Rogers cuts 900 jobs due to “intensifying competition”
Rogers has announced that due to “intensifying competition” they are cutting about 900 executive and management positions… this is in hopes to streamline their operations. The 900 jobs, mostly in marketing and communications, human resources, and technology support operations represents about 3% of their operations across Canada.
Rogers spokeswoman Terrie Tweddle said “The goal was to streamline the organization, remove the number of layers and enable quick and faster decision making. We actually continue to hire and invest in resources, particularly in customer-facing areas, while we’re going through the reorganization”.
Rogers president and CEO Nadir Mohamed said “Our industry is in transition with products and networks converging, product cycles maturing and customer expectations increasing. To remain the industry leader, we need to work and operate differently.”

Scanning the headline quickly, I misread and thought that Rogers was getting the N900. Darn.

I just hope this means lower rate plans, but knowing Rogers, I doubt that too.
And to Sam A.’s comment, well said. I wouldn’t be surprised they add that fee on to their GRRF or replace it with something higher calling it that and pass on the restructuring cost to customers.

Guys, 900 people are out of a job today. I thinks those are the real victims. Maybe we need to make Rogers feel our anger for what their doing.

David you are correct. I think it’s sad that 900 people lost their jobs at Rogers especially around the holidays…

My sympathies to those who have lost their jobs. I am partially responsible as I cancelled my monthly agreement with Rogers recently. I had been holding out for some lower prices but instead prices were raised – sorry but I couldn’t afford it any more. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one.
