How can you compete against someone who has no rights, no voice and no freedom
Please stop by your admins desk to pickup the new "Intel Values" badge.
Top 5 Intel Values: 1) Be lucky you have a job. 2) You can never have enough VP's and upper managers. 3) We will evaluate low performers annually. 4) Agree to disagree to commit to failure. 5) IOT will be the savior. Please add any values that I have... — read more

The "Next Generation" is in charge at Intel now
Almost all the 50+ baby boomer crowd has left Intel or is leaving soon. The remaining few are VP's or admins. Only grey hair I saw in the building yesterday was the security guard. Hundreds of new interns are showing up for the summer. Some look as... — read more
I read on the ACT site that they intend to give 30 day notice for project concellations/Efficiency cuts. So all cuts announced by today?
Since there are only 30 days in June, Should they not announce all cancellations today ... or is Tue (June 1) good enough?
Next round of cuts to include ssl3 as Intel is not close to the 12k cuts
Heard from an excellent source that next round of layoffs will include ssl3 and will depend on BU and length of service in a given job grade.

Any successful appeal for folks belonging to a group on chopping block such as SSG or MVE?
What happens next?
How can you hate Indian

Getting rid of Directors
Are Directors immune from ERP, VSP, ISP ? Someone will have to get rid of them. There are too many of them around. As many as managers.
Great Community Here
Kudos Intel folks, I am with Qualcomm and our board here is horrible - ton off posts yet completely irellevant and laced with an enormous dosage of anti Indian sentiment. While your board is not perfect it amazes me how informative and info-sharing... — read more
Itseez acquired, Intel's Troubles Solved
https://newsroom.intel.com/editorials/intel-acquires-computer-vision-for-iot-automotive/
Are we there yet?
Can someone from HR please let us know how close we are to the 12k mark? I know some VSP/ER invites won't be counted unti June 2nd but there has to be an early tally out there somewhere.
So I joined a new company, and I met a really pretty QA lead....
So I'm responsible for a module for an IOT device, and since I'm the only one that really knows how to do it, I've sort of in the spotlight trying to get this delivered for an alpha release over the past 3 weeks. We had to move it into QA early, so I... — read more
Transitioning into new areas in cloud, AWS, Big Data areas - within 90 days
Now that INTC is behind me, I want to catch up, preferably within the next 90 days. Feel no point crying over what went wrong there - not my concern. If the demand is really hot for Cloud/ Big Data areas, then what would be a few good courses... — read more
Another acquisition to disappear into the Intel black hole.

Has anyone posted the 2nd email about VSP? The one that threatened us if we don't take VSP?
I'm pissed I can't print, forward or save the damn thing and I would live to show it to an attorney. I can understand why Intel did that, its a smoking gun of humiliation in comparison to the FIRST VSP eligibility email which was all puppies and... — read more
Karma is a bitch
10 months ago I was ISP. Always received a Success, never received a verbal or written warning. I had 30 days to leave, but my manager kept trying to get me to leave instantly. On the last day that bastard acted like a dick and treated me like I was... — read more
Efficiency cuts in other PEG groups
So, by now somebody should have more info on other planned cuts in PEG. We've only heard from MVE, what about Arch and DTS/DA? Those were also supposed to be high priority for efficiency/co-location cuts.
Alternative to ACT
1) For old timers and/or ppl who are stagnant in their careers; move them to jobs that does not require innovation , eg manufacturing or offer them a job with pay cut 2) For small non-colocated sites. Offer them a autonomous business challenge. ... — read more
Cobra coverage options
For the cobra option of (6 months + 9k cash), does anyone know how much tax we will have to pay on the 9k? Trying to decide whether to go with the 6mo+9k or the 12mo option. Thanks.
Managers appealing data driven cuts?
Anyone know of managers who are appealing the data-driven decisions because they don't like how they were impacted? For instance, people left at end of April but not included in HC reduction because the cutoff is May 1. Or managers who didn't know... — read more

Intel seems to be lacking a great leader to look up to or is there someone that comes even close?
Great companies have great leaders but Intel does not seem to have even single one.
'Phase 2' actions in any other groups?
So far it seems like MVE is the only group that has started 'Phase 2'. Has anyone heard anything about how this is going to be rolled out in any of the other groups?
It must be really cool to work in the IOT group in Intel
What are you guys working on must be some pretty innovative stuff
Have u received your ISP paperwork?
Still waiting on mine. Can someone say what's the last day to sign and return to get the ISP package?
ERP and VSP folks a word of advice.
Take the package. Try finding a better opportunity for the next two months. If satisfied take it, if not then get back in Intel. I believe they will start needing people in other teams very soon due to lack of man power and increased projects. That... — read more
Fab/Sort MFG unit- ISP count and age from Exibit A - Process Engineers ONLY
60/962 qualified for ISP. Average age of ISP 47. Average age of not selected 39. What do you guys think? According to these numbers another 40 will likely loose their job from VSPs. Have you done a similar analysis for your title and Business Unit?
Forget about the pervasive fog. Enter the chasm
The growth story for Intel ended a long time ago. But the debt has exploded. The financial magic box Stacy was using is empty no more one off tax exemptions. Also 5G and IOT are years away from being able to move the needle for Intel. Prepare for a... — read more
