Bell Layoffs: Ottawa, Hamilton, Toronto and Montreal

"MONTREAL - Bell Canada (TSX:BCE) is cutting 250 clerical jobs across Canada, notably in Hamilton, Ont., Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal, the telecommunications giant announced Friday."

"Meanwhile, the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union of Canada said in a news release that the cuts are the result of outsourcing. "

Spotted this one here: »Unionized cuts starting at Bell

  Was discussing this with a friend and it seems the Field Techs are likely next.... likely just before the end of the year to boot!

@videotron.ca
:/ I hate when they layoff just before or just after the holidays. Always the same.

Is this a new 100-days of layoffs, like they did this past summer?

Not necessarily especially when the testing may be done in India soon from the rumours we have heard. One of the guys I know has a relative in India and they told him there was an entire test center being built there for that purpose.

Are they really trying to run themselves into the ground? They can't keep going at this rate especially since their public image is in crisis.

If it's the test center, they are not field techs ie; working outside or in the co

someone really needs to tell them that moving the company to india is not the answer. rogers does not outsource to india, and they are doing fine..

the answer is, good management. not outsourcing to the cheapest vendor


youknwo3

@bell.ca

you know what

make this known ... bell `canada` is not canadian
and i will cancel my account next monday

tell your friends and family
we have to start somewhere..
this is not the answer

bell is trying to keep the ignorant `joe` the internet surfer who checks his email and ditch all the other customers...

So who is going to fix BELL/3rd Party ISP. Cope wants a 24 hr turnover on these troubles. Tested and dispatched within 24hrs

Field Tech lay not likely but you never know.

Good luck with that. India cant even read missing xconnects in Web care (NOIP) troubles.

They have no idea what a USSOCS is or its relation to a Bcris order.

Before I go nuts ,someone is going have to define testing and what it involves. Just too many rumours

I dont like rumours but the one I hear goes like this.

The Hamilton test center stays and when that DSL trouble is dispatched, the field techs will have to call the India test centre for their testing.

Testing is not much different from outside work. You isolate where the trouble is and then send it. The tester goes from point to point to find out if the trouble is "in" or "out" and then sends the ticket to the appropriate location.
"in" - C.O.
"out" - Field.
This can be done from anywhere. When CALRS was first introduced the testing could be done from a central location, each area didn't need its own testboard. Now it can be done overseas and routed to the appropriate section with trouble or SWT.
