Royal Enfield lays off nearly 100 employees.According to a report in CNBC-TV18 the employees are being disengaged as part of a review that began in April. “Around 90-100 employees are being disengaged from the company as part of the normal annual performance evaluation process. This is part of the usual annual employee evaluation done every year. The company is extending all possible support to these employees,” said the company in a statement to CNBC-TV18. Sources familiar with the matter revealed that the company has disengaged employees across functions and positions ranging from executives to senior managers.
