Has anyone else that was recently laid-off or retired from Intel received e-mails through LinkedIn from D.E. Shaw Group offering to compensate you to talk to a team of their analysts about Intel's product roadmap and foundry competitiveness?

Lol it's cute HR is in here saying "Please don't steal our IP. It's against the law! It's also mean and hurtful to our bonuses and stock options."
Change your process and protect your IP...
@6efc+1qpLUNUX. Here is the link,

@6efc+1qpLUNUX. While it is a fact that every society have their share of criminals, but many of them will eventually end up in jail. Those who try to sell proprietary information may be amongst them. I remember an ex-Intel engineer downloaded lots of proprietary information before fleeing to AMD and was jailed for a few years.
@afo+1qpLUNUX Not sure what you don't get? Many people couldn't give a rats a-s about a piece of paper. Even if you take them to court, they typically have no assets to sue for. People still lie under oath. People break the law all day. Not saying it's OK, but it is fact. Reading through these comments, it's almost as if these posters expect people to be good natured... not sure where they grew up in such a nice utopia.
Is Intel still trying to force "Wokeness" on its US employee base? I heard a group of employees were fired from there a few years back for standing up the executives who were pushing this toxicity onto employees.
I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole! It's not legal, not ethical, (IMHO) and who's to say they aren't just phishing for INTC?
@afo+1qpLUNUX because people will do it anyway. Why do people keep robbing banks? Stupid statement. The only way to protect your IP from bad actors is separation of duties and chain of custody. Neither of which Intel utilizes.
@yis/@afo - Legal, yes. Moral duty, not so much.
Intel got more lawsuits doing illegal stuffs than anyone else. Ask Intel laywers.
Not sure why @yis+1qpLUNUX received so many negative reactions. The fact is, when one signed the employment agreement the first day at Intel (or any other company for that matter) he is legally binded not to disclose their proprietary information during and after the employment period. Only fools will sell it to a third party, unless he wants to receive a lawsuit.
What a fantastic way to find oneself on the receiving end of a lawsuit.
Morality is fading each decade. Cute comment though.
No matter how much an ex-employee hates Intel, he/she has a legal and moral duty to protect the proprietary information of Intel.
Don't let it distract from the fact that Hector is going to be running 3 Honda Civics with spoon engines. And on top of that, he just went into Harry's, and he ordered 3 T66 turbos, with NOS. And a Motec exhaust.
