Virgin Media O2 is preparing to remove thousands of posts from its workforce, the BBC has reported, though the broadband provider has not yet confirmed the exact total.
According to the BBC, the final figure has not been finalised but is expected to represent a sizeable chunk of the company's staff. Details on which teams, locations or levels will be most affected were not made public in the initial reporting.
It remains unclear whether the reductions will be implemented through voluntary redundancies, compulsory layoffs or a combination of measures. The timing of any announcement and the timetable for affected employees has also not been disclosed.
Further information on the scope of the cuts, the reasons behind them and any response from Virgin Media O2 has not been provided in the BBC's report. The development will be closely watched by staff, industry observers and customers as more details emerge.
