888 Making Some Changes
Some new changes at 888 could very well result in the loss of jobs for some of
the company’s employees. The economic situation in the global online casino
gambling industry has cause some real strain at the internet gambling group and
the company is looking to reduce some of the redundant employee positions in the
coming months. 888.com has already employed a consultancy agency to come in and
assess the workforce and identify the areas that could go. This effort is being
undertaken as a way to streamline the company and maintain profitability during
the global recession. 888 Holdings is one of the largest online casino gambling
groups in the international industry and has extensive assests and gaming
products on offer.
As the company has expanded some of the various headquarters have created jobs
that are actually a bit redundant, especially now that the company is looking to
streamline and cut back significantly on operating expenses. The consultancy
period is expected to last for six months, at the end of the consultancy program
it is anticipated that the company will reduce as many as 40 jobs from the
company’s Gibraltar office. This is actually right in line with what other
online casinos have been forced to contend with and there have also been
similarly wide-scale streamlining in the internet gambling industry’s workforce.
The number 40 is just an estimation at this point considering the company has
not yet completed much of the consultancy process. Throughout the 60 days the
CEO has noted that there may be some very real changes in the number – to the
tune of fewer, probably not more Gibraltarians loosing their jobs. There is
really no way to fully anticipate the final count at this point but GambleCraft
will follow the situation closely. |
