Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

Group Losers

20 year retired Air Force veteran desperately needs your help. I'm a Husband a Father and a Grandfather. Im not just a number 3 years ago I was finally hired by Intel. I was so happy that I told the lady that called me and gave me the offer if I could reach through the phone and hug her. It was my dream job its all I wanted to do after I got out of the military . In my three years at Intel I treated everybody with respect . I'm one of those guys that holds doors open for women. Yes sir yes ma'am no ma'am that's just how I was raised .I treated the ladies that cleaned the gown room and the people that work in the cafe with the same dignity and respect. Every morning in the gown room I got a whole hand full of booties and passed them out , simple acts of kindness can go a long way. In my 20 year US AIR FORCE career many verbs were used to describe me outstanding, superior promote ahead of peers. Some of the verbs used to describe me at Intel by my GL were problem child and liar, this is the same guy that on the third occasion when he said what I did in the military didn't matter anymore I told him it mattered a lot to me and my family and to never say that to me again. A few months later I took him to HR when he threatened me with a written warning and a BE. HR with him in the room said, I wasn't getting a written warning or a BE. When Focal time came around I received a pay raise and was Successful he told me he was giving me any stock due to the couple of coaching session we had. I wasn't going to argue about it I just let it go.and he moved on to 1272. On my first 1on1 with the new GL HE told me I was his Need improvement and would have a very difficult time being successful this year. This is a guy that came from Fan 11 X just a couple of months prior. On shift 6 I did did scando WPO, and never failed an audit in 1 and 1/2 years. This man harassed me for the next few months In his eyes I could do nothing right. I work in SST and was the first one on my shift to be certed in GST. I went to shift 7 to train for a couple of months and on my second night back on shift 6 my GL says to me and I quote" I don't understand stand it Jim Mcgrew the shift 7 GL had nothing but good things to say about you, you've only been back a couple of nights and you've frustrated me numerous times. At this point I replied oh you don't understand it, let me explain it to you then, YOUR the problem. The next Tuesday I called the area manager and told him nothing bad about my GL , but what was good about me I showed him my last performance report from the Air Force and told him don't worry I wasn't after his job. We concluded the meeting and he was going to look at moving me to SH 7 with Jim McGrew. I must tell you Jim was the best boss and one of the greatest leaders ever. The following week, second night back on SH 6 MY GL gave me a written warning. I was so upset I had to PA . Before I left I went to the nurse who verified and documented that I should go home and that I was having a panic attack..In the military we use the chain of command to solve problems at the lowest level. You are the last link I've exhausted the rest. I am a man of integrity and honor. What I have told you here is all TRUE. PLEASE do what is right your decision will affect the REST of my families LIFE. THANK YOU.

Doug Caval

SH 7 SST MT

My GL not following your own policy letter which describe that this was a private matter. He met me in front of the gown room at shift change and walked me out past all my peers

holy shìt, yeah 1272 is a fúckup- makes the whole place toxic. especially when they turn it into a bootcamp for the young managers. nothing like any discipline. they don't know any better. just the next generation of inbred sociopaths.

I want to say sorry for those who had spent hours with my genitals rubbing on your arm. You should have warned me if it was bothering you. I am an old guy, do you know how easy it is to sustainability keep it up? I lose the feelings a long time ago. I came to conclusion that I am also delusional, and this explains why I am always singing. I just wanted everybody to feel happy and jolly. I did also smoke, but I did it because my joints gets cold so smoking keeps me warm. You guys don't understand what happens when you get older and you start forgetting what reality is. Coming to work I was confused if I was a cook, front cashier register or a custodian. I had to remind myself that I work inside the FAB not in GPTW.

WPO because of your work ethic? For those of you that don't know that stands for Work Place Organization, and its one of hundreds of Intel busy work duties that should take about 15 minutes out of someones day.

That is the prime example of your contribution to Intel? Next you're going to brag about Safety Teams and JHA!

You know thats real goes to show the kind of people. I was not like they said. The driving thing is like I told GL "NONE OF YOUR GODDAMN BUSINESS!" its funny call me old then say I drive fast ha ha. Its easy to say things about when you dont have the guts to put your name on it. I have been one of the best when I was Air Force, and was always a hard worker and polite while at Intel. I was promoted to MASTER SERGEANT! Look it UP! At Intel I was chosen to be WPO because of my work ethics. Very few people achieve this rank! I made some mistakes WHO DOES NOT!. I dare the piece of garbage who call me lazy SAY IT TO MY FACE! I stand behind work I do every time, every place I have worked. To all the people who are with me THANK YOU! It makes me feel good to know I am not alone. I was THROWN out for NO GOOD REASON. I will be taking action as that is what I was trained to do in the military. I dont mean anything bad like you people are guessing. I will be utilizing my friends in HR and legal help to get my position back and my GROUP LOSER removed!

Does Anon 133945 have a point? He simply suggests that no one would agree on any unfavorable opinion some one else has about him or her, so? What is the point? Do you suggest the opinion is true and fair regardless? People are debating the substance. You need to do a little thinking before saying to make a point.

Anon 133945 - Intel does not play fair. They are sneaky and conniving. The way Intel went about this last layoff was not right. Nobody knew what the different stock levels meant....even managers didn't know. Intel never got the word out on the stock level meanings to the employees so many folks were blindsided in this ISP. We all know now what they mean though. So it will be different the next time around. HR will be seeing a lot more folks next focal.

In all fairness to Intel, does any person who has ever been fired ever think they deserved it? Has anybody who has ever received a bad Focal review believe they deserved it? Does anybody actually believe they are a below average driver?

Hi Doug - sorry to hear about your situation - I see a lot of rude comments that you don't deserve and I don't have the inclination to read them

I was laid off after 20 years - it has been a big shock.

Without factual detail about your situation it doesn't make sense to comment. There is likely to be lawsuits against Intel of some form - if you think you have a case, talk to an attorney - if they will take the case without you paying anything up front then pursue it. I am not sure that class action makes sense - there is definitely a case for age discrimination but many people had medical issues and were dismissed illegally which is a stronger case. It shouldn't take much to get Intel to settle as these lawsuits are bad publicity.

In the mean time - I don't think it makes sense to look back. The employee assistance program will provide a certain amount of counseling and I highly recommend that you use it - you need to be able to get some perspective.

The best kick in the behind you could give Intel is to go and get another job.

Good luck

Anon 133698, just to be clear, there are exceptions to Employment at Will (I don't know what the case is with the OP). Most comments on these threads are about OLDER folks getting ISP that were rated "successful" and were totally blindsided. Very good possiblility that that could be illegal age discrimination.

If you weren't given the option to stick around until the 15th, (and you make no mention of severance) you were not part of the ISP, you got fired.

You (and many other posters on this site) may need to lookup the defenitions of "Employment at Will" and "Right to Work"

You're wrong when you say Intel won't hire a 40 year old, 132672... They hired me over 15 yrs ago when I was in my early 40's. I'm still there FWIW.

Although I guess technically you were right. I wasn't "40" if I was in my "early 40's", now was I? lol

Who would work at Intel? Layoffs are a constant threat and arbitrary unless you are older. Everyone seems to hate their job and also appear to run scared every day.

Where else can autistic, socially retarded people make decent money?

Looks like this Doug guy was a very bad hire in the first place. The Intel manager probably wanted brownie points for hiring a veteran, but talent and skills actually matters for success at Intel.
