I wish everyone who offered vsp/erp accept it. Intel will not be able to handle it - huge expense and loss of hard working and smart people - and realize it's mistake. it has become a horrible place to work.
lucky are the ones leaving. god bless those of us left behind.
For those left this should be a wake up call to get your house in order and ready for whatever comes after Intel.

twn has it right. II you are in a position to leave, take the ERP.
I saw something like this coming last June when a highly productive older engineer at my grade level was ISP'ed via the secret criteria. So I got my ducks in a row and was prepared.
I was expecting something like the VSP that was offered last year, but was very happy with what the ERP included. In my view, I just got another year+ of retirement while i'm younger and can enjoy it. My wife and friends say they can't believe how relaxed I am. My blood pressure is lower already. It didn't take long to realize the toll that was being taken on my well being.
Folks, it's just a job - not you life or self worth. If you can afford to go you should take it
Congratulations, man!
Pushed the ERP button yesterday and accepted the release
While I'm pissed about my own situation, I feel more for those who are left. I prepared. I'll be fine. Everyone should always have a plan B at the ready. I had mine. Still pissed, but thankful I'm not a single parent with young kids in this situation.
No doubt life has been nicer to not be working nights and weekends anymore and not answering to the idiotic mgmt.
