La crisi del mercato fa altre 1250 vittime: i dipendenti di Telekom Austria. Tra il 10 e il 15% della forza lavoro austriaca, a causa dei risultati negativi del settore fisso.

Il comunicato della società spiega:
Under the plan announced today, about 1,250 employees, who cannot be laid off mainly due to their civil servant status, will be made redundant from the Fixed Net operations in the course of 2009. IFRS accounting rules require a non-cash provision for the net present value of the estimated future personnel expenses of the redundant employees up to their retirement for the total amount of approximately EUR 630 million, which will impact reported results in 4Q 2008.
