Sprint to Slice Unknown Number of Jobs

Oct 3, 2014, 5:33 PM by Eric M. Zeman

Sprint today said it plans to cut an unspecified number of jobs over the course of the next month. The cuts will include management-level and non-management jobs across the company's business units. Sprint expects to take a charge of about $160 million during the quarter to cover the cost of severance packages. Sprint said the job cuts will eventually help reduce expenses. The company made a similar series of cuts in January. Sprint employs about 38,000 people.
