Philips spin-off Signify to cut 1,000 jobs with market challenges ahead
Signify is cutting 1,000 jobs, including about 500 in the Netherlands, CEO Eric Rondolat announced with the company’s annual and quarterly figures. The lighting company previously divested from Philips is struggling with challenging market conditions and needs to make cuts, Rondolat said on the company's Friday morning investor call. Profit at the company fell substantially last year, and investors on the call were frustrated that Rondolat and his team did not provide solid sales and revenue forecasts for the coming periods.
