I have spent a decade here. ACT is the worst I have ever seen.

It worked out well, actually. Really well.

Took me awhile to figure.. but who do you think benefits if people here are humiliated and demoralized, and decide to leave Intel?

What is going to replace the lost revenue from PCs? Do you really think Intel can grow? What are you doing to manage your long term career in light of the the PC becoming a dinosaur?

Will all ACT ISP, VSP, ER and protect efficiencies be closed out by July 1st?

Who in Intel board or BK?

The spirit of murthy lives on Murthy promoted a lot of mini-murthy (all Indians of course) while he was at Q. So even though he has moved on, his style of pompous yet incompetence lives on.God bless

Did anyone get any surprise emails after five?

Stop the idiot racist rants and dumb questions or even blogs with phony job offers and salaries. Move on and stop wasting bandwidth. Jesus loves you.

On your team, how many were let go, how many deserved it, and how many didn't? Include everything related to ACT (ISP, VSP, ERP). At my 2nd level manager's level we lost 13. Two of those had it coming. But five were very valuable contributors, one of... — read more 

Let's assume 30% of qualified engineers are Chinese. What's the f---ing probability all 15 in a team are Chinese assuming the hiring manager is Chinese. Just wanted to check how intelligent the population if Intel are :-)

I'm offered ERP, but also VSP. My 1st, 2nd, 3rd level managers want me to stay and say if its up to them, I'm staying. I want to stay. If I decline ERP and Intel HR "lets get rid of the old people" algorithm is reapplied, I'm gone. I would feel like... — read more 

It's accept now or maybe wait for a year to see if you get the same pkg. That is, if you don't get ISP'd in the meantime for one reason or another. As for me, I'm not waiting ... getting out now! Pkg is pretty good and I'm looking at exploring other... — read more 

No dividends today for the RSU stocks we received in April. I did receive them for stocks owned prior to that. Is Intel claiming that we were not the "owners of record" when those shares went ex-dividend?

That is all

5.5 years with Intel...3 different managers, the last one was a nigthmare who set me up and was gone with me with ISP. You have to admit though that the separation package is world class. In my case: 15 weeks of total severance 4 weeks of... — read more
