The leaked Info suggests ISP is pretty much the same as VSP package - ISP being 8 weeks pay + LOS + medical - Is that normal for it to be the same?

This site helped me last year to get over the intentional infliction of emotional distress caused by Intel. intentional = targeted (you are/were all targeted) Hope the information gives you the strength during your transition to the normal world. I... — read more 

Hello all, I got IR and I got CAP. Manager says if I complete the cap I should be fine or will I escape this time round . Next time shot dead ? My CAP is getting over in may end . I think I can complete all the tasks assigned to me

I am wondering how many software guys will get impacted this time, why not take this opportunity to start a startup to build software ourselves? Anyone interested?

What if it was a ploy, but in reality they actually have a broader ISP category, double the number of people tomorrow?

For those of us getting laid off on Monday, how long do we have to exercise our vested options/RSUs and roll over our 401K/pension/retirement to IRAs? Do we need to do all of this on Monday?

I sincerely hope that such massive layoffs finally put an end to the STEM crisis myth propagated by the rich industrial lobbies with able help from politicians of all sides. We kept hearing that US needs STEM workers because there is a shortage and... — read more

Foil says 3561 people out of 4748 for ISP will be layed off. Why not 100%? Is that the global number of IR's and SSL4/5? Seems low. Are the additional people who won't be losing their jobs new starters or something (in the past year)?

Successful with SSL3 last year; SSL4 this year; Grade 7; 15+ years at Intel; No outstanding or promotion for last three years ; Not great relationship with manager; Am I on the chopping block for ISP or can I expect a VSP? Will some business groups... — read more 

under the condition that Intek keeps creating jobs and hiring ppl. Is that true? If so, now Intel should pay the tax then - hopefully. haha

Everybody hates our GL. We all hope he'll be gone. He took bonding leave and long vacation last year, and module overall was struggling. My questions are: Who defines GL's SSL? Is it even possible for GL to get low stock? If they have low stock, with... — read more

Hi, what things to take care of during 1 on 1 ? What can be asked ? what can be reimbursed via cash or additional time ? Can we bargain the package ? Rules will be separate for CA and OR I believe.

Seems VSP people get email on Monday. But ISP people get notified Mon-Fri. So if you email on Monday you are VSP and not ISP. But if you don't get any mail you're not VSP but you don't know if you're ISP (which may not come until Friday) or safe. So... — read more
