Potentially more painful to Stringer is a reported plan to cut managerial and executive bonuses for the year.
Nikkei reports that the 2,000 jobs Sony will cut at home — a fraction of the 16,000 positions it plans to eliminate worldwide — will be done through attrition, by leaving jobs vacated by retirement or resignation unfulfilled. The cuts are expected to be complete by the end of the company’s fiscal year.
