“The HR representative will be in the room. Unfortunately, reason given (was) the job is redundant, and we need to pack our things and prepare to leave,” the employee said.
“We won't know who was called into the room... (I) saw lots of envelope.”
Those laid off were from the manufacturing and procurement departments, said another employee who also spoke to CNA anonymously. Both are unsure how many employees were let go on Tuesday.
As of end-2023, Dyson employed more than 1,920 people in Singapore.
