In wake of Post Office Horizon scandal, global execs set new profit target, and Irish ops fell short
Hundreds of those Post Office employees were wrongly convicted of fraud, some attempted suicide, with sadly four cases resulting in death, and 33 have since died and are unable to see justice served. Fujitsu has said it will compensate victims.
Adam Trill, Fujitsu's head of Ireland, told staff at the Dublin-based HQ last night that operations in Ireland are ceasing.:"Skeleton staff will remain to fulfill the existing contracts until their natural expiry. No new bids are allowed. A lot of people are being made redundant, except some in the Delivery teams to keep the lights on for the next year or two.The official reason ventured is that Fujitsu has now set a 10 percent profit margin target across the group.
A Fujitsu employee added:"I feel it is a great injustice to people who invested their lives in the company, lived through decades of ups and downs, seen worse times and survived, and are now being let go, irrelevant of whether their projects have been generating revenue or not. And the entire entity known as 'Fujitsu Ireland' is being shut down.
"Going forward, Fujitsu plans to refocus its Irish operations on the fulfilment of its existing customer contractual commitments. These plans are subject to consultation with employee representatives and Fujitsu will be providing support for all those affected in the coming months.
