? 1000 served notice on the Sony Lund
Until now Sony Mobile had about 2 000 employees in Lund that are primarily involved with software development. The reduction thus implies a fairly accurate halving of the workforce.
- We have reached an agreement on the organization and staffing should look like and how many employees and consultants who are affected by the cutback, says Kajsa Petersson, Head of Communications at Sony Mobile in Lund to 8till5.
– In large almost all departments and functions are concerned, we do not want to comment on it in detail, but it is not just a skill group that is concerned, but it beats wide .
Sony Mobile notice was the first in a series of cutbacks and shutdowns suffered by the Swedish telecommunications industry in the spring. The same week, Ericsson went out and gave notice to 2,200 employees. In addition, Ericsson cut down consultant workforce by 850 consultants.
Although the Canadian mobile manufacturer Blackberry has in the spring announced that they lay down their Sweden Trade – which affects more than 90 employees in Malmö and Gothenburg where it had operations.
