ERP chosen and turned in my laptop this morning. It feels great being free.. I feel for those left behind as already they are talking about a complete abandonment of risk taking. Intel culture is not what it once was.
I am glad I take this chance to leave Intel.

Enjoy unemployment morons
Hahahaha
Ironic that world class Engineers are fired by HR.
In a company that needs desperately the former and could dispose the latter. Note: I'm an outsider. Intel's power shift is going to destroy it.
What a wonderful day

We've all had our retirement and going away parties and now all of those who accepted ERP and VSP will be gone on Monday.
For those of us left to clean up after the massacre, will the healing begin right away? How long until its business as usual again? I realize change will be the only constant from now on but my entire remaining team will be drained if we can't get to... — read more
VPG in FM cuts are starting.
Was offered VSP, didnt take it and now Just got a 1:1 request with manager for tmrw morning. He said to bring laptop. Nothing good can come from this. Esp since manager is supposed to be on vacation.
So if Intel really wants to reduce its workforce.....
End the sabbatical program.. BOOM done!
So those that stay at Intel and defend it or think it will do great, please share why! I think intel is DOA
I am a longtimer but have always felt intel was lucky that IBM picked the x86 it easily could have been a z80 or 6800 and then where would this company be. With the monopoly that enabled lots of good and some very bad habits that permeat and are... — read more
The Name of INTEL Internal Political Game: Fear, Angst and Dictatorship

Why staying at Intel? Wanna go through this every year?

Age based layoffs are expensive!
This is the reason Intel is waving a nice severance in your face: http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2016/06/portland_jury_awards_12_millio.html#incart_2box
We've had will.i.am - it has failed.
How about LeBron? Looks like a good, diversified choice. And best of all, he's a real winner.
No VPG cuts in FM yet?
Expected this week but nothing yet!
Farewell Layoffs.com starting a new job next Monday.

Any update on most in-efficient group (MIG -- Mixed Signal IP group) within Intel?
Especially DDR PHY team which is > 160 employees compare to industry standard of max 25 people.
What does it really mean when someone says - "in Intel, manager is very powerful".
Some engineers don't like to constantly keep their mgrs up to date with every hour updates and expect that mgr would come to know in the next 1:1 or from the dotted line mgr or from status report. I want to know from all people (genuinely) Is it... — read more
Deep sorrow for a sad day in France. An Intel employee tried to take his own life. After months of waiting with no work (project cancellation)..

[SERIOUS] Is there really a possibility of more layoffs in 2017 and after to reduce the workforce to ~50k?
I have read on this forum that Intel initially had planned 30k layoffs but we had only 12k. Given the circumstances, how likely it is that headcount will be reduced to 50k? God help if Intel actually lays off another 20k, with so many experienced CVs... — read more
