‘Automation’ leads to job cuts at Chorus, and likely need for fewer staff at Spark

Network company Chorus says “tens” of staff will lose their jobs in a restructure.

The Wellington-based firm employed 1032 permanent staff as of the end of June.

A source said chief executive Kate McKenzie had told staff in an email that the company needed to become a smaller business and that the cuts would take effect shortly before Christmas, on December 8.

Chorus spokesman Nathan Beaumont confirmed the restructure but said speculation that as many as 200 jobs might go was incorrect.
