Pension Payout?
Did anyone affected by ACT get a payout from the minimum pension plan? The FAQ doesn't mention this, but I assume if you've been around long enough there will be a payout (and not just for the ERP folks)
"SMITHERS!" shouted Mr. "BK" Burns. "Who are those idiots trying to collect unemployment?"
"They are the people who got ISP or took VSP or ERP, sir" replied Waylon "Murthy" Smithers. "WHAT? How is that possible? I got rid of these drooling nincompoops for their lousy performance! said Burns, "so why do those fools think they should get... — read more
"SMITHERS!" shouted Mr. "BK" Burns. "Who are those idiots challenging their ISP?"
"I'm not sure sir" replied Waylon "Murthy" Smithers "I know some are drones from sector 7G that were working on our new cell phone processors and feel the debacle is your fault." "BK" Burns glared at Smithers, shouting "What?! Since when am I... — read more
What would happen to the Fidelity 401K and retirement and pension plans accounts after termination?
Unvested shares have been removed from UBS, but Fidelity's web site does not indicated termination yet. Do we have to rollover the account to an IRA at some point? Are we entitled to the Intel's pension amount as one lump sum per Fidelity?
No news about my ISP appeal yet
Any idea when they will get back to us? Any idea who are the folks in the deciding commitee?
Vsp after deadline?
Is there any way to opt for vsp after the deadline?
How close to the 12K are we?
Does anyone know how many took erp and vsp? How many more left to go to reach 12k.
Serious question - the layoffs so far (in the US) seem to be Americans...
Maybe this is a coincidence based on my job function or location, but I don't really notice any Indians or Chinese mentioning that they are leaving - only Americans. Maybe Indians and Chinese were offered the packages, but for cultural reasons did... — read more
Here comes the storm!
They just cut the training department at an AZ site
Poor BK
Think about how bummed his wife and kids are that they didn't get to have Trump over for dinner. They must've worked really hard to clean their house, only to have it called off at the last minute!
People who found better paying/more enjoyable jobs at other companies
What do you do, and how did you find them?
I am so disappointed in Trump!!!
BK acts like the most Anti Trump Progressive: His love for LGBT community, Socially accepted discrimination called diversity The H1B fraud which Intel participates in like firing people with 15-20 years experience and then bringing in H1b's to... — read more
I know a lot of technicians who did not take the VSP
I think if nothing happens...Then Intel will lose all credibility and this was just a bluff. Good luck everyone!!

How much do get with unemployment? Has anyone here applied before for unemployment? For how long do they pay us, and how much?
Do they also help find jobs of our education level. I have a bachelor's in mechanical engineering, in Oregon. Thanks and I really appreciate honest answers. No trolls please.
It's June 3rd, what is the estimated headcount reduction so far?
Any updates regarding ACT status in any groups/sites?
I'm a highly educated professional
But why do I feel like a cross between an intensively farmed chicken and a north Korean. I come to work in the morning and look at that sh--ty small booth and think is this what I worked all them years for. Then there's this teamwork here where... — read more
IBM only offered 1 month severance

BK moved quickly Wednesday night to quell a firestorm of criticism after news leaked that he was holding a fun
Intel CEO Brian Krzanich moved quickly Wednesday night to quell a firestorm of criticism he received after news leaked that he was holding a fundraiser at his home for presumed Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. Guess that answers a few... — read more
ISP/ERP (60+) - Have you seen accelerate vesting of RSUs?
Just checked my USB account and all of my unvested RSUs have disappeared with nothing shown as vested. I qualify for 4 years of accelerated vesting. Anyone else in the same boat? Is this just a timing thing? Thought I'd check here before I call... — read more
How do things change?
In December of 2012 I attended a staff meeting. There were 11 of us in the room and we were all happy and thinking that life was grand. Since then..... 1 retired 2 took a VSP (read the writing on the wall) 3 were given an ISP (SL 4/5?) 3 were told... — read more
Intel contributes to today's USA payroll revised downward - effect of ISP. Next month is VSP.
Non-farm payrolls rose a measly 38,000 in May, missing the 158,000 consensus, and also falling sharply below the lower end of the consensus range between 110,000 and 219,000, as compiled by Econoday. For April, the non-farm payrolls figure was... — read more
Intel is not in the business of being logical and fair to its employees anymore.
I have spent a decade here. ACT is the worst I have ever seen.
I am so happy I sold all of my intel stock from years past and bought NXP and Broadcom instead.....
It worked out well, actually. Really well.
HR spams
Took me awhile to figure.. but who do you think benefits if people here are humiliated and demoralized, and decide to leave Intel?
Phase two of ACT - they're going to eliminate by job role/code + prior unaccepted ER/VSP invitation.
Serious question for those staying at Intel
What is going to replace the lost revenue from PCs? Do you really think Intel can grow? What are you doing to manage your long term career in light of the the PC becoming a dinosaur?
Will all of the ACT actions be complete buy July 1st?
Will all ACT ISP, VSP, ER and protect efficiencies be closed out by July 1st?
Can we find out who decide to hire Murthy
Who in Intel board or BK?
The spirit of murthy lives on in Qualcomm
The spirit of murthy lives on Murthy promoted a lot of mini-murthy (all Indians of course) while he was at Q. So even though he has moved on, his style of pompous yet incompetence lives on.God bless

Are we in good hands
Some one wanted to host an event to raise fund for Trump, changed mind and cancelled the event late, later explained to the world that he is not endorsing Trump. What do you think about such a drama? I am just scratching my head. I don't feel good... — read more
What are you folks going to do with your investments, depending on who ends up being president?
I'm just curious if any of you have given much thought as to altering any of your investment plans, given who ends up winning the Presidency. I'm in my early 40ies, and I've been lucky to have my investments work out well, so I have about $1million... — read more
