The German online retailer Otto cancels approximately 480 call center employees. The telephone contact loses importance, the company said Tuesday. Eight of the 13 customer service locations are being hit.
Alzenau, Bad Salzuflen, Bochum, Niederzier, Kassel, Leipzig, Stuttgart and Nuremberg must be closed on 31 August. As a result, 480 employees lose their jobs. You must receive severance payments or an offer to switch to a transfer company. Such a company takes over employees for a limited extent, qualifies them and ideally puts them back on the labor market. According to his self -explanation, Otto increases the ZO -Boren Transfer Short Job.
About 700 employees of the locations of Magdeburg, Neubrandenburg, Hamburg, Dresden and Erfurt can keep their jobs. If the reasons for the closures, the online retailer leads the tightened competition, the persistently weak economy in Germany and the changed contact of customers. The structures in customer service are no longer economically feasible.
