      Oh that’s nice, I’m so used to companies just laying off half it’s workforce instead.

      Jeff Hoffman on the list.

      Wait sorry, I thought I was still in the Blue Jays sub….

      Ooofff.

      I’d imagine they are looking for something like a 10% reduction overall?

      > Last week, the Toronto-based telecom, media and sports company said it planned to reduce its 2026 capital expenditures by up to $1.2-billion compared to last year – a reduction of 30 per cent – after years of heightened spending and in light of what executives described as a difficult regulatory environment.

      I must have missed the difficult regulatory environment Rogers has had to endure, at any time in history.

      We’ll likely see a lot more of this as AI eats all the customer service roles.

      half is kind of insane isn’t it?

      >This massive buyout program affects approximately **12,500 employees** out of the company’s total staff of roughly 25,000.

      Surely that means customers will see some savings in their services right? /s

      Awww. Poor Rogers. They only made 21.7 billion in revenue last quarter. I bet they were hoping for 22.

      Won’t someone think of that fraction of a a percent stock value for investors! Well Rogers is. Gutting half it’s work force seems like a smart, long term idea. Probably to replace it with shitty AI chat bots.

      Yes I’m aware that’s revenue and not profits but I wouldn’t be surprised if their expenses weren’t even half of that.

      We all seem far too comfortable with the fact AI is coming for all of our jobs.

      Can’t even get a hold of anyone as it is…….

      There needs to be some regulation of those that dominate the communications market. This is getting out of hand.

      Is that why their customer retention team has been working extra hours to hit quotas? Cancelled my internet on Friday and got a call on Monday with a way better offer, got everything in the mail by Wednesday.

      Monopoly is out of control here, we pay one of the highest rates in the world and get half rate service. Let alone on hold forever and by time get a live agent you cant understand a word they say due to foreign language attempting to speak in english. We MUST get more competition into Canadian markets. Rogers, Telus and Bell are dominating and giving us rip off service for the premiums we pay.

      Just thought I’d share this here.

      This is part of the agreement that Rogers made when the government finally allowed the monopolization purchase of Shaw telecom by Rogers. Only 3 years ago, Rogers and Shaw merged, and it was announced 5 years ago.

      Imagine that. The people of Canada opposed the merger because we knew the monopoly would end up worse for us. The Trudeau Government approved the merger, but had „conditions“. Well, the moment the timer left for these „conditions“. **They fire 12,500 people.**

      ***Investments to Create Jobs and Connect Communities***

      * *Rogers to invest $2.5 billion to build 5G network in Western Canada, driving economic growth and strengthening innovation sector*
      * *New $1 billion fund dedicated to connecting rural, remote and Indigenous communities to high-speed Internet across the four Western provinces*
      * *Additional $3 billion to support additional network, services, and technology investments*
      * *Western head office of combined company to remain at Shaw Court in Calgary; President of Western operations and other senior roles to be based in Calgary*
      * *Rogers to maintain and grow local Shaw jobs so that teams across Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba and Saskatchewan will continue to serve customers and support local communities*
      * *The combined company is committed to continue offering affordable wireless plans, with no overage fees, that meet the budgets and needs of Canadians. As part of this commitment, Rogers will not increase wireless prices for Freedom Mobile customers for at least three years following the close of the transaction*

      I’m still soooo mad that Rogers was allowed to purchase Shaw.

      If you had Shaw internet you got up to 5 free cellular lines, unlimited calling/texting. Data was dirt cheap and Shaw was planning province-wide WiFi basically converting home routers into access points (you could opt out). Shaw easily could have been the #4 big telecom, albeit more west leaning.

      When you pool together two companies with obvious overlaps then it only makes sense to cut the workforce to remove redundancies.

      I took the offer when I received it in 2024. I initially regretted it after being unemployed all of 2025 due to the job market, but now I have a much better job and I’m much happier.

      I hate Rogers and I wish everyone that takes the offer the best of luck.

    25. Bobll7 on

      Well are they deep in debt and bleeding money right now? Wait…they have had increased profits from about 550 million in 2024 to 710 million in 2025. Sad story all around.

    29. JKilla77 on

      Rogers buys NHL rights releases inferior experience. Customers cancel.

      Rogers buys discovery by Discovery releases inferior experience. Customers move over to Amazon.

      Their leadership has a track record of failure. They are absolutely useless.

    30. Pyranni on

      I wonder by how much they will have to reduce R&D expenditures… Oh wait, these guys are nothing but industry leeches.

    31. CodeNamesBryan on

      Some will refuse and time will go by, another offer will come, it will be less, and less some more, and so on until there’s no offer.

      Thats what Telus did.

    33. RL203 on

      If you thought the service at ROGERS was shitty before, just wait till you see what happens now.

    34. overburn on

      They can’t manage their infrastructure now. How bad will their service get with half the workforce gone?

    35. soothukundi on

      1.9 million visas are set to expire in July and another 1.8 million by next July. So I understand why.

      my neighbour got bought out from his position at a potash mine. several hundred thousand payment.

      he got so depressed he killed himself a few months later instead of enjoying early retirement

    37. GleepGlop2 on

      Maybe they should sell the Rogers Center back to the city and they can call it the Sky Dome again.

    38. FlyingRock20 on

      We need to change the laws for more competition, let foreign companies come in. Canada is all about monopolies that the government protects cause their „Canadian“.

    39. chrismceachern on

      Wow the „difficult regulation“ from one of the most corrupt and monopolized industry in the entire country. That must have been really difficult for them

      I switched to them and literally switched back two months later. Garbage product, absolutely garbage customer service, really really awful app. They cut corners on absolutely everything.

      I wonder how bonuses looked in the executive office last year?

      Also… is this actually just to replace staff with AI? or?

    41. xMWHOx on

      From their 2025 Annual Report „We met or exceeded our 2025 financial outlook, including total service revenue growth of 6% and free cash flow exceeding $3.3 billion.“

    42. ImprovementJust7634 on

      Rogers in my opinion is the worst run telco company in Canada. How do I know? Worked for all 3 large Telcos. Thry restructure yearly and have best employees go on special projects like the shaw integration project then lay them off after the project. This means you kept the underperforming employees. They promote friends over high performing employees.
      These companies need to realize that if you don’t wmploy people people will eventually revolt and not use your products and go to the competition.
