SINGAPORE : Computer maker Sun Microsystems has retrenched some employees in Singapore.
Responding to Channel NewsAsia's queries, Sun said this is part of the global workforce reduction announced in November last year.
A Sun spokesperson pointed out that the company had said then it was going to retrench up to 6,000 workers. That represents about 18 per cent of the company's global workforce.
The company declined to give details on how many were laid off in Singapore or which departments they were from. It also declined to reveal how many staff it employs in Singapore.
The Sun spokesperson said the changes are aimed at aligning its cost model with the global economy.
Sun said it will continue to streamline its operations and align resources to address market opportunities. - CNA /ls
