Rogers Communications Inc. is offering voluntary departure packages to 50 per cent of its employees, the largest round of buyout offers in the sector in recent years as telecom revenue growth has slowed across the industry and as companies look to shed costs.
On Monday, Rogers said that about half of its 25,000 employees across numerous business divisions will be offered packages, but did not say whether it had a reduction target.
No indication yet of what role AI may have played in the decision.
When I closed my Rogers account they forced me to speak with a member of their ‘Customer Loyalty” team who as I found out was located in the Philippines.
