Plantronics lays off engineers, moves operations jobs to Mexico

SANTA CRUZ -- Headset-maker Plantronics is making staff changes that affect 41 employees in Santa Cruz, including layoffs in engineering, vice president of global communications Genevieve Haldeman said Friday.

"The majority of those impacted were in operations or back office roles, although there were a handful in engineering," she said.

The operations roles are being moved to Plantronics' existing facility in Mexico, which has about 2,000 employees, she added.

About 550 people work in the Santa Cruz office.

Employees got the news as Plantronics made an appearance at the Consumer Electronics Show, the world's largest consumer technology trade show, which wrapped up Friday in Las Vegas.

Plantronics' Voyager Legend headset, Blackwire 720 headset, Calisto 620 speakerphone, M55 headset and Find MyHeadset application were named International CES Innovations 2013 Honorees.
