Sony Ericsson cuts 450 jobs in the U.S.
Quite a long time there were rumors that Sony Ericsson is going to cut up to 2000 jobs, but has long remained unconfirmed, where exactly will it happen. The restructuring, which is symptomatic, began with North American offices in North Carolina, where by the end of the week will be cut 450 jobs.
The fact that such unpopular measures will be carried out, the leaders of Sony Ericsson reported yet in the middle of the summer. This decision relates to the large losses suffered by the company for the first half of 2008. To come out of the difficult situation the company has developed a new development scheme, under which 2,000 jobs will be cut.
It should be noted that staff reductions begin in North America, where the company has a very weak position. Apparently, Sony Ericsson acknowledged one more time its inability to get better sales resutls in the massive U.S. market - which is pretty good news, by the way, for the Korean company LG.
