Intel Layoffs: Company Announces Over 5,000 Job Cuts In US, Says Report
The layoffs are mainly likely to hit employees in California, Oregon, Arizona and Texas. Intel Layoffs 2025: In a fresh round of job cuts, chipmaker Intel is laying off over 5,000 employees in the US, Manufacturing Dive has reported citing updated Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification filings. Mainly, the layoffs are likely to hit employees in California, Oregon, Arizona and Texas. The layoffs are part of a broader restructuring plan to turn around the beleaguered company. The job cuts are estimated to be doubled for Santa Clara and Folsom to a total of 1,935 affected employees, according to the California WARN filings. The layoffs started in Folsom and Santa on July 11 and July 15. 'We are taking steps to become a leaner, faster and more efficient company… Removing organizational complexity and empowering our engineers will enable us to better serve the needs of our customers and strengthen our execution," Intel said in an email on July 9, according to Manufacturing Dive. Last month, Intel started job cuts and sacked 107 employees connected to its headquarters in Santa Clara, California. In a WARN notice, the company had said the layoffs are expected to begin July 15. Additionally, the company also decided to close down its automotive chip business, which was based in Munich, Germany, according to The Oregonian citing an internal memo. According to the memo, 'Intel plans to wind down the Intel architecture automotive business" and will lay off most of its workers in the section. Last month, reports citing CEO Lip-Bu Tan's internal memo suggested that Intel was planning to lay off 15%-20% workers from its chip manufacturing division. The move comes just a month after CEO Andy Jassy warned that adoption of generative AI tools would trigger a workforce reduction. The layoffs at Amazon come after similar action by global giants like Microsoft, Meta, and CrowdSrike recently. Many corporations are increasingly using artificial intelligence to write code for their software and adopting AI agents to automate routine tasks, as they look to save costs and cut reliance on people. CEO Lip-Bu Tan's Turnaround Plans Lip-Bu Tan, who assumed the role of Intel's CEO in March, said in April that the company plans to cut operating expenses by $500 million this year and another $1 billion next year. 'There is no way around the fact that these critical changes will reduce the size of our workforce," he had said. 'We must balance our reductions with the need to retain and recruit key talent," he said in the memo. 'I will empower each of my leaders to make the best possible decisions aligned with our top priorities. These decisions will not be made lightly, and we will keep you regularly informed." Tan has been working on sweeping reforms at Intel, including a revamp of its artificial intelligence (AI) roadmap and chip manufacturing operations. A key element of his plan involves trimming layers of middle management, which he sees as an impediment to faster execution and innovation. In a recent company-wide town hall, Tan cautioned employees that 'tough decisions" lay ahead. Tan, 65, previously served as CEO of Cadence Design Systems and was a member of Intel's board until August 2024. His appointment follows a challenging period for Intel, which reported a $19 billion annual loss in 2024 — its first in nearly four decades — and continues to lose market share to rivals like Nvidia and Arm, especially in the AI chip sector. Intel also announced mass layoffs in August last year. view comments Location : New Delhi, India, India First Published: July 19, 2025, 08:42 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Levi's layoffs highlight alarming retail trend
Like pretty much every other retail brand worldwide, Levi's Inc. faced challenges in the years following the worst of the Covid pandemic. But recently, things seemed to be going pretty well for the iconic company. During the company's first-quarter earnings call in April, CEO Michelle Gass said earnings were up by 8% year over year, although she warned that uncertainty around tariffs could shake things up. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter During the height of the pandemic, like many retailers, Levi's was able to build and staff logistics networks that allowed them to meet consumers' e-commerce demands. Distribution centers popped up across the U.S., fueled by assumptions that e-commerce growth would continue at a breakneck pace. But a few years later, consumers are increasingly cautious about discretionary spending, and the logistics boom seems to be starting to unwind. Retailers from Nike to Gap Inc. have pulled back on owning and operating their own fulfillment infrastructure, opting instead to outsource logistics to reduce capital expenditures, improve agility, and limit exposure to unpredictable consumer demand. Now, Levi's is part of the trend. On June 16, Levi Strauss & Co. filed a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Act (WARN) notice with Kentucky officials, with layoffs to begin August 18. Labor attorneys are now investigating whether Levi's provided employees with adequate advance notice under federal law, raising the possibility of legal exposure. Levi's decision to close its distribution center in Hebron, Kentucky, is the latest sign that the retail industry is trying to figure out how to meet customer demands. The closure will result in 364 job losses. Levi's announced the closure in June, citing a strategic shift toward a "hybrid" distribution model that relies more heavily on third-party logistics (3PL) partners. Related: Trader Joe's rivals could learn a lesson from the cult favorite company The facility has only been open for three years. It was designed to support growing e-commerce demand on the East Coast and was emblematic of Levi's pandemic-era logistics expansion. The closure reveals how quickly assumptions about consumer behavior and fulfillment strategy are being rethought. The company is changing its distribution strategy and will now rely on a mix of owned and third-party centers rather than strictly owned logistics operations, according to Supply Chain Dive. For Levi's, shedding fixed assets is part of a broader strategy to streamline operations and focus on high-growth, high-margin areas like direct-to-consumer sales. But the move also underscores the human and legal complexities of rapid transformation. Unionized workers at the Hebron facility reportedly have rights that may allow them to transfer into other roles within the company. Non-union workers, however, may not have the same protections. The Kentucky layoffs follow broader cutbacks at Levi's. Earlier this year, the company cut 10-15% of its corporate workforce, divested from its Dockers brand, and reaffirmed a strategic focus on premium positioning and DTC growth. Gass, who took the helm in 2024, has signaled a clear shift from volume to margin. Her approach is increasingly common for legacy apparel brands as they battle possible tariffs, inflation, rising labor costs, and tightening consumer spending. Related: Another struggling mall retail chain closing more stores The rapid rise and fall of the Hebron distribution center also reflects a broader misalignment between long-term infrastructure bets and short-term demand realities. Like many retailers, Levi's built for a future of sustained e-commerce acceleration, only to be confronted with a post-pandemic plateau. Levi's isn't alone. Since 2023, Amazon has closed or delayed dozens of fulfillment centers. FedEx and UPS have restructured their networks. Even Walmart has slowed its fulfillment center expansion as part of a more cautious approach to logistics investment. The pandemic may have reshaped consumer expectations, but it has also forced retailers to rethink what operational resilience and adaptability look like. For Levi's, the transition to a hybrid model is designed to enable faster pivots and reduce overhead. Gass is expected to address the layoffs at Levi's Q2 earnings call later this week (July 10, 2025).
