I've been with Intel for two years, and if things are to go as expected, I'll be here for another three or four more. But with the coming layoffs, you never know. I just hope layoffs are different than in my last company. I was called into a meeting... — read more 

It’s coming up on two years but where are those nodes ? It looks like 10nm narrative, it’s cu----g really! Just like layoffs all talk but no action. You’d think layoffs are easier to execute than EUV, OPC and stuff like that! But dang, the... — read more 

Howdy, folks! What is the starting salary range for engineers at Grade 9? Equally important, what's the yearly gross income? If you're comfortable sharing, that would be great. Thanks.

Hey can we share some BKMs here on what to do before we have to leave? Sure management is being all nice and giving you 9 weeks to apply to jobs that aren’t posted…. But how do we prepare in advance we are locked out of our computers like Fb and... — read more 

This crazy tagline indicates zero understanding of the semiconductor business. A more appropriate tagline would be: IDM will ki-l IFS and IFS will ki-l IDM Pat should be fired ASAP

This site is like prison. Everyone not guilty and waiting on parole hearing. Go out and look for a job and stop waiting on handout.

Lots of suggestions about how low cost sites are 'safe'. What is 'low cost'? If you are looking at your paycheck you maybe not correct. Because labor cost is not the same as payroll. It also includes many other items such as benefits, tax... — read more

Let’s be honest 10nm and 7nm blew up the product and design team best laid out schedules and plans and took them from leadership to last. Sapphire Rapids is proof again of this broken model and IDM execution marriage. Like a new CEO who says five... — read more

It seems I'm in the minority here, but I don't mind the wait. I prefer having the time I need to prepare for the worst-case scenario and turn it into a better one. I admit, it's not easy not knowing when it's going to happen and always wondering, but... — read more 

I am a bit worried. I started at the same time as two more diverse employees on the team. I believe they are both G6/G7 and I am G7 (pretty certain on this). I believe close grades are being scored together. In a skills based review …..if... — read more 

Intel has created a hostile environment by extending this layoff suspense, it has caused undue mental stress and harassment for its employees. Wonder what California law has to say about this. It’s only a matter of time it gets sued for this by the... — read more

Is the Cobra premium going to be paid by Intel for a year? Or is Cobra just being offered.

Any info? What’s actually being reduced? Is manufacturing impacted (admittedly hires over the past few years have been questionable at best).

The goose and golden eggs are so gone. Market share loss will continue and that is with certain huge price drops and margin loss. ... — read more 

What % of different groups are being cut ? We should all be interested. Seems like HR not being touched that much! So some executive leaders really swinging their bats!

Although my first two years at Intel were great, things started to change after that. The management did not care about new employees anymore and they started to show their true colors. I joined Intel in 2014 as a business analyst. I was a happy new... — read more 

Please share your grade level and salary, everyone benefits when we share info like this. It'd make sense to post other info as well, tenure/median time, degrees, etc.? My info: Grade = 7 Base = $125K

Get the job offer now and ask to start late January and by then you will know. You then take the VSP package from Intel and walk over to the new job. DONE. Why torturing yourself?

I hope they start the layoff announcements next week, so folks can discuss with family during Thanksgiving and make plans. The delay is unnecessary and frankly very frustrating.

I compared intel benefit with our competitors and saw it has the best benefits. Although pay might not be the best.I’m 100% sure we will have a strong growth in 1-2 years. Ito scammers, let’s your disapproval may show how accurate this is :) — read more 

I don't believe that these cuts will be much less unfair than the ones in 2016 when some of the best employees were cut.

Is this layoff world wide or specific to GEOs?

According to the DigiTimes report, Intel's laptop market share peaked in 2016 at 82.2% (in the same year, AMD had 17.8% of the market). But according to the latest figures from Q2 2022, Intel now owns just 63.5% of the market while AMD has... — read more

Why some orgs do not offer voluntary CPM? They want people to stay?
