Sony will lay off 10 Thousand The employees?

According to the Nikkei newspaper," Sony's meeting to be held on Thursday the 12th of April aimed at the possibility of laying off 10 thousand employees", in other words about" 6 percent of all Sony employees around the world". Japanese newspaper added that the six chief executives, including chairman and former CEO Howard Stringer will be asked to forgo their bonuses will be. Sony has not commented on this at least until next Thursday.


 Sony suffered losses up to $ 2.7 billion from April 2011 until March 2012 then and certainly should make cuts everywhere. These cuts are part of the strategy of" Sony's new CEO, Kazuo Hirai". The former head of the division's success in leading the PlayStation division was employed to end the isolation between the divisions that could hurt the company. Maybe isolation is exactly what makes Apple with its iPod Sony is able to shift from the position as the king of portable music player.


 Sony Walkman division had trouble getting support for digital music store that can compete with iTunes, plus Sony's MiniDisc format and insisted on using a rarely used file formats such as ATRAC. Instead, Apple makes a music player with a full ecosystem of enormous support to the music player itself.
