Bell has had another round of layoffs. While specific numbers are unclear, it looks like the company has cut a small number of employees.
We first learned of this through a Reddit post, which claimed that Bell laid off half of ICG employees, which are “internet company groups,” the small internet service providers the company owns.
In a statement to MobileSyrup, a Bell spokesperson said:
“A small number of reductions took place yesterday as Bell simplifies its Internet services portfolio, focusing its efforts in the value segment on its EBOX brand and maintaining the Primus brand.”
Earlier this year, Bell offered a voluntary separation to 1,200 union workers. Additionally, Bell has slashed 7,000 jobs nationwide in less than two years, according to a newswire from Manitoba’s Team union.
That figure includes 4,800 job cuts from a restructuring plan in 2024, which saw 1,000 layoffs at The Source, 120 layoffs at Expertech, and a 50-person cut at Bell Media. And then, in more recent news, Bell Media laid off another 100 workers.
