标 题: Intel to Cut More Than 5,000 Jobs in 2014

Intel plans to trim more than 5,000 jobs from its workforce this year in an
effort to boost its earnings amid waning demand for its personal computer
chips.
The Santa Clara, Calif., company confirmed the job cuts Friday, the day
after Intel Corp. reported its profit and revenue had fallen for the second
consecutive year.
The purge represents about 5 percent of the roughly 108,000 jobs that Intel
had on its payroll at the end of December. The company intends to jettison
the jobs without laying off workers, said Intel spokesman Bill Calder. The
reductions instead will be achieved through attrition, buyouts and early
retirement offers.
The company didn't estimate how much money it hopes to save by eliminating
jobs. But Intel needs pare its expenses if it hopes to end a two-year slump
that has seen its earnings fall from $12.9 billion in 2011 to $9.6 billion
in 2013. Intel is forecasting its revenue this year will be about the same
as in 2013, making it unlikely its profits can rise without cost cuts.
This marks Intel's first significant job cuts since a company insider, Bryan
Krzanich, succeeded Paul Otellini as CEO eight months ago.
"We are constantly evaluating and realigning our resources to meet the needs
of our business," Calder said.
Intel's financial performance is faltering because the company didn't adapt
quickly enough as the growing popularity of smartphones and tablet computers
undercut sales of PCs running on its chips. Worldwide PC sales have dropped
from the previous year in seven consecutive quarters, an unprecedented
decline.
The trend is a problem for Intel because most mobile devices don't rely on
its processors.
As Intel has struggled to come up with a successful strategy for mobile
computing, the company has turned into a stock market laggard.
Since Intel's stock hit a five-year high of $29.27 in May 2012, the shares
have fallen by 12 percent. Meanwhile, the Standard & Poor's 500 index has
climbed by 31 percent.
Intel's stock dropped 69 cents Friday to close at $25.85, then dipped
another 4 cents in extended trading. | W*****r
