Hello again,
This is a bit beyond the cases we hold... age, stock level and bad reputations because of performance issues. We need to change the way Intel operates and chances are that in the big picture we in fact can change it. This not only for you, it is for the amount of people we collectively represent, those who are in the same case and their families. Intel was a great company. Looking at their financials this quarter, they profited because of a TAX exception without it Intel would report 43 c a share instead of 55 c and that would be a problem prediction for the stock. This is in other words so much for the but pronounced layoffs are coming and the company is going downwards.
My proposal is 3 points:
1) Get back to what we know is ours legally.
We probably will not get our jobs back and the layoff is erroneous and the process is not giving you a chance to move forward. Who will find a job with these issues and notes on your references. This point will focus on:
a) Redeployment is activated for 3-6 months.
b) Training to gain other skills is also activated 3-6 months.
c) Ability to reach out externally to expose to other companies during this time.
2) Innovation on new businesses.
With the redeployment is also possible to create and to innovate. People will be allowed to network and interact to create some ideas for new businesses cases. These mean a set of groups with engineering-finance-business areas to elaborate on the plans. We may have all those within the layoff so then let them work together.
a) Groups are organized to create ideas- selected program managers are listed and members as well.
b) Selected ideas and potential ones are presented and funded. This is within a partnership consulting company paid by Intel e.g. BTS.com
c) Employ yourself and growth your own business.
3) Leadership and strategy skills- results oriented
Most of people in Intel lack these set of skills, the focal has no metrics and we need to polish them altogether. We need the set of skills and leverage our mentorship, coaching and networking. The proposal here lies into creating a place where people can voice problems to solve, needs, businesses attributes, economic values and leadership.
a) Need a Dale Carnegie training program activated for the people on the program.
b) Form groups of leadership and strategy learning at Intel.
c) Create audits and metrics on how this helps Intel to develop people careers and leadership.
I am convinced that we can strike and that is a way to get our attention going. However our way to address the problem is totally different. We would like to help to overcome the problems not simple however this is chance to get it back and work for it. No short cuts, we embrace where we are and will help to come back.
Any comments please send those. e.g. 84 people views and only 2 replies, really? lets be aggressive and proactive to this.
Rgds,
Intel 101
