What else do we know about these layoffs for Samsung?

關於三星的這些裁員，我們還知道些什麼？

Well, the layoffs we're hearing relate to the overseas subsidiaries in particular.

我們聽說的裁員主要涉及海外子公司。

So we're not talking about the headquarters in Korea, but it does actually affect possibly, well, there are 150,000 staff overseas, and that's more than half of Samsung's entire workforce.

是以，我們談論的不是韓國總部，但它實際上可能會影響到海外的 15 萬名員工，這相當於三星全部員工的一半以上。

The markets, though, where job losses are occurring this time, we're hearing are Australia, New Zealand, and also Southeast Asia.

不過，我們聽說這次出現失業的市場有澳洲、紐西蘭和東南亞。

And about 10% of the market or the workforce in those markets could end up being affected, though the numbers are likely to vary among each subsidiary as well.

在這些市場中，約有 10%的市場或勞動力可能最終受到影響，但各子公司受影響的人數也可能有所不同。

We are hearing, though, that they have got underway.

不過，我們聽說他們已經開始行動了。

So some of our colleagues, for instance, have spoken to someone familiar in Singapore, and they're saying that on Tuesday, so just yesterday, different people were being pulled into meetings with HR, with reporting managers, and shared what would end up being their severance or their retrenchment packages.

例如，我們的一些同事與新加坡的熟人談過，他們說就在本週二，也就是昨天，不同的人被拉去與人力資源部門、彙報經理開會，分享他們的遣散費或裁員方案。

I've also heard that Samsung has been laying off other staff recently.

我還聽說三星最近還在裁員。

Yes, we've had other reporting on this as well of late.

Those positions could have been eliminated in India and also parts of Latin America.

在印度和拉丁美洲部分地區，這些職位可能已被取消。

It is important, though, to reflect on the types of positions that are being eliminated.

It is an interesting moment for Samsung.

I mean, this chart here puts it in perspective.

我的意思是，這張圖表就能說明問題。

You're looking at a more than 20% drop for the company versus what we've seen from other high-flying tech companies this year.

與我們今年看到的其他高增長科技公司相比，該公司的跌幅超過了 20%。

I mean, it's really had quite a different tail.

我是說，它的尾巴真的很不一樣。

What is leading some of those issues for Samsung is the perception that it's falling behind in key markets.

導致三星出現這些問題的原因是，人們認為它在關鍵市場上落後了。

So key to powering AI tools.

是以，這也是人工智能工具的關鍵所在。

Samsung's really playing catch-up to SK Hynix here in Korea in this key area.

在這一關鍵領域，三星在韓國確實正在追趕 SK Hynix。

It's also trying to build out its foundry business, compete with the likes of TSMC, but it's still a very far cry from doing just that.

該公司還在努力拓展其代工業務，與臺積電等公司競爭，但距離實現這一目標還很遙遠。
