Samsung Electronics said Wednesday it was planning to cut jobs in some of its Asian operations, after a report that one in ten posts in affected markets could be axed.
The world's largest memory chipmaker is modifying staffing levels in Southeast Asia, Australia, and New Zealand, a company spokesman told AFP, adding that "the adjustments include job cuts".
The "routine workforce adjustments" are carried out "to improve operational efficiency," said Samsung Electronics in a statement.
"The company has not set a target number for any particular positions," added the maker of Galaxy smartphones.
Bloomberg reported however that the layoffs could affect about 10 percent of the workforce in those markets.
