To this day we don't know if all the layoffs that were announced months ago have been completed. We don't know what's coming next and we have no idea if any of us are safe at this point. How does Intel management expect us to be able to concentrate and be productive under these circumstances?

Sorry but it's classified and only on a "need to know" basis.
What do you want to know.
Ask us we will answer
It will look bad for CHIPS money application if they reveal the actual number of employees laid off.
We, in the biz, call that life!
How about being proactive and just quit. You can’t get laid off if you quit you know.
Transparency is an Intel value :-)
When it suits them
If you don't know, you are next.
