Police detained a worker at Intel’s sprawling Hillsboro campus Saturday morning who was reportedly having a mental health crisis and threatening others.

Police placed a mental health hold on the individual, who was taken to a local hospital. The person does not face criminal charges, said Officer Zac Storm, a spokesperson for the Hillsboro Police Department.

“It appears an employee was having a mental health crisis and was threatening other employees,” Storm said in an email. No injuries were reported.


Morale seems to be low at Intel.

I hope this person gets the help they need.

Large scale layoffs and facilities closure can be traumatic experiences for some people. I hope Intel has upped security for everyone around, and also hope they have good human resources to keep things as professional-but-human as possible.

I supported Space Systems in Newtown, PA for Lockheed Martin during a major plant closure. We saw a lot of weird behaviors, including defacement of the men's bathrooms in a very unsanitary way. There was also a lady who refused to leave 'because she had more work to do'. It was 7pm on Friday and she was told to leave at 10am to get full pay for the day. She hadn't accepted reality, yet..
 
Much more common than people realize. We only hear about it when it is Intel or when someone gets killed. Hopefully this person gets the proper help and does not end up on Youtube or Tik Tok.
 
Isn't this a problem with the mental health of the employee, rather than the problem of Intel's layoff?
It's true that Intel's current unstable state is the cause of mental instability...
I don't think it's possible to determine, it's possible that the cause is private

This is OregonLive trying to stay relevant at the cost of a private citizen who needs help. I hope people cancel their subscriptions to this shameless website before it happens to them.

Large public companies layoff people on a regular basis. Microsoft posted big numbers yet they have laid of 15,000 employees thus far in 2025. AI is going to accelerate this in the coming years. I guess corporate American had better start staffing up mental health professionals otherwise they may get cancelled by social media.

Good for the shareholders though and upper management which is all that counts no?

They are lucky someone isnt going postal.
