In the 15 years I've worked for my current employer, it's gone through a number of such exercises, most recently only a few months ago.
True enough but the changes are significant for a different reason. It seems that Sony is pulling production and service back to Japan. The entire TV production in the US is being shut down and even the service centers are being shut down. So it is more than just reducing the work force.
