Install blind app
It's an app that lets you post with an alias. However it does try to verify you email. They claim it's anantmous. I like the space there where the stupid posts on trump / h1b don't happen. No politics only job discussions.

Is Intel reducing headcount by 12k or laying off 12k
I hear still lots of hiring going on. Are they playing with words? What is the precise language they communicated?
I am on H1b. My manager is an hard core republican and he hired me. So what is the point you guys are making about Trump?!

Question about the 1x APB target in my ISP
So I received an ISP and it says on the letter that I will be also getting a 1x APB target. So if my multiplier is let's say $5,000, then will I get $5,000 or will it be pro-rated for only the first five months (meaning half)?
Looks like the GOP party is self-destructing, as I suspected.
It couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of people ! (sarcasm) http://www.cnn.com/2016/05/08/politics/donald-trump-gop-civil-war/index.html
So sorry for you people
Murthy f---ed qualcomm now f---ing your company (this is no joke that 64-bit by Apple surprise and to switch 810 to 32-bit in the middle of the design cycle deal is completely his lack of vision and a hacky solution as restitution at the last... — read more
How much raise did you get when converting from H1B to Green Card?
I got a 25% raise within a month of the company knowing it. Then within 2 years after a job switch, I practically doubled my salary. Life is good!
Manager's view on H1Bs workers
H1B workers are liked at Intel for several reasons: Follow orders without questions Work over the weekend when asked without complaining Can be micromanage without any issues, if anything they like it On average cheaper than older employees Will stay... — read more

What is this 'Program efficiency' they keep talking about?
Accordingly to ACT hub, cuts come in 4 ways ISP VSP/ERP Site closure, Group Colocation, Project cancellations Program Efficiency Wondering what might fit into #4. Sounds vague.
So, some of you H1-B whining losers must have migrated from the qualcomm section to the intel section.
I guess you enjoy hanging out with disgruntled/laid off losers. Because they are the only people that can relate to you. Everyone else has a J.O.B. As Trump would say.. Get a job, loser.
End the H1-b program. Cancel all existing visas and return the workers to their home countries post haste.
The one and only hope of stopping this is to vote early and often for DONALD J. TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT.
H-1B visa program is nearly a complete scam, who's main purpose is to depress salaries.
It should have been renamed, long ago, the "Full Indian Employment Act". Alan Greenspan admitted as much before congress.
Time to rally against H-1B visa
There are over 4 million unemployeed American STEM workers. These people are fully qualified and trained. There are over 1 million H1B Visa holders in America right now taking American jobs and the companies that hired them have committed 1 million... — read more

I love to to repo ex intel employees expensive cars.
They are a rather weak and whiney bunch. I guess that company gave you guys a serious beat down. Took all the fight out em. All those years of sitting in an office chair makes for a big flat assand zero muscle. Makes my repo job quite easy.
