I don't understand this. They are excluded from CPM VSP but not from ISP. What is the point of doing that ? A G11 may as well decline to do CPM VSP and they may save more money with getting G12 and G13s apply for VSP. Or are they too valuable for... — read more

Being below book value won’t save it as long as Pat is still torching good money after bad on things that will never return profit in the vain pursuit of his now defunct plan

All Scrum Masters can be CPM’d some of these people have one or two APTs what are they doing the other 37 hours each week. What a waste of money.

Leadership needs to look hard at the grade 10 and 11 individual contributors, product owners, in these groups that do little to help out IDM dreams. Are they necessarily they have high salaries and don’t contribute to our bottom line.

All the shock and surprise seems misplaced on here. We have seen this coming for at least 4 years, even Pat said it. They couldn't get the process developed, shells built out or factories installed without the staff we had. But again as Pat said, the... — read more

"You can fool some of the people - some of the time. And other people - other times. But you can't fool -all- the people -- all the time " This - will be Intel's ( and Preachers' ) epitaph .

AK been rallying all round the past year about needing more workers for fab. VSP and ER is still fine for oldies, but ISP for fab workers will be detrimental for manufacturing
