900 jobs gone at Rogers

Rogers Communications is to cut another 900 jobs nationwide to streamline its management and better compete against rivals Bell Canada and Telus Corp., a cut which accounts for around 3% of the company’s 30,000-strong workforce. Rogers did not break out the latest job cuts in terms of geography or division, and only indicated they will fall more heavily on backroom operations as the company continues to hire more ‘customer-facing’ employees, including at call centers.
