63 years old with 9+ years at Intel. Did 5 years as a contractor before that. Consequently everyone assumes I was eligible for the enhanced retirement but I wasn't. Nor was I offered a VSP. Virtually everyone I know over 60 is taking the retirement... — read more 

If the ISP is overturned and meanwhile a new job has been offered else where, is there possibility to take the ISP pay out and not go back to Intel and join the new job? What should be strategy to benefit from the package? Any advise is appreciated.

Whether you have ISP or VSP, how many months can you live your savings? I assume a lot of people ah e mortgages paid since due to the demographic being offered by vsp.

We have heard about Arizona, and Ireland Fab Job cuts, not much about Israeli fab layoffs. What is happening over there?

Interesting article BK published in Huff Post today, he says he will share data publicly. Perhaps Intel ees affected by the past two layoffs should petition to see the race/ethnicity data for the turnover from 2015 & 2016. Let's see if he's "doing... — read more

This blog has many posts reprentng all Intel groups/divisions. It appears the one common issue is poor leadership by the management because these people no longer have the capacity to manage (by definition). They are simply out to protect their own... — read more 

Did anyone find out about the PC refresh program being pulled in or not? I'm basing my VSP decision on whether I can get new laptop or not if I stay.

Just like Welch, Intel management team has had no compassion for its employees. Intel let the most hard working loyal employees go humiliating them on the way out and even after they were gone. However, when GE announced significant layoffs, with... — read more

If you want 10% return get a hold of me!

I still have the power point presentation from the PTD Culture class we had many years ago. The leader(s) at the time (back when we had actual leaders instead of managers) knew we were losing something unique and crucial to Intel's success. They... — read more
