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 

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.

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

'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?

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 

Forget about the pervasive fog. Enter the chasm
