Rogers Communications Inc. is offering voluntary departure packages to some employees as it integrates with Shaw Communications Inc. after its $26-billion purchase of the carrier in April.
Most employees in customer-facing jobs, such as specialized roles in IT, along with technicians, customer service and technical support agents, are ineligible for a package. Sports and media staff, including on-air talent, producers, directors, writers and media technology operators, also cannot apply.
"We're a growth company, and we remain committed to creating thousands of jobs over the next few years as we invest in our customers, communities, and country," he said in the email.
