Comcast Corp. is planning significant job cuts as part of a restructuring of its cable-TV, broadband, and wireless businesses, according to multiple news outlets. The layoffs are expected to begin in January as the company phases out its division-based structure in favor of a more centralized model, removing a management layer between corporate headquarters and regional offices. Regional teams will report directly to Amy Lynch, who will fill the newly created role of president of regional operations. Comcast Connectivity & Platforms COO Steve Croney and CEO David Watson stated in a joint memo that the new model will strengthen the connection between regions and HQ functional teams, balancing national scale with local insights.
