Layoffs Begin As Symantec Cuts $200 Million In Costs
Symantec Corp. on Thursday began a series of layoffs that had first been announced in January. The company had announced two months ago to reduce its cost structure by $200 million. At the time, the company said it would be making cuts in “a number of areas”, including a 5% cut in money paid out in salaries. A company spokesman said he could not say how many people will be let go but did confirm that the layoffs began on Thursday. When Symantec made the layoff announcement in January, shares climbed by 4% in early trading the next day. At the time, it was announced that the cost-cutting package was planned to include reductions in new hires, contractor spending and travel, along with facility consolidation, and unspecified cuts out of the current workforce.
