Telus: 2,800 jobs cut
Telus reduced its Canadian workforce by 2,800 jobs in 2025 while simultaneously expanding its AI-focused Telus Digital division by 6,100 employees globally. The telecommunications company cited industry transformation and growing customer demand for self-serve options as drivers for the cuts. Despite the Canadian job losses, Telus's overall headcount increased by nearly 5,000 employees due to international expansion in AI and data services.
