Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

Has anyone taken redundancy from Intel and signed a no rehire but have rejoined the organisation in Ireland.

I was ISP'ed 7 yrs. ago. But Intel gave a very sweet deal of close to 2 yr. salary. I found something almost right away. Pay has risen faster than I could have ever imagined at Intel and I now make about 2x of what I was making in 2015. Why would I ever come back?

I loved working at Intel. I enjoyed the challenge and even the pressure (a lessor enjoyment). I looked forward to doing my job and in the process, derived my self satisfaction.

It slowly changed, in Intel's push for for inclusion, it lost sight of its core. HR became infested by disgruntled ra-----s with an agenda. It drove the push away from excellence to pursue mediocrity. Those already protected by the 1964 law, for the most part, do not perform to Intel's' requirements. In every group I was in, we met or exceeded our goals. However there was always those in the group that had to be carried. You eventually have to accept the dead weight. This was why the loss of a performer, became so critical. I watched as they left and my job became a grind. Finally the dead weight came to above 20% and we started to fail intermittently. We started to loose managers on almost a schedule.

The dead weight accumulated on the most preferred shifts, and was the most vocal and visible. Their complaints about the workload became complaints of harassment and discrimination. It was at this point that I changed my mind about Intel. I began looking for an out.

I was finally given it. I took an early retirement option in 2016. I left Intel with patent-able IP and 15 years of dedicated service. I knew that I would never return, so I completely divested my 401ks' and pensions. SERMA is a joke. It is an add-on to advantage plans and is useless to the retiree. So this is my input to this forum. I know there is a WOKE bloke that will reply - good riddance. My response is HA HA HA...

I will watch the news. Intel will not change until it replaces its HR department as a precondition of returning to relevance.

People should be going to work "to work". Stop the interest groups, the safe places, and prayer rooms. They do not contribute to the bottom line.

Yay people who sucked come back to work and get that promo they haven’t given you yet!!!!

The same broken culture that allowed ACT to happen is alive and well. Thanks but no thanks

I was forced out due to awesome management in 2016. Got my 2 year pay package. Never looked back since. Funny how in the past few years I get calls, would you come back? Yeah no, not selling my soul again.

The first thiing that needs to happen is for Pat to send a letter of appology to all the folks that were framed in 2015/2016 layoffs.

“A number of years have passed since the 2015/2016 restructuring and those impacted may have new and additional skills that are valuable to Intel’s current business strategies”.

So they only want them for the “new” skills they couldn’t acquire at Intel, or is it just a case of Intel not being willing to admit their mistakes about firing good people with valuable “old” skills. Either one doesn’t reflect well on Intel.

This was posted like 2 weeks ago. Agree that ACT people should move on to greener pastures

It is HR Legal's response to lawsuits.

I've got a buddy who was railroaded 2 yrs ago so a dude in AZ could take his job. Could he comeback now? The managerment has changed, so there shouldn't be any animosity.

Who is really going to come back after 7 years? This is more symbolic than anything, it's way too much time to expect anyone to find their way back.

Intel has lost so many due to attrition now HR desperately needs to find people to hire.

BK's damage to Intel just keeps on giving.

"Hey, you were fired 6 years ago by a bunch of corrupt third-worlders, do you want to come back to work for the same corrupt third-worlders who have consolidated their power even more and turned the entire company into their village?"

“A number of years have passed since the 2015/2016 restructuring and those impacted may have new and additional skills that are valuable to Intel’s current business strategies”

This is just wishful thinking. With a broken Focal process and the way victims were treated and abandoned in ACT 2016 (declared as no re-hire), would anyone with dignity and self-respect re-join a sinking ship ? Besides, with how things are going nowadays there may well be a massive lay-offs coming in the next few years.

Have some self respect, what kind of loser re-joins the biggest losers in the industry.
