British telecoms firm Virgin Media O2 to cut thousands of jobs in sweeping shake-up On Saturday, British telecoms operator Virgin Media O2 which is jointly held by Liberty Global and Spain’s Telefonica, will cut thousands of jobs in a radical overhaul, according to Sky News.
报道进一步显示，O2 的 1.6 万名员工中多达 4,000 人可能受到影响，尽管确切裁员人数尚未确定。然而，预计大多数裁员将波及后台职位，而多项高管领导层变动已在进行中。
The report further showed that up to 4,000 of O2’s 16,000 employees could be impacted although the exact number of layoffs has yet to be determined. However, the majority of the layoffs are projected to impact back-office positions while several executive leadership transitions are already in progress.
大多数受影响员工将是非面向客户岗位的工作人员，而在首席执行官 Lutz Schuler 领导的该组织内，一波高级管理层调整已在展开。

英国电信市场正因反垄断审查和 TalkTalk Telecom Group 近期的市场调整而面临变革，VMO2 的这场预期企业震荡正值此时。
The anticipated corporate shake-up at VMO2 comes at a time when Britain’s telecoms market is being prompted by antitrust scrutiny and the recent market correction of TalkTalk Telecom Group.
本周早些时候，《金融时报》报道称，VMO2 接近达成协议，在部分地区使用 Openreach 的网络，将其业务覆盖范围从 1,900 万户扩大至多达 Openreach 覆盖的 2,500 万户。
Earlier this week, the Financial Times reported this week that VMO2 was close to an agreement to use Openreach’s network in parts of the country to scale up its operations from 19 million to as many as the 25 million homes covered by Openreach.
7 月的进一步报道显示，VMO2 的所有者正在评估策略以削减公司资产负债表杠杆。关键在于，早前报道称 Virgin Media O2 的股东寻求削减约 6 亿英镑的开支。
Further reports in July showed that VMO2’s owners were evaluating strategies to deleverage the company’s balance sheet. It is crucial to note that in the earlier reports, Virgin Media O2’s shareholders were seeking to trim expenditures by approximately £600 million.
