Broadband ISP and mobile operator Virgin Media<\/a> and O2<\/a> (VMO2), which is known to employ around 16,000 people across the United Kingdom, has confirmed to ISPreview UK that an unspecified number of their workers were notified this week that they were likely to be made redundant in the near future.<\/p>\n

The event was noticed after staff that had been impacted by the decision began reporting it across social media, although VMO2 has declined to provide any solid numbers until the usual consultation period has completed. A spokesperson for VMO2 told ISPreview: “This is part of ongoing integration activity and we\u2019re continuing to support all of our people through any change taking place.<\/em>”<\/p>\n

However, the move is not unexpected. The operator is known to have been trying to cut costs and are also hoping to benefit from the efficiencies that are likely to flow from their network upgrade projects (e.g. upgrading Hybrid Fibre Coax lines to XGS-PON based FTTP<\/a>). The CWU union also warned in February (here<\/a>) that some employees were potentially “at risk<\/em>” of redundancy as a result of VMO2’s site rationalisation and restructuring exercise.<\/p>\n

We don’t currently have a lot more detail to share, although quite a few of the latest redundancies appear to be coming from the South East and East Anglia areas. The issue also appears to be impacting some of those in their VMO2 Business division.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 25th June 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n

The weekend saw a series of news reports that suggested anything from 800 to 2,000 people could lose their jobs as part of the redundancy process we uncovered last week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
