Store oppsigelser

“Store oppsigelser” translates from Norwegian to “large layoffs” or “mass dismissals.” This term refers to the situation where a company or organization terminates the employment of a significant number of employees simultaneously. Such layoffs can occur due to various reasons, including economic downturns, restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, or efforts to reduce costs. The term emphasizes the scale of the layoffs, indicating that they are not isolated incidents but rather part of a broader workforce reduction strategy. These mass layoffs can have significant impacts on the affected employees, the organization, and the local economy.
