Is it just me?!

I work in TD and let me tell you, there is a ton of dead weight floating around. People writing worthless good catches. Fluff projects that don't contribute to anything except a focal bullet. How long until Intel has to get rid of people who would... — read more 

I have gotten Successful+SSL3 last three years including 2016. I was hoping to get VSP, but no news yet. By the Intel key dates website, VSP emails won't go out now. By the OregonLive, I do not satisfy ISP criterion either. So confused and anxious! I... — read more

We've had a couple of our H1Bs let go, one of which was specifically relocated here from an Intel site in India due to his wealth of experience in a very specific area. They're not just targeting the white guys.

"They qualified for lower performance-based stock incentives in 2015 and 2016, but didn't get an "Outstanding" or "Exceeds" performance rating in those years, or..." What does this mean? If I got low SSL in the year of 2015, and got good SSL in 2016... — read more 

When are they going to start looking at Director level and above that are not adding value and contributing to the bottom line? What about the groups that make no money for the last 10 years? Do they even give grade 9-11 even qualify for SSL4 and... — read more

Am consider sticking up my hand.... but nervous that it could just mark me as a candidate for the next round of ISP instead... wondered if anyone has success stories ?

wondering if they allow signing the documents later? (if so anyone know or have experience in this past or present)?

Not sure whether the good luck will be "you're safe" or "here's your ISP" :-) Old white guy (57) with 12 years...

For someone on sabbatical and so oblivious to all these developments, what is the best way to check the SSL level for 2016? I have been away to get my focal pay letter and the UBS website still does not look updated with 2016 RSU grants.

It's a little odd that we don't see many posts about VSP on here. Does that mean that there were not many VSPs given? the criteria of four consecutive SSL3 and more than 2x median in grade level seems very tight. Maybe it's the accurate criteria and... — read more
