Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan announced Thursday that hybrid employees must return to the office at least four days a week by September, according to Investopedia. Tan said Intel's offices should be vibrant hubs of collaboration, echoing other major U.S. companies that are scaling back pandemic-era remote work policies. Intel’s letter accompanied a weak quarterly forecast and outlined structural changes, including a flatter management model, fewer meetings, and reduced bureaucracy. While it didn’t formally announce layoffs, it confirmed that job cuts are imminent.
