It's one thing to try and break the culture that has lead us to this point (a culture that's guided from the top down btw). It's one thing even to trim the payroll in order to do so. But to rewrite the rules for what's considered poor performance, to... — read more 

I don't think I'm in the ISP pool, maybe the VSP pool... I don't know. But I'm so not looking forward to all the 'darkness' that's going to be looming around the campus tomorrow. I think I'll just not turn on my alarm and get there when I get there.

Folks, Will I be impacted by this layoff?

Site closure - How can they shutdown site of by over 50% if only a portion of them fall under ISP and say they don't take the VSP? Is there another way to get people out the door than ISP?

I am not sureally what is my rate at 2014. But I joined intel at June 2014 and I guess ssl4 and this year s ssl3. Can I laid off?

Any updates (Gateway Business Park, Javalera, G. Trias, Cavite)?

SL4 and S 2015 and SL3 and S 2016. Will I be worried???? From the foil seem to be now But hope anybody can answer

I have many friends in other group that would hire me as engineer (before chaos started). Maybe that is not option any more?

Will I be offered VSP?

what are my chances, I have just completed a year at Intel and I received Successful rating as I am still ramping up and have SSL 4 what are my chances of getting laid off

If I had 3 years and 9 months, will I not be pro-rated for all of it? Or just 2 years?

Just worried I will get VSP instead of ERP. I will take the ERP if offered. I am a manger and I do not want to hand out crappy reviews for the rest of my time at Intel.

Earlier some well wishers on this thread suggested that I possibly should start an open door tomorrow. Thanks a lot for that thought (whoever suggested it). But can it put me in risk for receiving the $$$$ package? Does anyone know of any prior ISP... — read more 

Are VSP/ISP's taxed at your regular tax rate? A colleague once told me they were taxed like a bonus.. closer to 50% since they are like a bonus and not regular payroll. Can anybody who's received this before confirm?

I have a surgery planed for Monday. Will they come to hospital to lay me off? My wife says they could do conference call after my surgery.

I am already eligible for retirement by the 55+15 rule and will be eligible on August 10 by the 75 rule. But I meet the ISP criteria (3 consecutive SSL4 with Successful). What happens in my case? I already have a 1:1 scheduled on Monday! What do I... — read more 

I joined as an RCG only in June 2015, got successful SSL3 at my very first focal this year. Am I safe? Are new people more expendable because they lack experience and haven't quite had a chance to prove themselves yet? How will the new people be... — read more 

Conflicting messages on here about payment - The leaked foil says ISP will be 8 weeks pay, plus LOS, plus medical, but another poster on here didn't mention the LOS for ISP just the 8 weeks and medical care. Surely they will get LOS too?

Are the packages same for ISP and VSP?

Looks like they posted layoff timing dates for LAR & GAR. See ACTHub.intel.com And no, I'm not posting internal info to an external site here. If you are an Intel employees you have the ability to see for yourselves.

ISP: On the list are people who received a IR, BE, or S SL4, S SL5 in this past 2016 focal unless received a EE or O in 2015 focal. Does not apply to new hires hired after Jan 1 2015. Applies to all of Intel all countries all groups, including site... — read more
