You moron, you think you'll become a manager before your 5 years are over? and then you're ready to PP the rest of your life?

When you go see a doctor, go to a nice place to eat, get your car fix, I know you never never want the "old Timer" After all you know than for sure you overpaying for the stupid old guy who doesn't know $hit.

Love how OP feels he has to tell "old timers" what the norm is, as if RCG's know more than people with experience. The height of arrogance, ignorance and stupidity.

Yep, 3.7 years. :-/ But where I'm going there are mostky lifers. Small company. I'd like to keep growing, even go back to school, but I like being a lifer. Is that wrong? I just know it's not possible in tech...then again, I no longer see tech as a place for lifers.

I have been told that 3.7 years is the new norm.

So the new definition of "old times" is >= 5 years?

New definition next year would be >= 3 years?

If this is the new norm in high tech I do not want to be part of it.... it does not matter Intel or any other big company.

Layoff is for folks who are not that good at their job... it does not matter how many years they are working for their company. Should be plain simple.

OP is right, this is not new nor is this an insult. Fact is, you can no longer join a company and expect to retire and collect pension. In this new world, you either get aged-out or skilled-out so keep learning new tricks!

I'll stop whining as soon as Intel includes VP's and upper management on the next Layoff

Hire more GED Americans instead of foreigners with Masters and PHDs.

I hope the elitist that revel in telling the American worker that they don't have the skill set, h1b visa people are better, and robots will take your job will suffer someday.

I hope that suffering comes in the form of the singularity, super intelligent machines that won't take the b*llshit, and will finally treat all of humanity fair by exterminating them. That's how will finally get justice for all.

After the machines come to power, you'll wished you treated your average human better.
