Here, I said it. I can’t take this sh-t anymore. I don’t care how long it will take for me to find another job. I want my severance and to be on my merry way. After I’m gone, I don’t want to hear ever again about Intel and its troubles. I want to go to my next workplace, do my job in a somewhat organized way, and then go home, watch some sports.

I am almost positive you do not want to get laid off. Check out the severance to see if it is really worth it, but FFS have a job lined up before you leave, and then get out. Why wait? For money? Come on. Sanity is way more important. I spend two days driving in with a sinking feeling in my gut. I cried in the parking lot and realized I was done. This was not the life for me. I gave notice and walked away with about $12,000 less than I would have had I gotten a package, and went on to a job I like that pays the same with better benefits. Above all, unemployment su-ks!! It is a full-time job looking for work. If you don't take the time, you are not even going to get offers.
We all want to get laid it's incel
Just hang on a week or two more. You will get your wish
It's easy to get laid off, you just keep asking questions in meetings and they will give you the notice in no time.
@wto not everyone was eligible for ERP/VSP nor had a manager willing to sign them up for ISP. But good effort on trying to sound all-knowing.
They are still paying you so just hang on.. unemployment is not cool.
Go for the next VSP if you want but you probably want to get a job ready first.
It will get worse but you really want to time it right.
The next layoffs will have a reduced severance package. This is the way this progresses.
You chose to skip the VSP/ISP and trusted your manager. We told you not to trust them and take the VSP/ISP, but you didn't listen. Maybe you were scared that you would be called a lazy b-m, but now you know what the right decision was. Unfortunately you have to experience the painful lesson from your decision. At least it is painful enough so that you will always remember next time it happens again.
Your not smart if u voluntarily want to enter this dismal tech job market. You better have a good offer prior ro leaving. I was laid off early this year and would ki-l to get my intel job back.
Opi--ds may assist dealing with reality until you achieve the mediocrity you describe
Yes, if there is the next VSP or ER, then just take it. People who left Intel earlier all land in better positions and better life.
If you are so distressed mentally, then just go. Waiting to pick up scraps on the floor in the form of severance is not worth it.
And timing the job market for severance while there's a flood of other laid off people also looking is not worth it. If you go to the right place, an uptick in your starting RSU valuation will absolutely demolish whatever severance Intel throws your way.
It is not all bad. The experiences at Intel will help you to appreciate your new job.
