Microchip said Monday the 2,000 layoffs will save $80 million to $90 million on an annual basis. In addition to Oregon and Colorado Springs, Microchip will lay off workers at a factory in the Philippines and 10% of its office workers.

But in a presentation to investment analysts, CEO Steve Sanghi said Microchip was "doing a slightly smaller layoff" at Gresham while maintaining rotating, two-week time-off periods for workers for two more quarters.
