Beleaguered ChipMaker Intel confirmed the planning of reshaping a turn consisting of an unknown number of work. It was reported that the company could Lies around 20 percent of the staff (At the end of last year there were 108,900 employees). In a memorial, New CEO Lip-this tan It was mainly refused to detail the reduction rate of “unnecessary bureaucracy” and reducing the layers of the average leadership.

“In philosophy, I am a great believer who is the best person who is the best of leaders. This includes strengthening our best talent to accept our greatest talent and have the main priorities” Tan wrote. “There is no way that these critical changes will reduce the size of our workforce. When joining me, we need to make very harsh decisions to put the company a strong leg for the future. This will move as soon as possible in the next few months.”

Efficiencies here are the name of the game. Tan wants to get rid of the unnecessary meetings and the number of people participating in the meetings “very valuable time is wasted.” Intel expands the returning mandate with four days (over three days) starting in September (three) to employees to be in places per week.

Tan, of course, has high goals as it seems to turn around Intel’s luck. “I speak about the opportunity to reveal an industrial icon. “Intel was once seen as widespread in the world. There is no reason why we cannot get back as much as we have taken the changes we need.”
