Security software vendor Symantec has sacked its Australian tech support team and outsourced the positions to India, as part of a global restructuring campaign.

Symantec announced a company-wide “organisational simplification initiative” in January, emphasising at the time it would be reducing executive and middle management positions, and reorganising its sales department. 

The strategy was put into place by new Symantec chief executive officer Steve Bennett, who joined the company in 2012 after former CEO Enrique Salem was let go for poor earnings results.  “We are reducing the number of layers, and increasing spans of control for our managers to industry standard levels in an effort to increase the speed of decision making and to improve accountability and execution,” Bennett said at the time.
