The roles will go by the end of this year during what, the firm says, could be a 'difficult' time.
Mobile operator Virgin Media O2 is to slash up to 2,000 UK jobs, or 12% of its total workforce, by the end of this year.A company spokesperson acknowledged that any period of change "can be difficult".A Virgin Media O2 spokesperson said: "As we continue to integrate and transform as a company, we are currently consulting on proposals to simplify our operating model to better deliver for customers, which will see a reduction in some roles this year.
The spokesperson said the firm was supporting its staff as it has "open and honest conversations" about its future.The company, which is British, came together in 2021 through a merger between mobile operator O2 and broadband giant Virgin Media. Earlier this year, BT, which is the UK's largest broadband and mobile provider, said it would shed up to 55,000 jobs by the end of the decade, mostly in the UK, as it cuts costs.
Up to a fifth of those jobs will be replaced by technologies including artificial intelligence, the firm said. The move came shortly after Vodafone said it would axe a tenth of its staff over the next three years, equating to 11,000 jobs.
