Intel Implements Major Workforce Reductions Amidst Turnaround Efforts
Intel is undergoing significant transformations as the company grapples with challenges in its manufacturing sector. CEO Lip-Bu Tan has announced plans to cut around 15% to 30% of its workforce, totaling up to 25,000 jobs. These layoffs are part of a broader strategy to rebound from recent financial setbacks and manufacturing missteps. As part of this restructuring, Intel will also halt various projects, including the cancellation of European manufacturing sites and delays in the construction of plants in Ohio. Despite facing these difficulties, the company has reported a positive sales forecast following a recent uptick in PC demand. However, the future remains uncertain as workforce reductions and scaling back on spending continue.
