UK’s largest telecom firm, BT Group, may slash up to 55,000 jobs by 2030, according to CEO Allison Kirkby. This marks a sharp increase from the earlier plan to reduce over 40,000 roles announced in 2023. Kirkby stated that the previous figure was underestimated and didn’t reflect the actual workforce reduction required due to AI integration and digitization. The massive cutback will come from contractors and employees alike, aiming to create a leaner, tech-driven workforce. The job cuts form part of BT's broader strategy to modernize its services and reduce costs. Kirkby emphasized this is essential to ensure BT’s future competitiveness in a rapidly evolving telecom landscape. (PC: The Times Of India)
