SFR said the departures would be on a voluntary basis. “These departures would take place in 2021,” SFR said in a statement.

The job cuts are part of SFR’s strategic plan that takes into account new digitalisation habits which have resulted in a 30 percent drop in the number of clients visiting its shops.
