LBT promises no more layoff
Yes more layoffs expected in 2026 at Intel because the executives only care about their own startup companies with Intel free money from the government and Intel capital fund. Wake up and open your eyes to start searching for new jobs.
So, you're telling me there might be a chance?

Intel has been undergoing significant layoffs, with plans to cut around 25,000 jobs by the end of 2025 as part of a strategy to streamline operations and improve efficiency. These layoffs have affected various locations, including Oregon, California, and Arizona, impacting thousands of employees across different departments.

Future Outlook
Intel's ongoing restructuring efforts and market conditions may lead to further layoffs or changes in workforce strategy. Employees are encouraged to stay connected with their networks and explore new opportunities as the company navigates these challenges.
Couple of things point to where we are heading for headcount. First, the performance review is more stringent for 2025 and beyond. Managers have to identify a low performer in their team - this group plus RTO compliance set the layoff targets in 2026. By recent email, the Foundry hit its headcount goal for 2025. But 2026 may have a new goal. Will see in 2026 Q1.
Intel will go down
But Intel already went down on the great leader and that man is so fickle. Do you think doing it again will have any effect?
@h2 intel and AI doesn't go together. So no, only Intel will burst
I've heard that Intel will go down in the AI bubble collapse of 2026.
Great, the Oregonian Troll has created a master thread.
If true, this could actually help Intel - like Microstrategy with Bitcoin. Intel’s troubles could be over! Could well be a stock buying opportunity. Maybe buy buy buy! Whaddya think? Let me know in the comments.
Are you crazy? Lip bu Tan is using Intel to buy his own startups not the startups that will actually help in the long run.
Basically he is using the company to profit from it. There is no new technology being researched, nor the 18a yield is not good either. Stock will be stale until they can sell individual parts of the company through downsizing .
As you can see, the CEO is using Intel fund to buy startups, and invest in other companies.

2025 just the beginning of mass layoffs
2026 the continue momentum of mass layoffs
2027 the acceleration of mass layoffs
2028 full speed layoffs at its maximum
2029 … ???
2030 … the END ?
Go bankrupt or sell to the US government. As you can see, the CEO is using Intel fund to buy startups, and invest in other companies. No new investment in TD or Intel itself. Intel groups will be sold gradually, and more layoffs each quarterly, until it is smaller to be sold or go bankrupt.
Declare bankruptcy and more layoff as 18A yields are worst than fake data.
no more major layoff, maybe small quiet one
@bp if the layoffs hurt “the effort” why
not cancel them?
50K by the end of 2026
Employees that have ignored RTO will be let go, not a layoff but fired.
Yes, there is chatter. Yes, there is news and there are rumors. It's not helpful to the effort.
Stop worrying about it, layoffs will come regardless in January.
It's the holidays!
Go spend time with loved ones
