We all hear about the complaints from the hard working folks against the bullshitting opportunists who move up at the expense of the really nice hard working people. I am just curious how those opportunists think about their dirty acts. I mean are... — read more 

Is anybody here not planning on taking VSP offer? I've been reading through the posts and it looks like most of those who received it, have taken it or are ready to do it. It would be interesting to hear from those who choose to take a risk to stay.

I would just like to say that I completely understand we are going though a very difficult time at the moment. Doing a restructuring is never easy but we are doing it from a position of strength. It's never easy to lose colleagues especially as many... — read more 

We have be subtle to preserve your dignity and show you respect. But even low performers like you must realize when you are not wanted. We are overworked in HR and even though it's fun reduce a grown man to tears we just don't have the people to... — read more 

Which one? ;-)

They will reduce headcount by 12k and see profits increase by $300m per quarter. The world will not collapse since a manufacturing company like Intel has a lag between revenue and expenses when R&D is cut. They will start another round shortly.

US folks, did anyone receive the ISP agreement package yet

I've heard rumors that Aicha is thinking of running for president after seeing the success of Carly Fiorina. Black lives matter

Get ready for next slaughter especially in the US as another 4-6k heads will roll soon.

It's just an observation that it seems like a lot of intel's exec hires outside of the company tend to be folks that weren't very successful at their former company

It took qualcomm 3 times to buy 3 separate wireless connectivity businesses, and it finally got the last purchase right: CSR Intel tried building it's wireless/mobile business 3 times now. And it's still a miserable failure. With Murthy, make that 4... — read more 

Anyone else notice IT security groups are losing a higher than proportionate number of people to ISP/VSP than other groups? Those roles can take up to a year to get an internal hire up to speed and multiple years to really know what they're doing. A... — read more 

It's every man for yourself

They seems to understand what facebook, tesla, piediepie, samsung, iphone, even qualcom are all about. So I want to pose a challenge to BK and Murthy, if you can make my teenagers understand what Intel is all about, they you get to keep your jobs... — read more

Looks like Qualcomm is struggling too. We have limited time left to decide on that VSP thing. Thank you for sharing your view.

I have heard from more than 10 Intel people now that they wished they were offered VSP's. I believe some of the people who have been offered VSP's are working their assoff because they are in critical projects. Whereas I see people who are not... — read more 

A--hole neighbor when's he's getting the boot

Is this true anyone hear about it?

A friend of mine was offered the ERP. And we know that the ERP was a numbers game, YOS plus age > 75 and it went to you. My friend is not in a financial position to take it. Is there any perceived risk by not taking it? Me, I would take it and run... — read more 

https://www.thelayoff.com/t/Huj4Mch Lol. You think it's better at Intel? Need we remind you guys that you guys now have Murthy and a lot of former ineffective Qualcommer's? Lol, the joke is on you. Don't worry, rest assured, that not only is intel... — read more 

...and this pull back by the fools Andy Bryant and BK will cost Intel like they've never seen. The 97 pull back cost Intel badly for the next 5 years. Intel hasn't a sense of direction or who they are anymore. Chasing high margins all these years is... — read more 

Not likely. I survived the dot Com crash lay offs at intel. Otellinis 2005 layoffs and now 2 more. Grip and complain about h1b but intel needed to cut back. And to be honest some workers just sucked. Sometimes you are the a list actor you think you... — read more 

Manager mentioned that HR is rolling out ACT efficiency phase training for managers in affected groups but she won't know details till next week. Sounds like new hatchet job. Any more info?

Short name for the Law: Eleven Eleven. Every similarity with Seven Eleven is just a pure coincidence. Interesting Law... I am asking myself, how long Krzanich's Law will last? 10 years? 20 years? 100 years? Or till INTEL existence seize?! Anybody... — read more 

I think that one thing that is lost on everyone is not the layoffs or Intel's incompetent management, but our basic philosophy and the philosophy of much of American High Tech. In the 60s every baseball team had a Boog Powell; the guy who struck out... — read more 

Seems fair

I received an email "your profile looks like a good match for open reqs here contact me directly to expedite your app process". Not affected by VSP or ISP this round but who knows next year..

Looks like someone else got 10nm already out and working. Interesting times at Intel, going to be busy time in Hillsboro, how can they afford to lose anyone with the state of things and so many projects to do. Apple has gone all in on the 7nm too... — read more 

If you've received an appeal decision: How did Intel notify you? (Phone? Email? Snail Mail? Carrier pigeon?) What was the result? (Denied? Successful? Referred for ODI?)
