“All impacted employees are being notified of separation with at least 60-days notice, with the first separations presently scheduled to occur during a 14-day period commencing on March 15, 2023,” states the notice. “Additional separations are expected after the 30-day period beginning March 15, 2023.”

The notice added that select impacted employees may find comparable roles within Intel and remain employed in a different capacity at the company.
