Advice to Management

BK laid off many talented long-time employees who were in their 40s, held senior positions, and had taken leave. The worst thing is that those people are labeled as "no rehire ever after."

Those employees had been contributing to Intel if they survived that long. Do you really need to destroy their careers (not only at Intel but also outside, as the information leaked to the public)? Who will hire those people labeled as "bottom"?

Do you trust those people who gave them bad ratings?

Have you communicated clearly to managers that stock level grants are equivalent to performance ratings?

A "Successful" rating is not really "successful" under your newly defined category!
