I am sure I will get a lot of clowns responding to this, but if just 1 or 2 replies are legitimate I may be able to find some useful information.

No one will lose their job in Europe. More losses shifted onto the US worker in the coming weeks.

Hope this is just rumor

Today I had such a weird conversation with my manager, I don't know how else to describe it. He told me that my position now has an additional requirement that I hold a H1B visa. And that in order to qualify for it I will have to denounce my US... — read more

Qualcomm loses business Previous reports had pegged Intel's potential share of the iPhone 7 baseband win would be around 30% to 40%. If DigiTimes' number is correct, then Intel may have actually increased its potential allocation since the last wave... — read more 

Just accepted the VSP. AZ is like living in hell and Intel is dead. So happy I can't sit still. No job offer either. Just sick and tired of all the BS. Good bye and good luck to all :)

They buy a drone company and then fly drones in the night sky (http://www.ibtimes.com/intel-pilots-100-coordinated-drones-night-sky-forming-surreal-light-show-2364931). I'm sure the folks who worked on this project will get EEs/SL1 cuz BK got to be... — read more

Intel's record in SOC has not been great. Do you really think that if Otellini said "Yes" then Intel would have delivered on function, power, cost and schedule? Surely Apple would have multiple bidders that would have delivered ahead of Intel anyway... — read more 

Are investigators getting assigned to your case and do they ask more questions or do they simply come back with yes/no(mostly) answer?

Does it mean they will buyback the VSP or will they will buy/urge the employee by offering some incentive to stay with the project?

I have been coasting at Intel for past 15 years with good pay. Unfortunately, I do not have the marketable skills needed to work for another company. I have been able to cruise for many years by talking my way through things and am pretty good with... — read more 

Intel has entered a new era of confusion and dissonance. Intel has had layoff's before. But, never has Intel fired so many critical staff. The tens of thousands of small unwritten tasks that are done day in/day out by the highly skilled people. Those... — read more 

Her income is a lot higher than mine. Should I accept her VSP? I am afraid if I don't accept, it will turn into an ISP/divorce later.

Ah Monday. Always encouraging to walk into JF3 and see a room of 100 new hires ready to jump on board here at Intel. I know you're think "but I thought we were cutting heads?" Silly rabbit we are pushing out old expensive white folks and bringing in... — read more 

Many founders at successful companies would have been laidoff at Intel due to the toxic culture, politics, and focal games. Intel lost its way and innovations are not value anymore. This will is why Murthy and BK fit so well at Intel.

Trying to gauge where we are heading!

What are the odds that the no-rehire clause is attached to them? Assume that all non-taken VSP's convert to ISP's. I'd like to think that they'd rehire these people like they would with people who took the VSP. But they do seem to be warning very... — read more

Maybe all those who have taken the VSP/ERP (obvious the ISP since they had no choice) outside of work should wear a small blue arm band on the left. A show of solidarity. Of knowing who we are and can come up to each other and discuss our stories and... — read more

Don't give into the threat of next package not being as good. You will get 6-9 months of paychecks to make up for any decrease in severance for the next round of layoffs.

Getting out now? Waiting for a better price like 32-34? Keep them and get the dividends? Sell some and diversify the portfolio?
