Site closure - taking severance - new position at a different site?
My site is closing down and i've decided to take severance rather than relocate. If i find a job at another site (not the relocation site) do i have to pay severance back? The package i got is sort of vague on this scenario.

The reasons why 5G can never happen
So it is just as well that 5G components will sit happily inside a sub 6 GHz LTE and LTE A network, just as easily as in a pure 5G network. No root and branch upgrade will be needed this time. 5G will not involve another big bang upgrade... — read more
5G is coming sooner than we think

If you are 45+
H1b managers only hire H1b workers. If you are 45+ and an American born non-Indian in Silicon Valley, you're fuked. To be fair to both sides, the H1b management abuse the hell out of "their people" because if the lose their job they lose their h1b... — read more

HEY TRUMP TROLLS...so Melania had an H1-B visa. The irony!!
I guess there is abuse of the system if even escorts can get H1-B.
Fix US school system instead of blaming H1B. Forget Silicon Valley without immigrants.
US heavily relies on foreigners for advanced skills, it has nothing to do with lowering the wages. The problem is known since decades. Over 50% of US Ph.D. are foreign born and you wonder why you got so many foreigners at Intel? Problem is not only... — read more

Intel seems like an awful place to work
It seems like a big brother-y post apocalyptic place which turns you into mindless, conformist, obedient corporate slaves who should be glad they have such a well-paying "job". Wake up, go to fab, push wafers, go home, sleep, repeat. No work life... — read more

is it true?
is it true that within the next few years, if there are layoffs in most tech companies, H1Bs will be the majority because most American tech workers had been laid off long ago?
Is an Intel URM "red carpet" event even legal?
I thought it was illegal to discriminate by race, sexual orientation or gender in a companies hiring process. But if you are a straight white male you can't go to these hiring events?
Hello, is Intel hiring?
I have a PhD in electrical engineering from a midwest university and I have applied for my green card which I should get soon. Is Intel hiring? I am tired of applying on online job portal.
Intel has already counted itself out of much of the 5G market
