Slipped through the cracks
Last focal I had an S with SSL4. I was waiting for that dreaded 1:1 email starting Monday morning, but it never came. Still sweating bullets Friday....still nothing. At 4:30 I had figured I was ok. Wound up walking out at 5:00 with my job intact... — read more

To put the question being asked directly and indirectly in this board on whether layoffs were fair or not, Intel HR need to share the following (they have this info readily available, they ask each employee for it): Were 11% of Asian (Indian and... — read more
quit wasting time on TheLayoff and get on LinkedIn
Because recruiters from Apple and Google beat the hell out of recruiters for Donald Trump and Stormfront. I feel sorry for those who were let go, especially the ridiculous perp-walk ISP, but 90% of the crap on this feed is from bottom-feeding... — read more

What if the manager forgot to give 2015 focal ? Does it still count toward ISP criteria ?
I was new in 2014 and i didn't ask for my focal.
Employees are going to get F----d again
When project gets cancelled VPs and managers are going to decide who stays who goes. Guess what they are going to do ? They will keep all their brethren managers and their buddies, and the rest of the hardworking employees will be shown the door.
89,000 Green badges?
What do the 89,000 green badges do? Typically companies look to reduce contract workers first, before employees. Intel has almost as many green badges as they do blue badges. Has anyone heard what they will do with the army of contractors?
Accepted Intel job for retirement
As part of diversity, Intel hired many older women into senior grades 7-11 who are at near RETIREMENT AGE in the 50+ age group. These women came to Intel with goal of retiring from Intel in the next few years. Is Intel's retirement package so good ?
Intel most unethical company
After an HR Open Door Investigation into misconduct of a manager or an employee, no disciplinary action is taken against the guilty. Despite being guilty, these dishonest buffoons continue to be employed at Intel with a very long tenure and well paid... — read more

Walk of shame
Escorting you out like a criminal did not happen last year. This year I personally believe this was done to send a message to employees left behind and the message was this could happen to you if you don't perform. What do you think?
#25YearsNotLookingBack

To help laid off intel workers in Oregon, the state should pass a law requiring...
every computer sold cannot be turned on by the owner, but must be turned on by a former intel worker trained and authorized to turn on your computer. Just like you can't pump your own gas in the state.

Oregon Unemployment Benefits if you accept ERP
Does anyone know for certain if you can draw unemployment in Oregon with either VSP or ERP? Being offered both and feel like I have to take one.
