Virgin Media O2 表示将在英国的宽带和移动业务中裁减数千个岗位。公司未披露裁员的全部规模，但 BBC 了解这些裁员将覆盖员工的相当大比例。
Virgin Media O2 said it will cut thousands of jobs across its broadband and mobile operations in the United Kingdom. The company has not disclosed the full scale of the reductions, but the BBC understands they will cover a sizeable share of the workforce.
Telefónica 与 Liberty Global 的合资企业称，裁员源于网络投资成本压力和竞争加剧。竞争对手的降价以及在 5G 基础设施上的巨额支出正在压缩整个行业的利润率。近期，其他英国本土网络运营商也出现了类似的裁员潮。
The joint venture between Telefónica and Liberty Global said the cuts stem from cost pressure on network investment and intensifying competition. Rival operators' price cuts and heavy spending on 5G infrastructure have been squeezing margins across the sector. Similar waves of job cuts have also hit other UK-based network operators in recent months.
公司发言人表示，将在近期启动与受影响员工的协商程序，并在可能的情况下提供自愿离职选项。工会称将在裁员规模明确之前，持续向会员通报情况。
A company spokesperson said a consultation process with affected staff will begin shortly, with voluntary departure options offered where possible. Unions said they would keep members informed until the full scale of the cuts becomes clear.
