Oregon layoff numbers
I left Intel last year but see the layoff news around that may impact my friends here in Oregon. Do we know the impact in Oregon and approximately how many folks will be let go here?
Name the drink
I want to make a drink for Intel employees what should I name it?
Which Intel Area Socks

Convince Me
Convince me Lip-Bu will not leave in a few years.
what to do?
I'm on vacation for the next 2 weeks, but I got an email from my boss's boss asking me to cut it short and come into office by July 7th. I'm kicking myself for even checking my email, but old habits die hard! Should I just ignore it? Or do I come... — read more
WFH types can mail in their laptop, while WFO types are asked to hand in the laptop at the nearest IT station.
Please consider the whole WFH/WFO issues settled.
Intel became an incredibly boring place, if you like what you do
A failing company has no use for hard-working, skilled people who still take pride in what they do. There is no room for passion or personal growth. Intel now runs on mediocrity because it became a mediocre company, one with no vision and no... — read more
Only one reason for Intel's failure.
Intel is in a bad situation because Intel didn't hire intelligent people. I had interviewed with Intel around 20 years ago and they didn't test my intelligence, they only tested my knowledge. I failed the interview because I couldn't answer one... — read more
My current mantra
Focus on my skills. Reach out to my network. Take care of myself. Nothing more to add...
You become obsolete if you are good at your job at intel
If you document know how in procedures, train peers, or fix ongoing issues, you no longer are no longer the only expert and needed. If you intentionally gate keep info, omit or spread false information, leave problems or intentionally sabotage and... — read more
The real lay off is next year
Head of HR told all HR employees that Intel will be looking to see which jobs can be automated or outsourced in a 6 month study and decide in Q1. Many jobs will be sent to vendors. This year’s layoff is just a start. The video is on circuit.
Notice 07-Jul out by 15-Jul? Is that really the plan?
I've heard this from multiple directions. Please tell me this isn't the plan, is it?
Who's next?
With execs dropping like flies, who do you think will be next?
Not sure what to do
Would you leave your current job for almost 25 percent less pay if it meant better benefits and, from what I can tell, significantly higher job security? Normally I wouldn’t even think about it, but I’ve been looking for nearly six months, and this... — read more

Is the SERMA account protected
Anyone have experience with losing their SERMA account if being ISPd. I'm 25+ years at Intel and have a healthy SERMA balance. Would that be at risk? Hopefully I'd be given the option to retire first if it was. I am eligible via the rule of 75.
Are department managers, area managers, and shift group leaders making the decisions on which technicians to lay off?
Heard that department managers, area managers, and shift group leaders were to only perform skill assessments for the techs to submit to upper management and HR to make an assessment AND THAT upper management and HR would ne the ones deciding who to... — read more

Work for cheap and don’t say a peep. It’s not about skills, it never was.
You should have updated your resume and taken the package
It is never too late
Intel product release vs employee layoff
Which one will be speed up faster in coming quarters and why do you think so?
If you are feeling vulnerable:
get your resume out there if you haven't done so already get copies of your documents that you may need like W2s, pay stubs, copies of you performance reviews if you feel like there is a potential for a law suit, etc... while you still have... — read more
I try to escape from Intel without any success
Any help would be appreciate. No layoff notice yet. No rise. No bonus. No direction. No sleep. Too much works. Nightmare.
It’s Friday tomorrow!
I probably shouldn’t be this excited, but the thought of getting away from the mess Intel is right now feels like a lifeline. Sure, Monday shows up before I can blink, but for now, Friday feels like freedom. And if work feels like prison, then yeah... — read more
What's up with Intel Penang in Malaysia
Got a large group of depressed Pelican seeds here at Intel New Mexico who were told they may be going back home soon in July with no jobs if the Penang factory falls through the cracks. What's the latest news on that site?
July 7th is when the hammer comes down
At least at Ronler. Mgmt gets flattened and some percentage around 20 get notified. Enjoy the holiday weekend, but the real fireworks start right after it. Not a troll. Seriously. 25+ year 'close to the wafer' vet.
So, is outsourcing the name of the game now?
Between the cuts, AI, potential spinoffs, offshoring, and outsourcing, it feels like soon there'll be no one left but the C-suite, and a handful of people kept around as props.
The team I steal work from got CPM’d
I actually have to do work now instead of repackaging other people’s work into fancy slide decks.
Logistics and Site Procurement to be outsourced
They will be using DHL and Accenture. Crazy.
Why are we still hiring?
Why am I seeing LinkedIn posts of people who're celebrating joining Intel?
I'm about ready to quit
If the goal is to push people out through constant uncertainty and scare tactics, then congratulations, it’s working. I’ve already started looking, and the next time something even halfway decent comes along, I’m taking it. I’m not hanging around... — read more
