Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

What a great day

BK heading out the door for banging one of his employees and violating company policy? Nice case of poetic justice, considering he was a master at digging up obscure policies that got people unjustifiably canned, and setting up an atmosphere of paranoia among all employees in terms of job security. This is one of the best days of my life, considering it comes almost three years to the date when I lost my job because of the number of shares of stock I received.

The only bummer here is that you know he's leaving with a huge severance package (try hard to make ends meet on that eight-figure annual salary you'll still have, BK), and that he left of his own free will instead of being tossed out the door like so many of us have been over the last few years. I doubt he's going to have a "no rehire" policy stuck in his termination letter, so he might be back one year. Some other company will probably take him in -- hopefully not the one that I work at now.

A couple years ago, I wrote a song based on BK's actions, where one of the key lines was: "Hey, hey, Mr. BK -- how many people did you screw today?" It turned out to be prophetic. Not quite in the way I intended, but still relevant. Guess it's going up on YouTube after all.

YAY!!!

At least we are sure his ex wife will get the best severance package

He loses 45 million since he is an employee at will. He leaves with ~ 6 million, but much of that will be used on follow-on law suits and other troubles. Likely his Harvard wife will divorce him also... A "time of troubles" is here for BK and it is what he deserves. I cannot see any company hiring this guy -- also likely that SEC will begin to look into his infamous stock sale. I wonder when Intel's internal investigation started? Those usually take a long time.

So BK more or less gets fired for violating company policy. Do we know for sure it was consensual? I mean, I have my doubts. This guy isn't exactly Ryan Reynolds, if you get my drift. We can only hope that no companies out never, ever give this guy a chance at another job unless it was scrubbing company toilets. Prophetic that he took such glee laying off older employees. Wonder how it feels for a 58 year old CEO to be thoroughly humiliated when he got his walking papers.

Not sure he's leaving on his own free will, either.
