60, Took the early retirement package. Put the severance money in clm stock which kicks out nice monthly dividend check which pays my mortgage. Car paid off. Do side gigs to make up the rest. Obama care when cobra runs out will keep income low enough to use tax subsidies for that. 401k disbursements for backup income if needed.
Intel paid for my MBA, which I finished a couple of weeks before they announced a downsizing, so I took the package instead of resigning.
I am now a highly-compensated tax God.
Great place to bring the skills you learn and mature by working at Intel is any job that has to do with doing absolutely nothing but taking status updates from others and pass them off as your own.
Nice try. Portland meadows was the last horse race track. So if someone is shoveling horse po-p for a living it isn't at a horse race track.
Lots jobs out there. Be creative and apply ur soft skills. If no jobs then a sign u living in wrong place. Consider relocating to where jobs are.
Bechtel is hiring for jobs to complete the Ohio site.
Added bonus: Columbus is not Portland.
I moved to Cali and shacked up with a welfare princess ! She's rounding up the money and paying the bills while relaxing poolside ! I don't mind I'm living off her dime !
Servin up the hot apple pie.
@jz
was a divorce too costly for you
Used to be an Intel project manager. I had to sell the BMW, drop my membership at the country club and loose the mistress but i’m doing fine now as a shift manager at a local car lot.
One of the first to get a package in 2023. A recruiter got me a job with Samsung as a contractor immediately after leaving Intel with a 25% salary increase. The contract ended at Samsung 18 months later. Now back at Intel in 2025 as a GB contractor with another 30% increase. No free coffee or drinks and fewer responsibilities. I didn't know the base pay was higher for GB.
I was an Intel PowerPoint Master now I shovel cr-p for a living at the local horse track.
I took ERP/CPM back in 2024 and now rehired as a Green Badge (Chandler site).
Skills ? Lol.
I don't believe OP isn't working for Door Dash.
I got a job with Frito Lay working the Doritos line. It's nice being with a company whose chips people actually want.
I'm doing just fine! You'd be surprised how easy it is to transition from Fab Process Technician III to McDonald's Fry Cook!
