Distributer TD SYNNEX let go of around 100 employees two months after the IT distribution giant implemented a voluntary severance programme.
More than 300 employees took the voluntary severance package, and the 100 who have been let go wanted to stay.
Seen leaving the building with their belongings in a photocopy box included sales reps, vendor business and solutions reps, business development managers, and finance employees.
The company said that the layoffs are related to “merger synergies” after the 2021 merger of Tech Data and Synnex.
“Our most recent actions are related to our commitments to achieving merger synergies, but beyond that, we do not comment publicly on specific details,” the company said.
The voluntary severance program from TD SYNNEX was available to US employees who were at least 58 years of age and had at least five full years of service to the company.
The distributor had approximately 23,500 full-time co-workers globally as of August, according to a company press release.
