"One of those who was recently retrenched is former business analyst Srividhya Ganapathy Sundaram, 29, from India. She said, “I am not ashamed to say that I lost my job due to Covid-19; in fact, it helps me to connect with others who are in similar situations, or potential employers.”
Should it be "were" instead?
Thanks.
@tanguatlay,
I believe 'was' is correct.
One...was. The sentence speaks specifically of just that one who has been retrenched

Thanks, Sturgis.
Could it be "one of THOSE HAVE been retrenched. Of those who have been retrenced, he is one of them." ?
Since it appears that Sturgis is not around, could someone else please help? Thanks.
@tanguatlay,
"One. . . has," not "one. . . have."
