In 2016, all people who took VSP were good workers who got a job elsewhere quite easily
Of the people who were given ISP, most employees who were given ISP because of just one stock level-4 were actually good employees.
Of the employees given ISP due to IR/BE etc, some of them were good employees.
So most workers that were thrown out were good. Almost all bad ones remained there :) The Intel-HR guys are geniuses!
This trend of layoffs at Intel will go on. Unfortunately Intel is on its last legs but companies like Intel and AMD cant close down because they are a matter of national security
