Intel's stupid "Your Spending Account (TM) Balance Reminder" email

Anyone but me notice the past dates in the "Your Spending Account (TM) Balance Reminder" email received yesterday? Both the 'SERMA Healthcare Assistance' and the 'Sheltered Employee Retirement Medical Account (SERMA)' buckets have past dates.

Deadline to Incur Expense: 12-31-2015

Deadline to Submit Expense: 03-31-2016

The deadline to submit expense is not only in the past.... but it's PRIOR to when the ERP/VSP offer email was even sent out!!!

I'm sure it's just a stupid mistake on Intel's part, but still.... Duh, Intel. eyeroll This is so not surprising.

Got one as well, with the same confusion. Then was told they didn't have my email (which makes you wonder how they sent this?), and I should create a new account, which of course, you cannot do from outside.

Intel actually paid a contractor to do this (Hewitt). Brilliant.

@cyh-OP: Thank you for that info. I thought I had changed my email everywhere but I might have missed this one. I indeed was ERP and have been using SERMA so they probably just don't have my current email. It is amazing how many places my Intel email/identity was intertwined with all my personal activities after so many years.

@zuk - It went to only the ERP folks of which I am one. Anyone still on the inside doesn't actually have a SERMA account until after you retire. Sure, you get $1500 for every year of service but the account isn't actually created until X days after you leave. I forget how many days it actually was. Something like 30 or 45.

Did you ERP or retire without a package? If so, do they have your personal email addy? Did you check your spam folder if so?

The email also shows the amount in each of the 2 buckets.

What email? Do you have to still be inside to get this email? I never received anything.

You can bet HR fired any copy editors it might have had during ACT.

Intel is one phucked up company so dragged down by idiots and systems from the dark ages, but have no fear with 10nm ramp ACT2 and ACT3 will purge another 30k at a minimum 😂😂😂😂😂

In all honestly I think the whole thing could have been much worse. These are minor annoyances. BUT!, they aren't very surprising. At least to me.
