Lots of IRMP/SERMA/Retiree health exchange brochures and paperwork coming. Any reason to pick those instead of just taking the COBRA first?

Any news about McAfee? Didn't it get sold yet?
Japan's Softball bought ARM for a 44% premium. Based on the CC details, I believe that this is extremely bad news for Intel's IoT aspirations.
Tick Tock 1 more nail.
If you are over 50 and survived the last purge, pay attention.
You may have made it this time, but in general Intel is no longer a place you can retire from at your own timing. Think you can work until 70 because you have a mortgage, kids with college loans, etc? Think again... — read more

OK geniuses. What would you do differently than BK?
Keep in mind that PCs are dinosaurs and the REASON for all of the layoffs is that people aren't buying these anymore.
Does anyone know if they are 'rounding up' the number of years tables for ISP/VSP payouts?
for example, the table says 27 weeks payout for 18-20 years, and so on? Does anyone know if they have been rounding up for people who worked say 19.5+ years? (or others on the border for any years on the table).
Is Co-Location Still Going On?
I am working in SC, but parts of my team are widely scatted across multiple geo's and time zones. Are there still co-location efforts going on? Can I sleep easier at night? Any details on what's being offered?

The reason Intel got so bloated and over staffed
was managerial lack of focus. Starting/stopping/changing too many initiatives and staffing them to the hilt, then going nowhere in terms of results. Excerpt from another post. (So true)!!!! I still see this going on and on and on and on.

Post about regional differences in Intel benefits is gone
I wonder what was offensive about the OP that moderators removed. It is a fact that Intel's benefits programs and also layoffs are affected by regional laws and limitations. I think the thread was informative that there is not any prejudice based on... — read more
