Layoffs

Asia

Malaysia's oldest newspaper publisher, Media Mulia, agreed to reassess a paid leave program affecting nearly 100 employees and to explore alternatives to layoffs, after planning to cut 100 staff.

Leadership read: Reductions rarely fall evenly, and the read is in the pattern. For Media Mulia in the sector, cuts like this tend to protect, and sometimes deepen, leadership where the company is betting, while thinning the rest. Across Asia, watch which functions keep or add leadership; that is the strategy stated plainly.
