博彩集团Entain计划裁减400个工作岗位，涉及其2000名客服人员中的五分之一1。这一裁员决定仅在该FTSE 100公司公布上半年利润超预期数周后宣布1。首席执行官Stella David表示，裁员是为了保持"业务竞争力、财务韧性"1。
Entain将裁员原因归咎于英国税收环境1。英国财政大臣John Healey据报考虑在10月28日的首份预算中提高机器博彩税1。David在给曼彻斯特市长Andy Burnham的信中称，将机器博彩税从20%提高到40%将使Entain零售业务成本增加约1亿英镑，可能导致1470家博彩店关闭和15900个工作岗位流失1。
至6月底的上半年，Entain基础营业利润达4.79亿英镑，比去年同期下降2%但超过投资者预期1。公司股价在年内下跌约36%，周三早盘跌1%1。Entain将于9月21日从FTSE 100指数降级至FTSE 250指数1。
Entain, the betting group that owns Ladbrokes, has announced plans to eliminate 400 positions from its customer service workforce of 2,000 employees, representing one-fifth of that team.1 The announcement comes just weeks after the FTSE 100-listed company reported first-half operating profits of £479 million, which exceeded investor expectations despite a 2% year-on-year decline.1
Chief Executive Stella David attributed the redundancies to the need to maintain "competitive business performance and financial resilience."1 The company has specifically cited higher UK tax burdens as a key driver, with particular concern over the government's anticipated increase to the machine gaming duty.1 In correspondence to Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham, David warned that raising the machine gaming tax from 20% to 40% could increase Entain's retail operation costs by approximately £100 million, potentially triggering the closure of around 1,470 betting shops and the loss of 15,900 jobs across the sector.1
The company faces additional headwinds, including its planned downgrade from the FTSE 100 index to the FTSE 250 on September 21.1 Entain's share price has declined roughly 36% over the past year and fell 1% in early trading on Wednesday.1 With more than 28,000 employees globally and headquarters in London, Entain operates a major retail betting network.1
