Intel, a leading tech giant headquartered in California, is set to make significant staffing reductions at its Folsom facility in Sacramento County. This week, Intel filed a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) with the state, outlining its plan to lay off 272 employees at its location on Prairie City Road. The layoffs are scheduled to take effect on November 15. In addition to this, Intel has announced 47 additional job cuts at its San Jose campus.

These decisions are part of Intel's broader cost-saving measures originally unveiled in August. According to a statement released to KCRA 3, Intel described these layoffs as "hard but necessary decisions" aimed at fostering a more streamlined, efficient company structure. The goal is to realign operations to support Intel's strategic vision for long-term sustainable growth. This initiative underscores Intel's commitment to evolving into a more agile organization, even as the company acknowledges the challenging nature of these decisions.

Intel emphasized that they are handling the layoffs with a focus on care and respect for the affected employees. Looking ahead, Intel will announce its financial results for the third quarter of 2024 on October 31. This report is highly anticipated as it will provide further insights into the company's ongoing restructuring efforts and financial health.
