E' apparsa oggi su The Inquirer, la notizia che Intel nei prossimi giorni sarà costretta (forced) al licenziamento di ben 4000 dipendenti. Il colosso americano parla però di "prudent cost cutting measures". Dobbiamo crederci?

INTEL SAID IT WAS BEING forced to cut 4000 jobs because of flatness in the PC market. Most are slated for the remaining months in 2002, but the chip giant reckons that it will be able to lose them through non-replacement, voluntary redundancies, and perhaps by selling some peripheral businesses off.

The job cuts came as CEO Craig Barrett reported that Intel's revenues were down seven per cent on the previous quarter. Revenues were $6.3 billion for its second quarter.
