LBT noted today between basketball, laser focus, humble, my BFF’S, that we need to get to 75K employees by end of the year, for you super geniuses this is about 13K more to go. (TSMC plus Nvidia) is 75K. Dont get too comfortable.

LBT is a genius
75K end of 2025. 55-60k 2026. Simple math for right profitability. Maybe even 50k if sales are good.
@nq job postings don't mean they are trying to fill all of them. Do some searches on phantom job postings. It is the new norm for companies to always have job postings listed with no intention of filling them. It helps give the illusion of a company that is doing well. They even remove old posts and put up new ones to keep the reqs current. Ask people who are currently looking for a job if they have run into this you will be surprised by the answers.
@13b If it is any consolation, all the Finance sheeple who did the calculation were laid off, along with their managers.
You know, to get to the 75k target.

TSMC headcount was 83,825 EOY 2024

NVIDIA headcount was 36,000 BOY 2025 https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/NVDA/nvidia/number-of-employees
Not sure how it was initially presented that both companies (TSMC and NVIDIA), one strictly doing manufacturing, and the other strictly design had a total combined headcount of 75,000, of which Intel (a design and manufacturing company / IPS and IFS ) is trying to benchmark its total headcount to.

I don't believe OP is ready for her 2026 badge flipping.
Layoffs don’t matter still over 300 US jobs currently posted at Intel.
Same old Intel Layoff and still hiring give it 12 months and the Intel employee numbers will be back up again
First exit wave on November 30. Next exit wave in February 2026.
Intel has no roadmap internally, all roadmap for the year is layoff, re-org and end-of-life existing applications because the engineers built them have left.
Nothing wrong with layoffs...
As long as the RIGHT PEOPLE get laid off!!
No employees, no product
No money, no Intel
Leadership failed and fired critical engineers and techs while keeping their own jobs
Just as long as def met remains untouched
ELTs are BS Corporate Raiders Invaders
Not a product innovation roadmap to be found
AMD just got the Open Ai contract
Make the product and sell the product
EKTs cant get the basics of a lemonaide stand and selling needed quality product to a satisfied customer
WinTel and MS Win11 su-ks wind
2026 No sales
2027 No sales
2028 No sales and when the billions get dried up in construction overruns and ELTs salaries
2029 IBM Motorola copy, then downtown and busted
LBT - the most humble guy who loves the smell of his own farts...
As for employees, only about 7K left to go. Still, not sure it will be hit.
Errand boys in all cases should be humble only Intel has an outstanding level of arrogance being where it is
Popcorn plus watch the titanic trailer wreck !!
