TELECOMS giant BT has confirmed today it will cut up to 15,000 jobs in the coming year, 10% of its workforce.
The firm also revealed it had cut 15,000 posts in the last 12 months, 5,000 more than expected.
BT said it was aiming to cut the jobs through natural wastage, non replacement and voluntary redundancy and had no plans for compulsory lay-offs.
