Can someone that actually received VSP in the US outline the exact details of the package? thanks

The problem is they never look ahead or fail to see the big picture. They pull sh-- like having massive layoffs when they are still extremely profitable, offshoring, cutting benefits, etc and then they act surprised when they get hit with gov't... — read more 

But Aicha has "learned a lot"

With a chinese investment, AMD and the chinese partners are going to be eating into the server chip market share very soon.

Not too much going on in terms of hiring elsewhere. Software is fine. Though, intel was never known for its software competency.

Will H1-B's get shipped home first, leaving more housing inventory first? Or will U.S. citizens lose their jobs faster and not be able to find a job sooner, leaving more housing inventory first? In either case, I can't wait for foreclosures and fire... — read more

Very likely

Intel spent more than $10 billion over the past three years to gain mobile market share against ARM

For those still at Intel, there is no point in killing yourself for BK and Murthy. Do like me and tell your boss you are working from home but you are really out enjoying life or interviewing. At the end you will be layoff so why bother.

Every single job interview i go, they are asking, why are you leaving Intel? Is everything alright there? What am i supposed to say? It doesn't look good to say I am VSPed. I wish instead of packages, our reputation was just left alone and they could... — read more

Who knows him when's he getting the boot

For someone who took and ERP how does the cobra work? Package says subsidized, but what is the split? Curious

I never worked in Kirk's organization and I did not know him. When the news of his departure came out I thought bringing an outsider as his boss was the reason for his departure. Now, I want to believe his departure was not a coincident. He left days... — read more 

What's the average salary at Intel Oregon

Been here 20-something years right out of grad school. Not old enough to retire and young enough to probably reinvent myself. I'm disillusioned with our leadership. But at the working level we have great engineers with bright minds. I think about... — read more

QGS? - I'll never understand why the previous acronym - BUM - needed to change.

There is no safety no job security. Just fear

BK and Murthy are actually being incredibly generous with VSP and ISP. They may not be that generous in the future. Intel can fire you at anytime with no buyout whatsoever. Corporations make the rules now so deal with it. Take the money and run!

Looking for job in TX, CA in HW design/ validation. Finding the job market extremely slow. Are most of the online postings fake? Hardly getting any response. Any advice?

If you're an Intel employee with half a brain you've already realized that number of people cut is no where near the announced cuts of 12,000. I'm a former Intel employee and I had dinner with an Intel manager last night who confirmed that this is... — read more 

Too many hate message and anyone could be pulling the trigger. Should they worry? Intel always on safety

hey ISPs, I did not receive any yet.

Murthy rational: Qualcomm revenue $23bn from 33k people. Bk pushed back this time. But in the short term revenue will not be impacted and these savings will fall to the bottom line. Conclusion: there will be a similar downsizing in the next 12... — read more

It's clear bk and his crew don't like it they can't walk your sorry assout at any time

Does anyone knows if with the laptops that are being released from laid offs plus the lessened number of people requiring laptops refresh then would laptop refresh programs be accelerated?

Come on guys saw at least one person yesterday who might have been born in this country.

Just wondered after the management have systematically taken away any illusion of security and dignity in working for Intel how people are prosecuting their roles? You know it's only a matter of time until you do the walk of shame

So, if they have to dip into the VSP bunch to make up their 12K in head count reduction, what criteria are they likely to use when selecting who to cut? Will your job duties and business group be much protection, or is it likely to be some arcane HR... — read more
