Less Fun: being terminated with cause means you don't get unemployment.
Know the company policies and follow them.
Or don't if you really, really must spend all day posting on this website.
It's a choice.

It’s Def Met related. The company is freaking out
Not sure if it is because of this but I continue to see people who appear to have left, since the last big wave of departures.
Seems to be happening to individuals, but no one is saying why.
Bring it on!
Thanks OP, I was walked on Friday by HR. arggghh!
It was due to what they considered to be too much time surfing the web.
I wasn't on this site but did probably spend too much time outside the fab goofing off online.
I wanted to go anyway but would have preferred to have the choice.
Agreed spread work every Intel employee should be reading this site
Ah. One problem.
There is no Intel IP on this site.
Mockery. Pointed comments. Grousing. Speculation. Hopes. Sure.
If the best you can do is "surfing the web on company time", but sure to include surfing any and all sites.
Maybe 25% do. Spread the word. All intel employees should at least be. Aware of this site
Go Ahead Make My Day.
Intel luddites don’t know about smartphones.
Party like it’s 1999!
Go ahead and send the link to big brother so they can block it. We all have smart phones in our pockets.
Do people really not know about this site? I would think everyone visits to find out the news and gossip??
Just sent IT a link.
We'll see what happens. Maybe they won't care, or maybe they will.
I'm one of the refired, but am surprised this site is even allowed on the Intel network.
It seems designed to attract obsessive behavior and that is not good for productivity.
Someone should send the link to IT InfoSec to have the site banned from the network.
And yes, InfoSec is a real thing, and serious business. You don't want to go there.
IT is scheduled to audit Def Met teams' communications and internet usage in all US-based fabs in WW04 2025.
IT should be checking met def teams communications and internet usage if they haven’t yet
I just sent IT an email with the link, and suggest other do the same.
Maybe it will generate enough firings to reduce the need for the next layoff.
Seems like a good way to pick out the slackers.
@a7+1jjd1ne00 Anyone wasting company time on the internet should be terminated for cause.
Anyone wishing to remain employed should be focused on their job.
china and india have been violating patents since forever
the corrupt fake elite balance that with how much profit they can make
from using their cheap labor
the loser most of the time of course is the average american worker
who will never get to kick the football
american worker=Charlie Brown
corrupt fake elite=Lucy
Don't let that IP go to China or the U.S. is fu---d. Chinese EUV is about 1 year from production per recent reports. China now poaching South Koreans with $$$$.
Do you know anyone in Infosec? Everyone is blatantly d-mb. Send them to me
@ak+1jjd1ne00 IP is intellectual property.
Infosec is watching the network for patterns and that effort is linked to who is logged into the device, be it personal or company device.
Been many, many cases of IP theft over the years which the company has prosecuted vigorously.
The other issue is where someone is choosing to spend their days messing around on the internet. Infosec has screens for that as well.
It is merely the enforcement of policy, and the people in Infosec take their job a lot more seriously than some of the robo-posters on this site.
Lol! Hahhahahaahaahaa. Really? Coz I can't find a way to get the layoff board to give up I.P.s and we have been trying for years.
This is the BTO RTO guy. Fu-k you should have been let go yesterday
The terms of my employment explicitly call out limitations re trade secrets, not an opinion, regardless if it represents an affront to the ego of another failed leader. In fact, it’s imperative at this point in Intel’s history they be called out. But it’s never cool to place them on a soap box then hoist bananas at them. That would constitute as--ult with a banana
Is that you Vicky? Go fun yourself you d-mb tw-t!
This performance management approach is the best way to do attrition, as it is focused on those who are not even able to comply with company policy.
InfoSec, HR and Legal work as a team to identify and rapidly exit those who are the greatest risk for IP leaks and other violations.
They kick it into high gear any time the company is doing headcount actions, but that is most of the time somewhere in the company.
The way it works is you get a meeting invite then have about 5 minutes to explain why you should not be terminated, but unless you can prove that you are not in violation then off you go, to pretend-work at some other company.
Ok to surf the web but not for hours at a time, and any IP leak is grounds for termination, as it should be.
Have a nice day, BTO/WFH guy.
