A brief update to our members and those interested in our Global Survey.
These are some preliminary results as we reach the mid-point of the survey period.
- 32% so far have found new positions, but another 38% have not.
- Some people had new jobs within 2 weeks after leaving; those are unusual cases. On average, most people are taking over 6 months to find a new position.
- About 10% of the respondents have officially retired.
- The bulk left in June 2016.
- The bulk were in the 50-59 age group
- Although the bulk of respondents have been from the USA, we have also heard globally from Russia, UK, India, Israel, Mexico and even Hong Kong.
- The pressures to take the Voluntary Severance Packages (VSP) were quite high, and most left so they could get the best deal possible before more layoffs occurred. In a few cases of altruism, they said they hoped their leaving would help those left behind keep their jobs!
- Dealing with Unemployment is still a big issue. Some people assume they do not qualify, even though they never checked. We continue to encourage them to check. Even VSP are eligible in many cases.
- And most report that even though they may not have jobs yet, they are happier and less stressed than before.
On a scale of 1..10, 10 being highest
We will have more detailed analysis after the survey closes next week.
The survey is for former and even current members of Intel.
