Thanks Intel from the bottom of my heart!
Your generous ISP package came in right before Brexit. I'm buying cheap stocks like crazy. Got a new nice paying job, so I'm selling my overvalued house in Bethany at a huge profit.
What happened with Sophia Antipolis?
Did the site get closed? What were the ISP, VSP and retirement numbers? Any info?
BK???
Excuse me as an outsider. What does BK stand for? and why do posters refer to this? All I can find is google references to a fast food company. I was under the impression that Intel was only in the computer business??
Intel-provided smartphone still has old Intel emails, even after termination?
If Intel let you keep your smartphone after termination, do you still have your old Intel emails on it? IT was supposed to remotely remove the Intel content on our last day, but this didn't work on my phone, apparently; so my phone actually still has... — read more
Question for VSP folks who filed for unemployment
I realize that VSP is technically voluntary but for some it may seem coerced with all the threatening emails that the next round won't have such a good package. For those who took VSP and have filed unemployment, what did you use for reason for... — read more

BKMs to save Intel
Eliminate focal and 360s, replace it with team-oriented projects and tangible goals. Everyone wants to be the MVP, but they don't want to win the Super Bowl for the team. This will take care of backstabbers, lazy managers, and power point... — read more

When will Intel stabilize from this mess that BK and big M have created.
If Intel does not hire back the first batch of VSPers in the next six months or so, it will never be able to getup to speed and be productive in the next 2-3 years.
How dependent is real estate in FM on Intel?
As part of collocation I chose FM. Is entire region such as El Dorado Hills, Granite Bay,and surrounding areas reliant on Intel? In other words if and when Intel heads downhill, will the entire region tank? Wondering whether to buy or rent.I will... — read more
Why does Intel need to give any packages?
Seeing folks being pushed out already results in employees thinking Intel is a sh*tty place to work, so I don't think any severance package will change that mentality.
More coming end of June
Now that we've screwed up engineering and manufacturing, let's f**k up our sales force: http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20160627PD203.html
BK and staff need to control cost instead of continue laying off folks

Is Intel bankruptcy slowly showing on the financial Event Horizon?
