Samsung Electronics is undergoing a comprehensive personnel restructuring as it moves the headquarters of its consumer electronics division in the US from New Jersey to Texas. The company announced that 739 positions are affected by these changes and most employees were offered relocation. However, some personnel who did not accept the move or were not offered it had their employment terminated.
According to Reuters, the jobs of approximately 100 people, including mobile unit employees, were also terminated at the Plano, Texas office. This development came as a huge surprise to employees who opened a new office in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, just about a year ago. Samsung stated that the decision aims to increase collaboration between teams and become more integrated into the technology ecosystem.
While the company's semiconductor unit is growing at a record pace thanks to demand for artificial intelligence chips, the consumer electronics side is facing rising costs and competitive pressure. Analysts predict that Samsung's mobile unit could post a loss for the first time. While there is concern among employees that this structural change could be the first step of a broader consolidation, the company stated that it does not plan a global restructuring.
