Bell Cuts Management Posts

Things are not looking good for Bell Canada, especially if you happen to be a manager. The mobile service provider is cutting down 2,500 management posts from its staff, reducing its total workforce by 6%.

These changes include the 30% reduction in executive positions announced on July 11. Combined with other reductions undertaken earlier this year, the changes announced are expected to provide annualized savings of approximately $300 million.

The job cuts affect those in management posts only, so first-line customer service personnel will retain their work. Could this be in preparation for the upcoming competition? Bell seems to be starting its adjustment phase early, so we'll see how this goes.
