If they don’t make VSP available to everyone the office will be filed with hostages begging to leave. If people decide to walk there won’t be any handoffs. This place is over and anyone who left is lucky.

Free coffee is still available in TD. How many thousands of $$$ are we throwing down the drain every month by continuing the free coffee? Why not pay the ELT staff for one extra day with that money?

Not that it really matters. But human psychology is a wonder. I’m hoping for greater chances for each one of us if VSP takers count. In reality, none of it will make much difference. Given the state of Intel and its uncertain future, I wouldn’t be... — read more

Or will they still do another full 15% ISP of remaining population … PG did imply minimum was 15% so maybe this way the total involuntary layoff still comes in at what he stated but the reduction is substantially more which would please investors?

Lunar lake will smoke AMD.

Any information regarding layoff headcount numbers in TD? Rumors as many people took retirement.

Is this destruction of value or what? Gelsinger is turning Intel into Kodak (best case scenario) or Enron. So sad.

When do we expect ISP notifications to start ? I can't imagine it waiting till Oct 1st and notices may go out sooner. End date would be Nov 15th either way

I heard from a reliable source that it is under 5000 people. This means 10000 more people will have to leave via ISP. Does anybody have additional info on this?

Crazy to think about but this will be the absolute last Labor Day ever for some of us as employed citizens.

I wonder what the market would do with Intel stock if a reorg happened at CEOs level?

One love folks. It does not do to dwell on a company's fortune or mis fortune forgetting to live. We (Intel) will be alright come what may. Gracias

American company to pump brakes on DEI. Intel should follow to save more money.
