Up to 100 people given the heave-ho at Sony HQ
Kotaku are reporting that approximately 80-100 staff from Sony Computer Entertainment America have been issued with their marching orders yesterday.
"In an effort to accurately align the company to meet the changing needs of our consumers and of our industry, Sony Computer Entertainment America has found it necessary to analyze our current business and to restructure the company as necessary to continue our standing as the market leader," SCEA spokesman Dave Karraker told the website. " These restructuring efforts are currently underway and do include the streamlining of our operations and other initiatives to further strengthen the business, reduce costs and increase operational efficiency. "
The news comes following the recent confirmation that over 100 employees from the likes of Sony Cambridge and Sony London studios were also given the heave-ho early this year.
Kotaku report that employees were asked to hand in their badges and work keys as they left the premises yesterday.
