Intel to Lay Off Over 10,000 Employees with No Severance
Massive Workforce Reduction to Begin in July
by Anochie Esther June 22, 2025
In a move set to reshape the global semiconductor landscape, Intel Corporation will lay off between 15% and 20% of its Intel Foundry division workforce beginning July 2025. The reduction impacting more than 10,000 employees worldwide marks one of the most severe rounds of job cuts in Intel’s history and signals a significant shift in how the company intends to operate amid financial and strategic headwinds.
The cuts are part of a broader restructuring effort spearheaded by Intel’s new CEO, Lip-Bu Tan, who assumed leadership in March 2025. These layoffs follow two earlier rounds in the past year, bringing total job eliminations to over 35,000 positions since August 2024.
“Difficult But Essential,” Says Manufacturing VP
In an internal memo sent over the weekend and reviewed by The Oregonian, Naga Chandrasekaran, Intel’s Vice President of Manufacturing, acknowledged the emotional toll of the impending layoffs.
“These are difficult actions but essential to meet our affordability challenges and current financial position of the company. It drives pain to every individual,” Chandrasekaran wrote.
The memo highlighted that the layoffs will span across 15 wafer fabrication plants in 10 global locations, impacting a wide range of positions from cleanroom floor technicians and material handlers to senior R&D engineers working on next-generation microprocessors.
No Severance Packages Offered
In a stark departure from past precedent, no severance packages or voluntary buyouts will be offered to affected employees. Instead, Intel will make decisions based on a combination of performance evaluations, skill assessments, strategic portfolio adjustments, and project prioritization.
“These reductions will be based on a combination of portfolio changes, level and position elimination, skill assessment for remaining positions, and some hard decisions around our project investments,” Chandrasekaran noted. “We are also taking into consideration factory operations impact.”
