I received an ISP and was kicked out of the building in the most inhumane way imaginable.
I was a grade 9 with 18 years of service at Intel. From the time I was delivered the ISP news by HR to when I was out of the building, it took only 20 minutes. They only allowed me to go to my desk while escorted by my manager to get my car keys... — read more
It’s all over but the crying
It’s all over but the crying now. For some, leaving Intel will be the best thing that ever happened to them – for other it will be a blow they never recover from. Myself, I am disappointed that I did not get an ERP or VSP – I would have been happy to... — read more
Chobani, the yogurt company CEO could show INTC about employee appreciation
To see a yogurt company CEO (He is Turkish I believe), personally give out 10% stock of his pre-IPO company, and more importantly, share it on his own, in an open manner is an eye opener. It's not always about money, or stock .. we want to feel... — read more

Life Is Good In The Corner Suite: Highest-Paid CEOs See Pay Jump Despite Dismal Performance
As most Americans have resigned themselves to the fact that merit increases are a thing of the past, and yearly reviews will only yield a pat on the back and new goals for the upcoming year, life is still good in the corner suite. CEO's are still... — read more
"Diverse" new hires at my site have been consistently pushed ahead.
It's blatant and completely out of control. I'm not racist or sexist. Some of the diverse hires have been great people and I admire them greatly. But I've consistently seen management give them the best opportunities and special treatment, despite... — read more
