Philips announces more jobs cuts; 6,000 employees to be fired
Dutch health technology company Philips has announced that it plans to lay off 6,000 more employees. The company has been battling losses following the recall of its faulty sleep apnea treatment devices. The recall led to Philips losing 70% of its market valuation. The new job cuts will be in addition to the termination of 4,000 roles the firm announced in October last year.
荷兰医疗设备巨头周一表示，计划到2025年在全球范围内进一步裁员6000人，以恢复盈利能力。此前，该公司召回了一些呼吸设备，导致其市值缩水70%。
由于担心机器中使用的泡沫可能有毒，该公司召回了数百万台用于治疗睡眠呼吸暂停的呼吸机，此次重组是在10月份宣布的裁员5%(4000个工作岗位)计划的基础上进行的。
此次裁员将有一半在今年进行，飞利浦表示，预计此次重组将在未来几个季度产生约3亿欧元(3.26亿美元)的成本。
