Hell yes! I don't wake up with a knot in my back from not sleeping right (or at all) while worrying about the status of the fleet of machines I was responsible for. I don't wake up with nausea thinking about explaining the same thing that I explained... — read more 

I wasn't offered any of the packages as I had an exceed two focals ago. I want out though. Don't think Intel can succeed after implanting so much distrust and fear. At least Apple compensate you for the constant fear and pressure. Anyway I can get a... — read more

Since Murthy has not been at Intel very long we invite colleagues at Qualcomm to assess his performance as well

I'm sure we should expect no less of them than they expect of us. Therefore I am inviting everyone to open threads for "focal feedback" on any "leaders" with teams > 500. Let's see how they match up.

What the heck - VSP vs. ISP Severence now seems significantly different despite Initial VP message stating they were equal other than end date worked. Per other post noting email from Diane Bryant on VSP, the email there shows 15w severance for 4yrs... — read more

Yesterday I ran into two guys with long and accomplished careers at Intel who took the early retirement offer. These are both guys who have extremely specialized skill, extensive external networks and will be impossible to replace. Both were fed up... — read more

From GM's email we dont need to, still will be paid till June 24th. Did anyone have a talk with your mgr about it?

Murthy if you are listening you need to get rid of this dead wood politician

Wondering if all of us will be notified at the same time.

next time, Intel said, severance packages may not be so good. http://www.oregonlive.com/silicon-forest/index.ssf/2016/05/intel_warns_employees_take_the.html

Why was I selected for the VSP: because you have not received anything better than a SL3 for the past 4 years and have been in you job grade for longer than average. Will I get laid off if I don't take it: depends on what job you are doing. The next... — read more

In Santa Clara on Friday can everyone against the way management has conducted the layoff wear a black top or tie. Would be a real site of solidarity if I walked in sc12 or RNB and saw a show of support for our colleagues.

Bk is a bad person. He has no conscious. He says he is treating people with respect but he is humiliating people. He is fake. I pray he suffers a lot for rest of his life. I wish all good people leave intel and prosper outside intel. And bk and... — read more 

Intel might not have released such details but anyone with their teams or any other team you know about, what's general consesus. I personally didn't saw any diversity candidate (Womans/ Blacks) being affected.. Could be just a coincidence

Now that BK's show has flopped miserably and sunk a few million $ and turned off an entire maker market, can we have some more ideas ? How about Murthy vs Richard on biggest loser?

These are the non URM folks leading the next series of doomed projects. Of course there needs to be accountability, so they will be fired as these projects fail while I work on my CEO path. -AE

No wonder all of you were fired. Entitled spoiled brats. I feel sorry for the next company that is stupid enough to hire any of you. If any of you even do work again. Holy sh--.
