I think the majority of Intel's problems today have to do with Pat. Who do you think should have been made CEO instead of him, and who'd actually know how to run this place?

Months of turmoil, disarray and anxiety caused me wishing not to have anything to do with Intel anymore. So if I’m to be laid off, bring it on - it will be a relief.

Justin has decided to overinvest in shores (AI/GFx) family at the expense of rapids (CPU) family and drastically limited AI scope to non-hyperscalar only. Intel made it very clear that they lost on data-center market to NVidia and AMD. The... — read more

The new scam… many people took VSP with a clear path to return right after to fill a new roll. Say what you want, but I have seen several people do this. This is waste, fraud and abuse. So efficient Intel! You are now actually part of the... — read more 

Looks like separation pay has been deposited

It's hard to understand why so many of you get so caught up in what's going on with the company. Most people won't last a year here. Some will be let go, others will leave by choice, and many will be laid off. There just isn't any long-term security... — read more 

I thought they said we would get the stocks for our 5% pay cut if we were laid off. A bunch of people complained and I thought they changed it to give the shares but my trade account says zero vesting.

How they talk about your colleagues when they are gone is how they will talk about you when you are not in the room. Only disingenuous and cr-ppy managers are left at Intel. The good ones are gone.

Dear U.S Government, Do you really want to put billions into Intel and it’s Fabs that repeatedly can’t fab modern chips? Do you really want to put chips in our we-pons that have instability issues, overheat and have via oxidation? Do you really... — read more

Hard to believe this place isn't doing worse, given the recent years of clueless leadership and zero vision. Every time it's clear change needs to happen, they just keep coasting. When the numbers tank, their big move is always the same - reshuffle... — read more

Even if Intel pulls itself out of this hole, there still will be heaps of unresolved systemic issues. First next obstacle or failing, they’ll go after us because they simply can’t come up with strategic overhaul. When leadership is incompetent, we... — read more

So, the New York Times just dropped a piece saying the US government is cutting Intel's grant because we’ve decided to push the Ohio project back to the end of the decade instead of 2025. Wait—what?! Since when is Ohio delayed to 2029-2030? This is... — read more

When I left the only thing they wanted back was the laptop. Seems like they don’t track monitors, headsets etc. Most other companies do not provide equipment as good as Intel’s. So stock up! Get a couple of extra mouses, monitors, blue tooth... — read more

Hi, VSPd on 09/30. Denied unemployment benefits from OR but I know one other VSPer was approved. Trying to get a sense of whether others were approved or denied and whether worth appealing or not. Thanks!

Gr6 FE design engineer at AZ. Applied for AMD same grade position. Pay package is lower than at INTC. Is it a general issue in tech/ semicon sector right now ?

I'm just wondering if the $20k in medical savings that was promised with the severance package was real or imaginary. I haven't heard of anyone actually getting it.

More layoffs? Anything else would actually require imagination and leadership skills.

Was that the plan? To just reduce headcount? To damn those of us who stayed with so much work we have to quit? Now I get to cover 3 engineering jobs and I'm already meeting with my boss to get my LDO! This was the plan???
