You can thank BK and Murthy for creating the horrible working environment at Intel where focals are the name of the game and is only going to get worst.
Watch your back at all times!

The net result of this layoff will be lost productivity, less informed risk taking, more politics and more game-playing. Those with existing internal political networks will survive. The lesson to others is to invest in building internal political networks (vs. doing your job, learning new technical skills, spending time with customers, etc.) In other words, exactly the opposite cultural changes that Intel needs to get back on track.
Focal is changing for this next year...details to come in Q3/4...it will take even that rotational "power" out of managers' hands. :-/ maybe we'll have to submit progress reports for HR to rank?? Any other thoughts how it will unempower our managers even more?
the poster is right - the Indians from india need to be sent back immediately. They have no place or business in the United States. Shouldn't take long to get rid of them.
kidding right ?!! the managers are the most incompetent in the building. Talk about dumb. They should be the first to go !
When the Titanic sunk, it took the Captain and it's crew down with it. These worthless bozos who call themselves managers and VP's will sink with the mother ship.
Correct - managers will rotate O & EE from now just to make sure they do not lose their HC. Even the average folks will get O& EE now & even the top notch folks who deserve O/EE in consecutive years will not get what they truly deserve. They have to be happy with 'successful' in some of the years. And you need to keep the manager in good humor to avoid SSL4/5.
It's vicious environment now at Intel. Is this why top folks get millions to destroy the empire that was built by Dr. Noyce / Dr. Moore / Dr. Grove so brilliantly / paasionately?
Dr. Moore is still around. He needs to intervene to stop further deterioration of work culture / employee moral at Intel.
Sad sad state of affairs. Meritocracy completely gone down the $hithole.
The employee will be unable to impact their own focal going forward. If you are not needed, you will simply be assessed ssl4 or ssl3.
Google rank and yank
First round of layoffs where what getting below average stock with no E or O
Second round of ISP was getting below average stock but successful.
VSP is successful but no positive message and some mysterious criteria about time in grade
What will managers do in focal? Probably rotate their quota of stock and E/O around irrespective of performance. Managers are selfish they need works to do the job or they will get yelled at by their managers too. Thus the true high performers will have to claw even harder for their positive messages that they so deserve, terrible situation all started by poor senior management inability to manage the business and do the right thing!
