Am curious to know if something is fundamentally wrong with the way Intel operates.

ISP paperwork given on April 25th says 8 weeks + "1X APB" Paper work sent by Intel (received today) says: 6+2 weeks of pay (if you return the signed docs) = 8 weeks BUT no mention of 1X APB..... any thoughts? A note for some who are patiently waiting... — read more
