Thousands of Sony employees will be fired this year
As previously reported, Sony is in the toughest ever in the mobile sector and is planning to cut more than 1,000 jobs from its mobile phone division.
It is expected that the cuts will take place mainly in Europe and China, and after this cut, the number of Sony Mobile employees will drop to about 30%, or only about 5,000 people by the end of March 2016.
Sony tried to gain a foothold in the smartphone market and regain profits, but last year, the Japanese electronics company still lost $ 1.7 billion in its mobile and each cut 1,000 jobs from the department in 2013.
In the difficult business situation, it seems that Sony is trying to do all it can to continue to regain profit, including changing annual high-end phone release plans and cutting numbers Released overall mobile phones throughout the year.
According to a reputable source, the official announcement of the cut will be made in the Japanese company's earnings report on February 4.
