Bouygues Telecom, a French subsidiary of the Bouygues Group, is cutting jobs through the "Mobylité" plan starting the 1st of December 2024, until the 30th of September 2025. It enables the relocation of employees to other subsidiaries of the group or outside of it.
Forced departures are excluded, and the company hopes employees will volunteer to relocate. It includes a training budget and a mobility bonus of 5,000 euros for three years of seniority and 40,000 euros after ten years during an internal mobility. Some trade unions, such as CFDT, find the agreement poor. Hiring is also frozen, and natural attritions will not be replaced.
Additionally, 1,500 external contractors whose contracts are being terminated.
The previous large restructuring recorded in the ERM database includes job losses in its housing branch: Bouygues Immobilier 2024 - F.
