Haven't heard a lot from groups outside the US. Israel is pribably the largest R&D site after the US and India. Did ACT affect IDC guys as much as it did here?

https://open.buffer.com/layoffs-and-moving-forward/ The ceo puts forward all the numbers and takes a pay cut.

The new focal criteria of on track or off track will continually force 5% of the senior population out. Surviving BB will not be willing to fill gaps causing H1B and RCG to fill gaps.

Who believed BK when he answered, "Can you still have a career at Intel?" No: 1 Yes: 0

Let us look into one very good post, so we can start from it building some ad-hoc conclusions, trying to understand how to save significant bucks to INTEL and protect hard working bees (who were hit very hard in this primal A.C.T.). The post is the... — read more 

Just blaming and escaping policy with the managers. they are good in politics :-)

Do you see the K-Y ads on this site? What are they trying to tell the laid off people?

I heard VSP estimate was 5 to 10% with the actual number 25%. ERP estimate was 10% with the actual number closer to 40%. I'm glad I'm gone using the ERP route. Source is senior staff in SC.

This next round of layoffs should target these directors who play politics and ask their direct reports to go "fetch rocks" to make them look good.

I know one engineer who survived laid off and quit. I know another who said she was actively seeking new job after surviving as well. I was talking to HR person at interview in some major company, and she mentioned she was just talking to yet another... — read more 

What a venomous snake... Renne James, the queen's glow is mesmerizing here... In this short clip, you can see how they think about layoffs - we hire, we fire. All of you who think that your job has a higher purpose or that you are contributing to... — read more 

Is this where Intel is going (or maybe it's already there)? BK informs wall street of his next big idea, then we all watch the share price to see if gives the stock a sugar rush. Then next quarter we do the same mean while everyone has to change... — read more 

What on Earth is this efficiency cut that keeps coming up? Any one know?

I watched her three years ago in the Intel Santa Clara complex, I guess in the SC12 building's cafeteria. She was blonde, she wore a short dress, naked legs and her left leg (as far as I remember) had a big tattoo of a snake. The snake rolled in the... — read more

My neighbor a manager who was ISPd is back at work. I believe many people won their appeal.

I have seen a lot of people tell me they are starting a new position in a different group starting June 20th. What is magical about June 20th?

How much will these layoff affect Intel's reputation in recruiting circles and colleges? Will it become difficult for them to attract the best talent?

What will the small unlikeable character spring on us now? I suppose he was ranked successful for his great performances driving of the Sales Teams these last few years :-p

All these days 😢😭 that you were gone... Good to read you. Forum is alive 😊again !!! 😘❤Welcome back

This is what your managers @ INTEL, my dear friends, don't want you to know. For anything in The World, since these data are making INTEL as the company, where any FOCAL, IMPACT or ACT, you name it, do NOT make any sense. Any sense at all. Your... — read more 

WTF were they taking notes for? Are they a bunch of useless program managers or are they BK groupies?

Dear Intel Employees, Took retirement after ~30yrs. and immediately started working for another company. My stress level has significantly lowered. For that reason, I am far happier than at any time at Intel. Let me tell you, skills you get at Intel... — read more

Now that intel got rid of dead weight it can soar. And no one will come to this site again...ha

Sorry if this is mean. This is my honest opinion. Looks like folks in RNB are more fashionable. 😄

BK said no more company wide ISP's. So everyone is now safe that was offered VSP. Wow..way to go Intel...good one..the laugh is on the people that fell for it.

BK did not mention the new focal system in the BUM. Aren't we supposed to start it in July?

Q: if SSL4 is used for ISP, won't that discourage trying new jobs? A: the employee owns their own career. You should meet with both managers and make sure you won't be at risk for SL4. Analysis: this is BS. The managers won't know this year's focal... — read more
