Obviously past behavior is no indication of what Intel might do in the future, but a common retirement strategy was to wait until after stock grants, since with rule of 60 you were pretty much immediately vesting if you have 20+ years of service.
My question - did you get a typical grant in the year you retired? I know many who waited until May to get the last round of options/RSUs.
Need to reevaluate my strategy with changes in review cycle
