Miserable son of a * Let it out folks

If not, it could be you, man. Hope the resume is ready.

I just got the axe. 15+ years, and yes they cooked up this performance rationale out of necessity to protect themselves, ... and yes there has been a lot of other questionable business done here. But at the end of the day I am wondering who is... — read more 

Very quiet here from HR etc in UK so I'm assuming that quota of 3.5k heads being cut for ISP leaked last week on that foil was just US and not including Europe? Cus I imagine there is more than 3.5k in US alone right who have SSL 4 and 5 and IR?

Don't understand why people cry. It's a natural process. If our family must move to another state or we found a better job, we have the right to separate from Intel and likewise, Intel has the right to separate from us if needed to downsize. I held... — read more 

Andy died March 21. Intel began announcing VSPs/ISPs on April 25. I'm glad he doesn't have to see this.

I don't "know" but I think I remember hearing that the hsa isn't truly tied to the company... just that intel is paying the account fee. That means vsp or isp, you would have to start paying for the account fee yourself I think. Does anyone "know"... — read more

'nuff said

I happened to save my pay letter email attachment this year, but I was wondering if there was a way to look up my past pay letters to see my stock level history.

intel created a new level for annual performance review, under BE (below expectation), BK ... be killed.

Any news if impact to folks in the Plano, TX location (fmr. McAfee building)?

Heard that they will generously vest all unvested RSU to you. Is that true?

So far so good ... so far so good ... so far so good . " But the important thing is not the fall . It's landing.

Very funny, and to some extent true - here is the post: @H8MXdSj

Talking to many ex HP friends it feels like BK is mirroring what Fiorina did for HP. Massive layoffs, weak leadership, outsourcing of American jobs…etc.

Finally got my 1:1 meeting schedule at 2 pm today. Been waiting for it.

Intel currently has the WORST management and "leadership" I've ever seen in my life! It's comprised of lying, manipulative, backstabbing, depraved, globalist, corporate-fascism-sympathizing morons that know nothing about managing anything except... — read more 

A thought for G7+ folks: before 2012, managers could either put raise increase dollars into base pay or they could put it into EB target. Since EB target gets 3X multiplied, it made more sense to do that. After 2012, they changed the rule so EB... — read more 

Have been retired from Intel for several years now but kept close in touch with my peers. It is so true, one of the comments said; there are wolf packs that they move together, upward mostly, and watch each others backs. Several I know in the GSS... — read more 

I already received two people with similar problem as discussed on this thread https://www.thelayoff.com/t/H7gTqeF Please, if you are/were in the same boat, read this thread and send me an email that I will inform what law firm I am using. Let's sue... — read more 

as a remembrance of your last moments in intel campus :(

No news from Europe region as well..... Does anyone know?

Received 1:1 calendar... expecting to be escort out... will my manager drive me back home?

So its gone all quiet in the UK on this - I'm not sure anything is actually happening - Any ideas?

I was laid off from Intel prior to all this but after being off for a bit I have to say I don't miss it a bit. People outside of Intel actually speak english. I don't have to look up what they just said in an acronym dictionary. No BHAGS, BUMS, etc... — read more
