A gaggle of ex-Intel board directors have called on the chipmaker to spin off its floundering foundry business while glossing over the fact that a company bleeding billions each quarter is unlikely to survive on its... — read more
ISP request
Is it too late to request one? A handful were denied VSP, then later denied ISP as well for any separation package.
Is there really a chance for Intel to survive and prosper?
I’ve been with Intel for a long time. I initially really enjoyed my work. Had great colleagues in my team - with some I remained close friends after they left Intel. My mgmt at the time had a drive and was competent. Even with all the usual work... — read more

Why bother with layoffs?
What's the point of laying people off just to save some cash when the same problematic leaders remain in charge? A lot of executives who’ve made poor decisions for way too long are still at Intel - starting with Pat - keeping their cushy salaries and... — read more

What’s your latest experience with job search?
I’ve been consistently looking for another job for months now. Is the job market getting increasingly bad, or is it my subjective experience? I’ve been getting less offers lately, and next has always been worse than previous. Does anybody have any... — read more
Geography spread of layoffs ?
I wonder what the geo spread is of the layoff worldwide. Evenly spread or perhaps more weighed towards lay offs outside of US? And also is it more focused on manufacturing or not ?
What to do ? other things to sign for ?
For those ISPed, sign up for the cobra health insurance? and what else Honestly, feeling down so much , not sure what everyone is doing. Even thinking taking some rest

What else do we get?
For those 7 and up, did we get the cash value already of our ‘thank you’ stock? Was it in the original check? I know we get the Q3 bonus after the earnings announcement, but my guess is it will be same as the last one. $50. And I k w next year we... — read more

Layoffs would be planned more seriously
If there ever was an intention to dig Intel out of the hole. We are losing competent people left and right. Firstly, people who took VSP were in many cases those who have been confident that they can find another good job, therefore useful, and opted... — read more

Layoffs should be the last option
It seems that layoffs are always Intel's first choice when there are other ways to cut costs that would not affect the entire workforce as much. How about reducing non-personnel costs or offering voluntary layoffs to everybody, for example? Why does... — read more

Boss says everyone is safe, but it doesn't add up
My boss said layoffs are over and we werne't affected, but I think they are just trying to keep people working overtime for free. So they say over half of the 15000 job cuts have been completed through VSP, so adding a generous 8000 VSP to the... — read more

Huge layoffs coming in November before the holidays
This layoff will effectively wipe out the company. There is no sanctuary for anyone. The intel lies over the years has finally caught up with them.
Broken news: Intel couldn’t make up any number for upcoming earning call.

Ok all the talent is gone now…. What remains?
Anyone with any ounce of ambition has left. What is remaining…. probably just sitting ducks. No one wants to look at an Intel resume resume now. They’ve seen way too many!!
