Is that even fair? Given the semi-secret layoff from last year, one could pretty safely assume HR saw this coming looooong ago and acted to save only their own as$*s exclusively!

Other non HR groups did new focal this year too - we did. Results and SSL numbers are the same process but you just talk with FLM, no paperwork.
HR does get SSL. And they do get laid off. I got laid off last year. I had transferred to IT in January -- the new job was listed to a grade level higher than I was. My old HR team had no incentive to give me good stock of course.
I also know of at least 1 guy in HR who got laid off this year. He had been with Intel for 20 years. I also know a few more who took VSP.
My new manager said there was no FOCAL info/documentation in the system, just a "successful" and SSL 4. There was nothing he could do to save me.
HR is under a new focal pilot but you still get a SSL and can get an IR if warranted. HR also got headcount reduction targets in the same range as everybody else in all of this.
I would not doubt it. If you are one of the team, you Weill be spared.
I think it is over for this company. Let's get going.
