Sprint Corp. is creating four regional offices and eliminating some jobs to focus on service quality and customer retention in 19 major U.S. markets, part of Chief Executive Officer Marcelo Claure’s efforts to turn around the struggling wireless carrier.
“For our colleagues who will be leaving, we will be sorry to see them go,” Claure said this week in a memo obtained by Bloomberg. “These are actions that we must take so that we can ensure the strength and long-term success of our company, and save thousands of other jobs.”
