More on the job cuts at Universal Music in the US which we've been reporting on of late. Following job losses earlier in the month at Universal's Island Def Jam division, the cuts last week were mainly taking place at Interscope and Geffen. According to MediaTakeOut.com sixty full timers were axed there during the week, which may or may not be true, but if it is that's somewhat more than initial indications. With jobs also disappearing over at SonyBMG US, reports of cuts coming in from Universal Music over here, and surely a cull due sometime soon at the all new EMI, it ain't a good time to be working at a major record company. Unless you have digital in your job title. Or you cleverly claimed to have artist management or touring experience when you last submitted a CV.
