250 To Lose Jobs At Tulsa Call Center

A spokesperson for West Corp of Omaha, Nebraska confirmed to NewsChannel 8 that a pair of programs are being eliminated effective October 14th and that 250 people at a call center near 38th and Mingo will lose their jobs.
Dave Pliess with West Corp says a drop in call volume and the economy are to blame for the decision and says overall, the call center business has seen a decline in calls this past year.
Pliess tells NewsChannel 8 West Corp is working to get new programs into the Tulsa call center to save as many of the 250 jobs as they can.
Currently, the call center employs 415 people. Employees were notified of the pending layoffs Wednesday.

I feel sorry for all those people, as all others that have been laid off. When the workforce in Tulsa, or the lack thereof, is in its current state needs no more layoffs. What ever happened to the saying "You have to spend money to make money."? I guess the money grubbing management, since they probably still have their paycheck coming, are not real worried. Well, as the saying goes. You will reap what you sow!
