Employees Informed to Attend Meetings via Emails

CNA reports that employees were asked to attend one-on-one meetings through emails. The report adds that an employee, who wished to remain anonymous, said, “A human resources representative in the meeting room told us that the position was redundant and asked us to pack up and leave.”Furthermore, the same employee noticed multiple envelopes, suggesting that several other workers may have faced a similar experience. “Everyone is in shock, and morale is low because they don’t know when their turn will come,” the employee was quoted as saying by CNA.

The layoffs at Dyson are reportedly in the manufacturing and procurement sectors, with employees facing low morale despite Dyson’s efforts to boost investment in Singapore, its home country.
