NEW YORK: Intel Corp, struggling with a rapid drop in revenue and earnings, is cutting management pay across the company to save cash it needs to invest in a turnaround plan.

Chief executive officer Pat Gelsinger is taking a 25% cut to his basic salary, the chipmaker said. His executive leadership team will see their pay decrease by 15%. Senior managers will take a 10% reduction and the compensation for mid-level managers will be cut by 5%.

Hourly workers and employees below the seventh tier in the company’s system won’t be affected.

“As we continue to navigate macroeconomic headwinds and work to reduce costs across the company, we’ve made several adjustments to our 2023 employee compensation and rewards programmes,” Intel said in a statement.

“These changes are designed to impact our executive population more significantly and will help support the investments and overall workforce needed to accelerate our transformation and achieve our long-term strategy.”
