How is attrition affecting you?
People are leaving for greener pastures because Intel is clearly ignoring what inflation is doing to their employees' buying power. I believe that the trend of leaving will not slow down, but will soon be even greater. I don’t think a solution is... — read more

Isn't it obvious? The company doesn't care about you. It just chuck you on the sidewalk whenever it wants, with not a care. That's what "at will" is. Why care about a company that never cares about you? It's quite puzzling. You're a cog. A... — read more
