Description

Polkomtel, operator of the Plus GSM mobile telephone network, is implementing a cost-cutting plan. One of the plan’s elements provides for greater reliance on outsourcing rather than on own staff. In this context, one of the Internet news services has published information that Polkomtel would be reducing its staff by 800 people (i.e. by 27% of its total workforce) over the next three years.
