In a context of intense competition, high operating costs, and changes in consumption habits, the United States is facing a new wave of mass layoffs across the country. Companies are adjusting their structures to sustain margins while the labor market shows signs of strain.
In this scenario, a giant company has confirmed a historic cut that will affect thousands of workers. This announcement adds to a climate of labor instability that is affecting several key sectors and could continue over the next few months.
A major company announced mass cuts: who will be affected?
The cut amounts to 15% of the workforce in the United States, includes a reduction of more than 20% in non-union management positions, and the conversion of 180 company-owned stores into franchised locations. The company seeks to simplify its structure and reduce costs after multimillion-dollar investments in 5G networks and recent acquisitions.
It is Verizon. According to Reuters, the company will eliminate around 15,000 jobs, the largest adjustment in the company’s history. The decision comes from its new CEO, Dan Schulman, who is driving a deep restructuring to face competition and the decline in subscribers.
