If HR would do their job like in most other companies, instead of being political and spineless, there would be no reasons or situations like what many refer here as Indian nepotism. HR has to enforce all classic rules like strict hiring practices... — read more
ERP/VSP to ISP .. DOES NOT ..mean lawsuits
If you are ISPed due to your project cancellation .. it has no co-relation to ERP or VSP being converted to ISP. The organization has no need for you. Some naive person in previous post claiming to have contact with HR at a graduation party is full... — read more
If you wonder why you are losing your job think this about sums it up
Broadwell-E is a modest boost At the end of the day, what Intel is offering here are slightly better versions of the products that it has been selling for the better part of two years, with an ultra-expensive variant added on top. For those people... — read more
ARM everywhere Intel's situation will get worse before it gets better
10nm ARM will arrive by EOY from competitors and ramp to greater volumes than intels x86 volume Then you got ARM servers riding the power of volume Dang wasn't that what intel did 20 years ago to SUN and DEC and other companies that are now gone... — read more
What does 'Virtuous Cycle' mean?
Or do they mean 'Virtual Cycle' but did not realise typo mistake?
Leave BK alone!
He is doing his best and is highly under compensated for his efforts to turn Intel around.
Is the board to blame?
For hiring BK as CEO. Don't they know he is the master of Copy Exact? Bad decisions are being copied exactly throughout Intel. . Inflicting low morale where it needn't be. what will be left on the company if this idiot is not stopped.
On Memorial Day: How many Veterans were impacted by Intel Layoffs? I wonder in Intel HR is even tracking this.
I am one. Army 12B in Desert Storm.
We should leave Intel top the Indians
Any predictions how that would work out?
Rumor has it that Intel will announce that they met their 12k number on the 3rd of June.
No need to be concerned on whether to take VSP/ERP until the next round in Q1'17 when they will announce another 20k layoff.
Recovering from a job loss for some of you is a lot like trying to recover from being an alcoholic..
The first step to recovery is just to admit that you have a skill set problem, versus it being an indian/asian stealing your job problem. Once you get past that first step, things get much easier.
Intel will send out fresh round of meetings with hr tomorrow
People will have 121 with their manager if they are to lose their job
Any layoff in DDG ?
Was there any ISP or VSP given to DDG group so far or did anyone hear about upcoming layoff news?
Anyone get a settlement from the Techtopus last year?
It still blows my mind how many people I work with have no idea what Otellini's part was in the Techtopus. And he still works for Intel (BK is his boss). Ethics should be modeled from the top down. And yet no one cried foul about this illicit... — read more
not able to file for unemployement now in OR
I spent half-an-hour and now it's not letting me go forward because it says "last day of work is a future data", since I entered 5/31. All those people who were advising to file now, how did you do it?
Yeah. What Bunch of crying brats
Get a life idiots.
Pathetic.. bunch of white men with well over median net worth whining about discrimination.
Get over yourselves!
I am a female, I don't believe in diversity program. i think BK is trying to gain political favor.
If two third of the world's female billionaires are in China, a country that doesn't give special favors to race or gender, female in this country can make it too. I, too, do not support special treatment to URM. Meritocracy lives!... — read more
Coming soon to Intel... A reality show called The Leftovers.
Much like the HBO series where 140 million people vanish from earth (due to heavenly rapture), in the coming weeks the effect of another 4-6k leaving Intel will shock, awe and traumatize "the Leftovers" that had to stay. So begins the drama of... — read more

Socialism works!
Nobody in Europe lost their jobs
Should Intel layoff half or more executive VP's of which I read Intel has more than two times higher number compared to the industry average
Followed by management layoff and real flattening reorg

What is the rationale for forcing hiring of minorities even with bad skills, like in no other company that I can see. Can someone explain it?

Intel HRs are not for employees they are for managers
Whatever you speak or write to them goes to your FLM/SLM immediately. You should be careful writing anything against your manager to them.
Safe SSL 5 in HR

I like Intel because it is so slow. I can do a lot of things outside my work life. I have been here 20 years and never get a VSP.
I went on long vacation. I came home. Things were still the same. The issues I have seen before I left were often in the same state, as if time has not passed. Customer get tossed around for months with little to no answers. Most people in Intel... — read more

I'm in HR.
There are certain people on this board that are under the impression that HR actually cares about posting on this board, Intel's reputation, spying on employees, entrapment and setting people up, and yada, yada, yada. HR is just like any other group... — read more

Engineer's life : the non-virtuous cycle
You study hard. You get through college and land a job. Work very hard to prove yourself. You start trying to live a normal life, wife kids and all that. You hardly have anytime left for anything. In the meantime technology passes you by. You become... — read more
As an engineer, I did ok. But that was only because I was lucky and won the IPO lottery in the past.
If I was simply counting on a W2 + bonus + RSU like now, it would have sucked bigtime.
BK or the board?
It is obvious that BK lead to this flustercuck but how can the board reward the CEO with a raise even when a series of missteps leads to 12K layoffs??? It is only asking for more. Even if they eventually fire him who is going to fire them unless the... — read more

I think I'm going to have a coworker leave an HP oscilloscope next to the staircase, so that I accidentally trip over it and fall down stairs...
Then I'll go on disability... You think it will work?
I am going to declare myself a transgender, and use the opposite bathroom at intel. And when HR calls m, I'll scream discrimination...
Think it will work?
I'm thankful I didn't just count on my W2 engineer salary and that I have kids that love me...
If I didn't have anything else and was just an engineer that had to put up with this political/CEO crap all day long, I probably would have already gone insane and blown out my brains. literally
