mark. I worked 9 years for In-hell and this latest contract with JLL is an effort +3 years in the making to outsource facilities scope and remove the “inhouse” expertise that Intel has had over the last +25 years. The bidding circus was only a mere effort to appear “fair.” This horse race was thrown before it began. Intel is the fucking most hypocritical company when it comes to ethics. They put on some pretty good makeup to hide that fucking ugly face beneath, let alone the rotten soul beyond that. Cheers..’
Harsh words ey don’t you guys think? Well I don’t for one. Fuck Intel! Fuck JLL!!
I bet everyone at some point of his or her life has had a relationship before. Note that I mentioned ‘has had’. Meaning to say we have been in and out of relationships before. Have you noticed what the reasons are when you plan to break up? These reasons are mere excuses. You come out with a million and one excuses just to bail yourself out of a relationship.
Well, this is basically what Intel did. Not to JLL but to their rival bidder apparently. Ok, I will get down to what my deep throat has told me.
Intel Asia had favoured the incumbent supplier but apparently some top US folks in Intel had favoured JLL on the other hand. And this favoritism was why JLL had managed to undercut to win the Intel US Facilities Management contract last year.
Earlier as posted, rumor and speculation was that JLL’s boss is a close friend of the Intel Corp Facilities VP. Well, that rumor aint rumor anymore and now has changed to a fact. Who the fuck this JLL guy is, well my deep throat doesn’t quite know but it seems that the Intel Corp Facility VP is Neil Turnmore. And news has it that Neil Turnmore is pretty close to Paul Otellini, the CEO of Intel. Can you see the connection now?
So what are the connections between JLL and Intel’s Neil Turnmore and Paul Otellini? If you read the comment that (I had pasted above), it seems that JLL and Intel has been in negotiations for the past 3 years now. Neil Turnmore came on board Intel Facilites almost the similar timeline.
If all this is true, then this is not only the biggest fuck-up conspiracy that I have heard from my deep throat ever since knowing him. This is also the biggest code of conduct that Intel has ever breached. And yet Intel boast of integrity and the right business ethics and whatever not. Does this action not constitute to violation of business ethics and therefore liable for termination and even upto law suit?? Hey can someone do something???
News has it that since Intel US didn’t like the current incumbent; therefore Intel had to create a case against them. Basically this move was planned to politically and diplomatically kill off the ties between Intel and the current incumbent. Intel is such a scumbag!!!
Let’s hope JLL screw up so bad that Intel wont even know what actually hit them…
