Vodafone to let 11,000 employees go.

Vodafone le 11,000 fostaí a ligean chun siúil.

The telecommunications giant Vodafone has announced that 11,000 employees are to be let go for the next three years.

Tá sé fógartha ag an ollchomhlacht teileachumarsáide Vodafone go bhfuiltear le 11,000 fostaí a ligean chun siúil as seo go ceann trí bliana.

It is currently understood that none of the 1,200 people employed by the company in Ireland will be among those who will be laid off.

Tuigtear faoi láthair nach mbeidh aon duine den 1,200 duine atá fostaithe ag an gcomhlacht in Éirinn i measc na ndaoine a leagfar as obair.

The new chief executive of Vodafone Margherita Della Valle said that the decision to eliminate so many jobs was made with the desire to simplify the company's affairs and with the hope of putting the company in the center of the fair again.

Dúirt príomhfheidhmeannach nua Vodafone Margherita Della Valle go ndearnadh an cinneadh deireadh a chur leis an oiread sin post le fonn gnóthaí an chomhlachta a shimpliú agus le súil an comhlacht a chur i lár an aonaigh arís.

Investors are said to believe that Vodafone is an overly conservative company that plows forward, if at all.

Deirtear go gcreideann infheisteoirí gur comhlacht róchaomhach é Vodafone a threabhann chun cinn go liopasta, más chun cinn féin é.

It is estimated that there will be a drop of €1.5 billion in Vodafone's free cash flow this year, that is the money the company will have left at the end of the year after paying all the bills.

Meastar go mbeidh titim €1.5 billiún i saorshreabhadh airgid Vodafone i mbliana, sin an t-airgead a bheas fanta ag an gcomhlacht i ndeireadh na bliana tar éis na billí ar fad a íoc.

Vodafone has approximately 100,000 employees in various countries in Europe and Africa.

Tá thart ar 100,000 fostaithe ag Vodafone i dtíortha éagsula san Eoraip agus san Afraic.

Already this year, the company has let go of 1,000 employees in Italy and it is being reported that another 1,300 jobs may be cut in Germany.

Cheana féin i mbliana, tá 1,000 fostaí ligthe chun siúil ag an gcomhlacht san Iodáil agus táthar á thuairisciú go mb'fhéidir go gcuirfí deireadh le 1,300 post eile sa Ghearmáin.
