DePuy Synthes has cut an undisclosed number of jobs affecting the company's workforce in Warsaw, Ind., according to a Journal Gazette report.
As of two years ago, the company employed around 1,200 people in Warsaw. In an email, Lorie Gawreluk, vice president of worldwide communications, said that less than 2 percent of the company's 23,000-person global workforce is affected by the job eliminations. She also wrote that 80 new positions have been created; however, it is unclear how many of these will be in Warsaw.
"We hope impacted employees will strongly consider these positions as well as career opportunities across Johnson & Johnson," she said, according to the report.
