Not sure Intel's waste: managers, HR minions, VPs would be able to do so in this market. Just thinking that those individuals planned the stupid layoffs formulas....yeah Karma.

Unaccepted VSPs converted to ISPs. At least in VPG. Not sure about other groups, you can comment on specific situation in your group.

Anyone feeling any second thoughts about taking the buyout, or reconfirmed it was the right decision given current Intel situation?

Really. Why? If you care about your work, then that's your work and not the company. You'd just be proud of yourself and not some company. If you care about the pay, then that's your pay and still not the company. When the pay stops, then you simply... — read more 

During interviews , most of the indian managers will be taking Fresh MS students or H1B holders who are ready to die for the managers . Not just Int3l Good for manual work

Anyone care to comment?

The board is warming up, we have some company here at layoffs.com (at last) - there you go: &cisco-systems or https://www.thelayoff.com/cisco-systems

Still nothing after being laid off in April!

I've heard top Portland based companies are hiring ex-Intels in masses. Personally, I've been contacted only a couple of times by this eBay recruiter. Where are you people heading? I'm lost

This is AMD - company INTEL undermined, diminished, pushed around, joked with it. You know, CCG directors... What goes around comes around! ;-) AMD sent me some answers on their 14nm plans and this is a really big deal: “AMD has strong foundry... — read more 

No growth to speak of for the last 5 years. Battling to maintain current revenues and profits. Little upside in current monopoly markets. Inability to pick the next big things so gets involved in everything but executes poorly. Poor leadership with... — read more 

Even after passing on the iPhone. The 40M tablets BK scam and desperate move to mobile could have licensed ARM. Instead they used the bloated Atom design.

"But the biggest story today is how Yahoo squandered its massive head start and let each wave of new technology in search, social, and mobile pass it by. Yahoo remains largely the same company it was a decade ago — a portal that hundreds of millions... — read more 

Below are links to 5 image of the tech leaders Intel, Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Google. Can you guys which is which? https://goo.gl/images/6Ed0es https://goo.gl/images/CyWuMQ https://goo.gl/images/nmwg0r https://goo.gl/images/umtbMM... — read more 

Yet Intel has given up on apps processors for phones. LOL! Good job BK and PSO.

Anyone not get their full VSP payout after leaving June 24th? I have only received 3 small payouts...today is the "30 days" mark...

Surely these people should prove themselves worthy of Intel investing in them. Qualcomm doesn't do this.

Some light hearted fun for the weekend. Keep dreaming :-)

There were discussions here about Intel should have bought ARM. But with which money?

There are many short cuts to US Citizenship. I AM ON h1b, with a MS, and MBA top school in UK LSE. I got married 18 months ago to a Doctor in India, tough to get her to US but managed. She ended up getting a slot in the US military as a mid level... — read more 

Wondering if you do or get a pro-rated slice

heck , they just buried him - didn't waste a moment - altho' MR with his $25 mil showed earlier for the party. BK saying 'I can't help being paid so much' - what a crock. Were Grove around he'd put these two in their places but he is gone - and no... — read more 

I heard there will be some big shakeup in VPG yet to come. I would suggest that we first get rid of those fat pigs with their beady little eyes who moved from Folsom to Santa Clara in order to get a pitiful 15%--20% base pay raise, which is still at... — read more 

CEO Brian Krzanich has certainly been cashing out, as recent SEC filings show. His most recent (July 6) SEC Form 4/A shows that he sold a total of 71413 Intel shares and netted about $2.3 million. Go get 'em, boy! No any mercy to INTEL minions, just... — read more 

Can folks share any interview experiences here - How were ur interviews ? how long did it take to hear back from the company? Any advice u can share with folks here?

Looks like the forum admin removed a bunch of the racist and offensive posts, good job!

Seriously every time I come here I have to weed through negative, pessimistic, whiny, complaining remarks to find out some actually worthy content. I hope to never meet you in person.

Why would the management of a technology giant deliberately consign it to obsolescence? I think the reason is simply to provide a graceful way for the management to cash out of the company. And CEO Brian Krzanich has certainly been cashing out, as... — read more 

Rumor has it that Intel has a new business deal with BK. Why would Intel make a deal with Burger King. I am confused this makes no sense??

What the heck is going on with Intel?

... for only a matter of weeks, looks like he was either pushed out and/or offered a nice retirement package offer which he accepted. Another one bites the dust. Cheers to VPG!

For the past few years, with so many mergers and aquisitions, layoffs, uncertainty - is it a good idea to start a semiconductor career? Also, is there going to any scope for Hardware in the future? or it is dead?
