In December of this year, Texas Instruments is set to initiate a fresh wave of layoffs across the United States. On September 25, the company had already informed its workforce that approximately 400 employees would be impacted. This round of layoffs is intricately linked to the impending shutdown of the last remaining 150mm wafer manufacturing plant in North Texas.

Previously, Texas Instruments had pledged its support to employees involved in the final stages of decommissioning the old facility, offering them priority consideration for job opportunities in the new plant area. The company emphasized that it consistently evaluates and refines its operational efficiency to bolster its long-term strategic vision. Having already implemented certain organizational changes, Texas Instruments reiterated that its foremost priority is to stand by its employees. Furthermore, the company underscored its unwavering, long-term commitment to North Texas.

According to The Dallas Morning News, December 12 will mark the final working day for over 150 employees at the Dallas 150mm wafer plant. Earlier in June, Texas Instruments unveiled a substantial investment plan exceeding $60 billion aimed at boosting chip manufacturing capabilities within the United States. The new factory, once operational, is anticipated to create up to 60,000 job opportunities.
