Top Ten

Many of you have asked if I have heard any news regarding my job with Intel. These are the top ten rumors I am hearing.

1. My group is being sold to Freescale.
2. My group is being sold to Motorola.
3. My group is being sold to an unknown company.
4. The business is being sold, but we employees are being laid off.
5. We will be offered our choice of 2 months of pay to leave immediately, or 2 months of paid redeployment to find another position within Intel. (Good luck!)
6. The business is not being sold, but the work is being outsourced. My group will be downsized.
7. We will be notified before the end of the quarter (June 30).
8. The axe will fall on July 19.
9. We are not being sold, and are adding new projects to the roadmap.
10. We are moving our headquarters to Hawaii, and our newest computer will be called the “pine-Apple”.

I like numbers 9 and 10 best.
