Electronics giant Sony has announced plans to cut 10,000 jobs worldwide as part of a restructuring programme.

The job cuts, which represent about 7% of the company’s workforce, will be achieved by March 2008, the firm said.

About 4,000 jobs will go in Japan, with the remaining 6,000 cuts overseas. The company will also close or sell 11 of its 65 manufacturing plants.

Of course, the real story is that they want to start replacing their work force with those cool little QRIO robots. Dance QRIO, dance!
