Similarly if the plan did proceed then BT probably wouldn&#8217;t announce it until after their annual results in May 2019, with the cuts then being made gradually over a 5 year period.<\/p>\n<p>At this point it&#8217;s worth reminding readers that BT&#8217;s former CEO, <strong>Gavin Patterson<\/strong>, last year began a strategy to axe 13,000 jobs over 3 years (mainly back office and middle management roles), although they mitigated some of that by hiring thousands of new employees (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2019\/01\/openreach-name-next-11-uk-areas-for-fttp-ultrafast-broadband.html\">here<\/a>) to support network deployment (e.g. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a> engineers) and customer service. So far BT has already made about a quarter of these cuts.<\/p>\n<p>Patterson&#8217;s plan aimed to achieve a year 3 cash cost reduction of \u00a31.5 billion with costs to achieve of \u00a3800 million and two year payback. By comparison the new plan could yield further annual savings of several hundred million pounds.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>A Bloomberg Intelligence Spokesperson said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A bigger push on job cuts could yield extra annual savings of as much as 900 million pounds, in our view, boosting midterm Ebitda up to 10%. Reversing a negative earnings trend may help boost confidence in BT\u2019s ability to invest in fibre and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/5g\">5G<\/a>, and still pay a growing dividend.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Apparently the new cuts, if confirmed, would be balanced by accelerated automation of back-office processes, business disposals and a more streamlined management structure.
