Drøyt 300 ansatte i Posten Bring mister jobben

This week marked the largest round of layoffs at Posten Bring, with approximately 300 positions being cut, according to information published by Fagbladet. The company plans to continue with cost-cutting measures in 2027, targeting core business functions, as reported by Fagbladet.

The cuts have primarily affected support and auxiliary roles. This is the third round of job reductions in recent years, with 250 positions eliminated during the previous round. Konsernsjef Petter Børre Furberg had previously indicated that further layoffs would be necessary to achieve a 25 percent reduction in costs.

Kenneth Pettersen, Posten's communications director, revealed that the company will reduce some job functions and alter the way work is conducted. Pettersen cited the need to leverage new available technology, consolidate departments, and share resources as key strategies in the restructuring. Artificial intelligence (AI) was highlighted as a central tool to help reduce costs.

Cathrine Ertsås, from the Post and Finance trade union, expressed concern over the situation. She noted that these cuts impact auxiliary and support functions, emphasizing that some roles are less critical when focusing on core operations. Ertsås stressed that her union will provide adequate support to those affected.
