CEO Stan Sigman, in an interview with Associated Press, said most of the job reductions will occur in the administrative ranks and involve duplicative positions. Customer service would be largely undisturbed, he said. The combined wireless operator, a joint venture of BellSouth and SBC Communications, plans to cut about 7,000 jobs from its 68,000-member workforce, Sigman told AP. Last month, Cingular completed its $41 billion purchase of AT&T Wireless after receiving clearance from U.S. regulators.
