Telekommunikation: Vodafone baut in Deutschland rund 2.300 Stellen ab

In Germany, telecommunications company Vodafone is implementing a major restructuring and cost-cutting program, announcing plans to eliminate or relocate approximately 2,300 jobs over the next two years. This represents around 19% of the company's total workforce of about 12,000 employees, with nearly one in five positions affected.

The company cites the need to streamline structures and regain strength after years of significant customer attrition. In addition to reducing expenses on equipment and operations, Vodafone aims to cut costs significantly through the use of artificial intelligence. Vodafone CEO Marcel de Groot stated that the company has achieved substantial success in the past two years, stabilizing its business, regaining dynamism in the business customer segment, and improving products, networks, and services.

However, de Groot acknowledges that these achievements are insufficient, as the market is undergoing fundamental and unprecedented rapid changes.
