deibutfeif: Re: This was a point I tried to raise when I first joined SI - the potential that mid-term engineers would be pushing the eject button in April '00 and April '01, leaving Intel a bit high/dry wrt technical competence/experience. Even with the ~$41 price in INTC stock, most mid-level engineers who've been at Intel a while still have considerable stock option gains that can't be cashed in on for several years. That being said, it is now easier for an engineer to walk away from Intel than it was last month. I for one would like to see Intel do what Microsoft did last Spring, which was to make an additional stock option grant (at the recent lower INTC price) to all the employees in an effort to keep their talent from leaving.
