Intel brings back workers’ free coffee, seeking to stem morale decline


“We know this is a small step, but we hope it is a meaningful one."

Intel told employees this week that it will bring back free coffee and tea at its work sites, one of many benefits the chipmaker eliminated last summer as it sought to slash $10 billion from its annual budget. Employees say privately that morale has been devastated by Intel’s poor financial performance and by cutbacks aimed at returning the business to profitability. In addition, Intel permanently grounded its air shuttle that flew workers between its offices in Oregon and other western states.
