Image via CrunchBaseAs an Electronics and Communications Engineering (EcE) Student, I was surprised greatly when Intel made a huge announcement a day after Barack Obama's inauguration.
Intel is one of my dream company to work with after my graduation (hopefully this March) but with this headline focusing on Intel's closure is very disheartening. Electronics industries are really slowing down remarkably. For ECE graduating students like me, this is a great concern for us and think if we can land a job that relates to our field of expertise or soon realized that our course is no longer in demand? Time to shift to another course like Nursing? No way...
According to the company's statement, Intel will close down its entire facility in Cavite, and that means laying off as much as 1,800 employees. It’s really saddening to see this happening, considering the fact that many of their employees have been with them for over a decade. In a TV news, a reporter was able to talk to one of the higher managers at Intel, who will be one of those employees that will be laid off.
Not just intel but other chip makers like AMD - Intel's main rival, also suffers the same economic malaise.
