Yes many folks here are ex employees that hope the company crumbles to the ground.
Yes many folks felt burned by Intel and although many left involuntarily….. many left willingly.
If you are still there, we wish you the best to “survive and advance” every year.
If you are not an RCG and are still at intel there are many reasons you may be there:
1- don’t want to leave your local area (really only a valid reason if you are in Hillsboro because there are like no other jobs).
2- acknowledgement for some of you that grade 9 level pay for Individual contributors is only feasible at faang companies. No one else is going to pay you 250k for “dining program manager”, “logistics manager”, “divestment pm”, “support manager” , “chief of staff for non important director” etc. etc.
3- just be honest, 30 hours per week, great benefits, no one breaking your marbles, no accountability… this alone is a good reason to stay and take your chances!
All that said, highly doubtful there is any bounce back, and for now the market is flooded with Intel resumes.
