Hope this is not a start of series of Middle Management Cuts in Corporate Canada. I know personally in 3 companies of considerable size(s) the middle management is being cleared out with the HR, Payroll and IT being outsourced to India. They have the top management with the supervisor on the shopfloor interacting with the guys on the floor and getting the job done.

Lean and Mean Canada ?.
Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas.

Rogers lays off 900 managers

http://www.thestar.com/business/article/731193--rogers-lays-off-900-managers?bn=1

TORONTO–Rogers Communications Inc. says it's laying off about 900 employees across Canada, mostly in executive and management positions, in an effort to streamline operations to contend with rivals.

A spokeswoman for the telecommunications and media giant says the layoffs represent three per cent of the company's total workforce.

Rogers has about 30,000 staff across the country.

The company owns Canada's largest wireless phone service, as well as Rogers Cable, numerous publications and broadcast outlets and the Toronto Blue Jays.

In September, the company announced plans to further integrate its cable and wireless businesses to better respond to its customers.

The job cuts come as Rogers faces heated competition from established rivals Bell and Telus and new entrants who plan to offer cheaper wireless airtime packages.
