Recently, through a statement, the American mobile telephone operator Verizon announced a cut in its workforce and the closure of several of its stores, this as part of a restructuring plan.

The global broadband and telecommunications company detailed that the layoffs will cover approximately 500 jobs, while the closures will extend to approximately 274 retail stores.

Likewise, the mobile operator founded in 1983 and with headquarters in New York highlighted that these adjustments to its operations will affect more than 3,000 employees, both in stores and corporate offices, after the sale that will take effect on August 16.

But this has not been the first wave of layoffs at the company; In November of last year it announced a cut of 13,000 jobs, one of the largest layoffs. The job cuts took place in May of this year.

In a statement to its employees, it noted that these changes are with the goal of “improving the experience in each of its locations, because we know how important they are to the overall experience of our customers,” he said, this after indicating last month that its goal was to attract more customers by eliminating activation and upgrade fees, offering simple plans and a discount loyalty program.
