I am actively looking to move on from Intel. However, I feel slighted since I was promoted last year so did not get VSP/ISP. That's 10 months of pay I am not getting for being a high performer.

Please share your advice, comments regarding benefits after may 30 for all of us that were ISP. What would be the best things to do for surviving the next year not working? Thanks a lot fellows PS: please no racists comments, we are all on the same... — read more 

Feel free to share ideas on the next big thing at Intel and BK might just hire you or spare you from next layoff round

More than 50% of me wants to take the VSP but my main worry is finding a company with decent medical/life insurance. Also, I don't see many floor tech jobs listed that pay what Intel pays either.

And it's all downhill from here folks....

Bullcrap

I keep seeing people mention the ISP/VSP/ERP numbers listed in some document that got leaked along with ages but I haven't been able to find it anywhere. Someone mentioned that it came with the VSP email but I don't remember ever seeing that. What... — read more

It would require that a heatsink be glued to the toast to dissipate the heat from the core processor. The thermal grease on the toast wouldn't taste bad. Just need to add a little sugar.

If u leave intel due to ISP does it go on ur record in anyway and affect getting the next job? What about VSP?

Fear This is how fear works. You fear your manager sh---canning you. Your manager fears his/her manager sh---canning them. Those managers fear getting sh---canned by the VPs. Those VPs fear getting sh---canned by the executives. Those executives fear... — read more

Let's face it must immigrants are here for money. I don't blame them. They just work at a company do their tasks but don't care if it's successful. If it goes belly up just move on like a swarm of locus. We should learn from them

People are assuming Intel is letting go marginal people, but I will give you the demographics of one person who has just taken the VSP after being strongly urged to do so by managers, etc. BTW, same manager then in a panic wanted this employee to... — read more
