Yesterday emergency meetings arranged by DSGi, to restructure the management of its PC World stores took place. Regional and store managers faced heavy redundancies, and that the prospect of PC World and Currys being merged into one store looked ever more likely.
A second meeting for general managers of PC World is occurring today. It’s thought the outcome of that meeting could see assistant managers reapplying for their own jobs and significant reductions in business centre staff and management. It’s also rumoured that the number of staff working at PC World could be reduced by up to a third.
Staff spending is also thought to have been frozen for the moment, with no additional expenses allowed for stationary, personal phone calls or stock collection.
