Intel Job Cuts More than Doubling in California, Employees 'Walking on Eggshells'
Intel's CEO said layoffs are necessary to optimize headcount.
Intel is increasing the number of job cuts it had planned for California from 201 to 544 workers.
That’s according to Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) notices with the California Employment Development Department.
Intel is cutting 201 workers at its headquarters in Santa Clara. That’s up from 90. Expect the layoffs to be complete by the end of this month.
In addition, Intel originally planned to cut 111 employees at its Folsom facility. That number has since climbed to 343. The first separations should be during a 14-day period starting March 15. The company will release more workers after that.

The layoffs are permanent. It is possible that some impacted employees may find comparable roles within Intel and remain employed.
