At one of its biggest locations in South Carolina, a massive company is currently planning to lay off hundreds of workers by the end of the month.
On July 27, 206 workers at Charter Communications’ Greer site would lose their jobs. Charter Communications provides spectrum services.
Effective July 27, employees at Charter’s 1511 S. Batesville Road location will be affected by layoffs.
A representative for the company claimed that Charter had previously announced it was terminating 74 workers from the same location as part of its “new, streamlined approach to some back office and management support functions.”
“No impact on the local technicians who install our Spectrum products, make service calls, or who build, maintain, and upgrade our local networks,” the representative continued.
