Not that we can claim short term disability or we can participate in SPP, but they still took STD and SPP out of the last paycheck.

I am exploring new jobs and want to know if i am getting a promotion or not. I will share the outcome. I am grade 7 with VSP. Thanks and good luck in job searches.

Or is it the same and we need to get out of this particular rat race.

I am really stressed due to recent and upcoming layoffs. Have been 9 years here and I'm not sure I can stand the humiliation of being kicked out after giving my heart and soul to this company. I am thinking about resigning, even though I didn't get a... — read more 

I am doing well but constantly keep my resume relavent, linked in updated, and knowledge base growing. I would say 60 to 65% of layoffs are low performers. Hate to break it to the 40% out there you are not a special snowflake. I went on interviews... — read more

We all know what she did to HP and now it's Intels turn with Murthy.

Many years ago Focal meant something. You may not have liked the answer but when management had an issue with you there was no confusion. Today, well you can get a successful and still be fired for performance because of your stock level was a level... — read more 

Intel cuts 11000 to "please" the stockholder. As an employee and stockholder, intel stock is "stagnant" for the last 15 years. That's the label they use that received VSP and are on the chopping block. The stockholders should all get together and ISP... — read more 

All yahoo folks got the 2016 H1B lottery, how come? Looks like they have lobbied to USCIS. It need to be investigated to help other folks who haven't made into a lottery.

Can anyone else smell the routing carcus of a once great company?

James why do you think they failed so spectacularly? It's obvious Sir ...

Seems like 2014 hires had a disadvantage since they were considered new and managers tried to save long timers within their group.

BK frantically repositioning defensively to halt Murthy power. Why else would you keep Aicha on board?

Rumor has it that several SSG enabling projects are about to get axed. If you're aware of any projects getting cancelled, please post them here.

It looks like a $1bn monument to a failed plan. How many people work maintaining that baby?

I am sure I will get a lot of clowns responding to this, but if just 1 or 2 replies are legitimate I may be able to find some useful information.

No one will lose their job in Europe. More losses shifted onto the US worker in the coming weeks.

Hope this is just rumor

Today I had such a weird conversation with my manager, I don't know how else to describe it. He told me that my position now has an additional requirement that I hold a H1B visa. And that in order to qualify for it I will have to denounce my US... — read more

Just accepted the VSP. AZ is like living in hell and Intel is dead. So happy I can't sit still. No job offer either. Just sick and tired of all the BS. Good bye and good luck to all :)

They buy a drone company and then fly drones in the night sky (http://www.ibtimes.com/intel-pilots-100-coordinated-drones-night-sky-forming-surreal-light-show-2364931). I'm sure the folks who worked on this project will get EEs/SL1 cuz BK got to be... — read more

Intel's record in SOC has not been great. Do you really think that if Otellini said "Yes" then Intel would have delivered on function, power, cost and schedule? Surely Apple would have multiple bidders that would have delivered ahead of Intel anyway... — read more 

Are investigators getting assigned to your case and do they ask more questions or do they simply come back with yes/no(mostly) answer?

Does it mean they will buyback the VSP or will they will buy/urge the employee by offering some incentive to stay with the project?

I have been coasting at Intel for past 15 years with good pay. Unfortunately, I do not have the marketable skills needed to work for another company. I have been able to cruise for many years by talking my way through things and am pretty good with... — read more

Many founders at successful companies would have been laidoff at Intel due to the toxic culture, politics, and focal games. Intel lost its way and innovations are not value anymore. This will is why Murthy and BK fit so well at Intel.
