Intel officially launched the layoffs in the United States and other regions this month. According to the latest reports, the company plans to lay off thousands of employees in the Oregon factory in the United States, five times the scale was sold last week.
According to foreign media The Oregonian, Intel will sack up to 2,392 positions in Oleko and the total number of layoffs across the United States (including Arizona, California and Texas).
Intel has been performing continuously in a downturn in recent quarters and has poor financial conditions. The new executive Lip-Bu Tan is preparing to adopt more aggressive restructuring methods. According to the Work Adjustment and Retraining Notice Act (WARN) data, Intel may have over 2,500 employees in Olerca, which is far beyond previously estimated size.
The current employees of Intel's Ole Financial Factory exceed 23,000, with a cumulative investment of US$64.84 billion, and the number of layoffs this time accounts for about 12%. It is worth noting that the factory originally thought it was a production base for the future 18A and 14A processes.
Although the operation has not yet been affected, such a large-scale cutter will inevitably hinder Intel's wafer foundry policy, especially Intel has determined that the 18A process is mainly for internal use. At the same time, Oleko Factory originally estimated 500 layoffs, but was later significantly revised to 2,392, making it one of the largest scale layoffs in the state.
In fact, over the past year, Intel has laid off 3,000 Ole Facilities through the delegation and self-departure plan, and has not provided any retirement or leave options, directly from 192 Aloha area and 2,200 Hillsboro.
Intel called this wave of layoffs mainly for the purpose of "flat organizational structure", reducing middle-level management positions and focusing on the engineer team. However, according to the announcement, the positions that were actually laid off include 325 module equipment technicians, 302 module development engineers, 126 module engineers, and 88 process integration development engineers. According to the Oleka WARN application data, 190 layoffs have included "Manager" (Manager), accounting for 8% of the total number of chief executives, and are from various departments' software, hardware and operation management positions.
At the same time, the industry also reported that Intel has started laying out its staff in Israel, and the affected people include middle-level managers (such as team leaders), first-line teams, and technical personnel from the remote operation center (ROC). It is known that these supervisory levels are about one to two levels higher in production online, and the severance is part of the organization's "flattening". In addition, ROC technicians are responsible for distance monitoring and control of the wafer equipment, process management and abnormal investigations, but are gradually replaced by automated systems. Judging from the global deferred strategy, similar practices may be implemented in the U.S. region.
