Intel eyes hundreds more Bay Area job cuts as tech layoffs worsen
Briefly

Intel is reducing its workforce by 736 jobs in Santa Clara due to a restructuring initiative. The company had initially reported plans to cut 410 jobs but later updated the total in a WARN notice. These layoffs are expected to be permanent, with the first phase starting on July 15 and concluding by the end of the month. Intel aims to reduce its global workforce by 20%, which translates to approximately 21,000 employees.
