Lenovo, one of the largest tech employers in North Carolina's Research Triangle, confirmed Monday that companywide job cuts will affect its local workforce.
Postings on the online message board TheLayoff.com suggest job cuts at Lenovo began late last week. The PC computer maker declined to say how many positions will be eliminated.
Based in Hong Kong, Lenovo has had its North American headquarters in Morrisville since 2006. As of October, the company had employed roughly 5,100 people in the United States, with its largest employee base in North Carolina. Citing company policy, Lenovo spokespeople declined to share the exact number of workers in the Triangle.
