Do you know someone that left last year, either volunteer or involuntarily? What are they doing now?

Few are down on oak st in Hillsboro
@rs Sounds great! You can advertise it to those who stayed so they have what they need to grease up their upper management. Oh wait, those bros are the ICs now. 😂
I am planning to open a bar called the Grease Monkey.
More time with the family, fishing, golfing, and enjoying life. But I was ready to retire. Also wasn’t an intel lifer. Always wanted to work there throughout my career, but as they say the pasture always looks greener on the other side. The technical folks were fun to work with but the bureaucracy really su-ked. Took way too long to get something done. Managers that were born and raise at Intel were too worried about stirring the pot and covering their a$$. But I do wish everyone well and hope Intel can resolve current issues and come out stronger than ever. Best of luck to you guys and gals that are still fighting the good fight.
I left over a year ago. Found a new gig quick but it was great timing. Others I know are still looking ranging from 6-12 months. Sadly I still visit this site as part of healing. Intel caused such stress and emotional toll to last a lifetime. Like a beat dog… it takes time to venture out of the cage even when the beating stops and door is left open. Still conditioned that another beating is coming. It’ll take years to cleanse myself from the beatings at Intel. Watching now from afar and making strides in recovery.
Learning mandarin. :)
Left a few months ago. Interviewed for a bunch of positions until I found one I liked (Nvidia su-ks BTW, it's just another Intel). There are opportunities out there. They might not pay as much as Intel, but the amount of nonsense is way lower. Less PowerPoint too.
I had saved up a lot so I started my own thing. Recruiters keep reaching out - I don't think things are that bad. Stress is way, way, way down, lost a lot of weight.
I'm casually looking, had a couple hits but it didn't work out.blood pressure and weight naturally dropped. It's worth it if you saved and paid off your bills. Glad I never bought a dum--ss BMW! 😂
Sleeping well, enjoying life. Working and making less than at Intel but doing ok and can live on this easy. Off all meds and stress way down. Can't buy a new car but since I don't RTO, that's ok.
@a9 Hang in there, brother. Just binge drink like me.
Right now I'm wasting time reading yet another troll post asking everyone what they are doing?
As if OP actually cares.
I know a couple that have been unsuccessful finding a job yet.
Some at NVIDIA, some at AMD, some at Qualcomm and other companies. Everybody happy. But I am quite happy too
