The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday edition that Rogers is offering voluntary departure packages to 50 per cent of its employees, excluding Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, as telco revenue growth has slowed and companies look to shed costs. The Globe's Irene Galea writes that on Monday, Rogers said that about half of its employees across numerous business divisions will be offered packages. Rogers did not say whether it had a reduction target. Typically, only a minority of employees offered a voluntary buyout will accept it. Rogers had 25,000 employees at the end of 2025. This includes about 3,000 MLSE employees, as Rogers is now the company's majority owner, but these MLSE employees will not be offered buyouts. Some teams within the company are eligible, though others are not, including on-air talent, Sportsnet employees at Rogers Sports and Media, Toronto Blue Jays and union employees. Last week, the company said it planned to reduce its 2026 capital expenditures by up to $1.2-billion compared with last year -- a reduction of 30 per cent -- after years of heightened spending and in light of what executives described as a difficult regulatory environment. Rogers closed Monday at $49.80, up 54 cents.
