Mobile Operator Drei Cuts Jobs: 90 Employees Affected

This was confirmed by a Drei spokesperson to the "Kurier" (online). This would result in a reduction of over 5 percent of the positions. According to its own information, the telecommunications company employs more than 1,600 employees.

Social Plan for Employees Planned

The job cuts are necessary to continue investing in innovation, service, and network expansion, the company told the newspaper. The mobile operator aims to achieve the job cuts primarily through natural attrition, voluntary retirement, and voluntary departures. The works council is involved, and a social plan for affected employees is planned. However, the number of terminations could still be reduced, it was reported to the "Kurier".

The mobile operator was less profitable in 2024: Last year, the revenue of Hutchison Drei Austria GmbH slightly decreased from 1.08 to 1.04 billion euros, according to the annual financial statement filed in the commercial register. The profit decreased from 83 million to 75 million euros.
