Expert Verified By

Two Interim Co-CEOs Have Been Appointed!

Story Highlight
  • Intel laid off 15k employees due to its rough financial condition.
  • The company has been facing a lot of troubles, and during them, its CEO has resigned. 
  • Now, the company has hired two interim co-CEOs, and the board of directors will conduct a search for a new CEO.

Intel has been in a pretty rough condition recently. There have been many rumors about the acquisition, and the company even laid off a lot of its employees to cover for the losses. More changes in the company that could negatively affect it would be too deadly now. 

However, Intel’s CEO just recently quit, and now the company has lost one of its most important assets amid so many troubles. 

Why it matters: Intel laid off 15k employees due to the losses it was facing, and it just might not be able to survive this massive blow.
