Description
Logitech, the Swiss manufacturer of keyboards, webcams and other computer accessories has announced plans to cut 300 workers from it's global workforce.

The global restructuring has been attributed to a drop in consumer demand and spending after the pandemic. As part of the restructuring, the company has also hired a new Chief Financial Officer and revised its financial outlook for 2023.
