The board has not discussed a key indicator called profit per capita. The 12K people, making total Intel population about 95K, will bring Intel to the bottom of the high tech company distribution. Statisticians will tell you they want to be "average"... — read more

Does any know of any recent NM transfers to OR got let go?

What are the odds that the no-rehire clause is attached to them? Assume that all non-taken VSP's convert to ISP's. I'd like to think that they'd rehire these people like they would with people who took the VSP. But they do seem to be warning very... — read more 

VSPs do not seem eligible. You can receive between $126 to $240 per week for at most 26 weeks. I would guess most Intel ISPs would fall closer to the $240. And you still have to pay taxes.

Maybe all those who have taken the VSP/ERP (obvious the ISP since they had no choice) outside of work should wear a small blue arm band on the left. A show of solidarity. Of knowing who we are and can come up to each other and discuss our stories and... — read more

Don't give into the threat of next package not being as good. You will get 6-9 months of paychecks to make up for any decrease in severance for the next round of layoffs.

Getting out now? Waiting for a better price like 32-34? Keep them and get the dividends? Sell some and diversify the portfolio?

Intel isn't that significant. Its a small piece of reality that we must realize good things comes to an end, but remember there is a purpose and a reason for everything, so whatever is brought forth to you one must say "all praise is to God and to... — read more

If data center is projected cash cow for company, perhaps this is route Intel should take? Anybody familiar with any rumors about BK and DB?

BK, BOD, MCM and HR can all SMD, ES&D. Intel can shove the POS VSP where the sun doesn't shine,

How will German sites handle ISP when workers can't be fired in performance criteria?

I mean, for those who got ISP'd for SSL4/5, was time-in-grade officially cited as the reason? We all pretty much assume that time in grade leads to VSP; however, we don't quite know what the real consequence of getting VSP is yet, perhaps none since... — read more 

Anybody with inside info ahead of mtg with Ari on Tues about how hard the axe will fall on VPG?

If taking the offer are you staying in the same tech career. Branch out into some sideways in the non tech sector or government. Work for Starbucks ☕️

25 yrs at Intel, 100 days short in qualifying for ERP, received VSP offer because of three S/L3 and long time in grade, never received L4/slow/IR. Only person in the team with some special technical skills, which suddenly became more important with... — read more
