When can we expect the VSP email hit the inbox?

Loyal, dedicated employees are receiving NO clear communication about the company's future direction. Good Managers despite building strong teams, now lack guidance to share with their subordinates. Instead of meaningful information, circuit is... — read more 

OMG 😲 Recall broken CPUs and layoff workers

The trouble with Pat and Dave saying “whoopsie doodle things are actually much worse than we let on last quarter” is that there’s still plenty of downside left for them to do that AGAIN at the end of Q3

Last week I thought the answer was early 2027 but today I think the answer is never

Ladies and gentlemen, we gather here today to bid a humorous farewell to our dear friend, Intel Corporation. Intel, the silicon giant, the processor powerhouse, the chip champion, has left us. And let's be honest, it wasn't the competition that did... — read more

Everybody is moving to fast in this industry. Reports of this issue started to surface on Saturday: https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/nvidia-blackwell-gpus-allegedly-delayed-due-to-design-flaws

Watch as Intel does its best to get rid of everybody 50 and over while attempting to hide there's age discrimination taking place.

I'm assuming the more accept, the fewer involuntary layoffs there'll be. I'm low-key hoping enough folks are unhappy here and are looking for a way out to minimize the need for laying off the rest of us. That would be a win/win situation, at least in... — read more 

I know for retirement and voluntary cpm it will come in an email. I assume the isp will be in person with your manager.

DZ even admitted they were overselling things. I think they were hoping for a bit of luck in Q2 and it didn't go there way and doesn't appear to get better in Q3 and Q4. Now, they can no longer hide the fact that the revenue they lost was not... — read more

This won't be the last rodeo of layoffs. And sure it won't come from ELTs pockets. I'm expecting year round CPMs next year

The thing that annoys me the most is that things were looking OK. We finally rid ourselves of the austerity measures, we resumed the intercampus flights, the stock almost doubled in 2023, dropped in early 2024, but had recently made it all the way... — read more 

Always Be CPM’ing

Why DCAI not opening CPM window this time

It can’t be cut. Better to join this team or too late for this to succeed?

Why would anyone accept the CPM VSP coming tomorrow? Unless you have an offer in hand is there any reason to take the VSP over waiting 2 more months and get salary and insurance? And spend August and September job searching.

Monday is going to be a hoot. After being glue to this site over the weekend I am a bit nervous about coming in. Is anyone else nervous?Opened my eyes to a lot and pulled back the curtain on the type of people I thought were my colleagues.

Any estimation ???

Based on historical data, would anyone know if the involuntary layoff package would be substantially worse than the voluntary separation package? Circuit+ does not mention any numbers for involuntary layoffs AFAICT. Thanks for any insight.

Almost historical low, is it a right time to buy bule chip stock?

Must watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8j-jk9xLyAo Destroying value and bankrupting the company at once. Thank you, Pat!

Should we revise this strategy after cost reduction to make it sound good and be realistic again? What do you think ? 4N5Y 4 nodes in 5 years 3N6Y 3 nodes in 6 years 2N7Y 2 nodes in 7 years 1N8Y 1 node in 8 years 0N10Y 0 node in 10 years — read more 

I believe the CPM terms have been the same for the past 1.5 yrs since the Nov'22 actions. Does anyone know what "enhanced retirement" means, and if it's better (or the same as) CPM? I know if you are eligible for retirement, and get CPM'd, you are... — read more
