PayPal workers to be offered new roles or voluntary redundancy

It’s believed about 60 employees will be affected by the changes.

SOME OF PAYPAL’S employees in Dublin and Dundalk will be offered new roles or voluntary redundancy as the company restructures its operations.

It’s believed in the region of 60 workers will be affected. About 2,600 people are employed at the two sites.

A spokesperson for PayPal, an online payment and money transfer system, told TheJournal.ie: “As the needs of our customers are changing, so must the focus of our teams.

“We will be making some organisational changes to ensure we concentrate our efforts on giving our customers the best possible experience.

“This will reduce the need for work in some areas of the business, but in other areas the team will be growing. We are not reducing the overall size of our team in Ireland.

We want all our teammates to stay with us, and everyone affected by this change will be offered a different role at PayPal. We will also be providing an option of voluntary redundancy.

The centres in Dublin and Dundalk manage all direct customer contact for PayPal across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

The spokesperson added that PayPal’s Irish operations remain “a key strategic hub” for the company.

    We have a really good guy with figures maybe he could help grease. Bertie may not have had a bank account and lived in a bedsit but he apparently was well qualified according to the cert he produced. I think it was one of the FAS Certs for accountancy that we’re given out by some relative of the board member of FAS who was appointed by FF. anyway he is available for a brown envelope.

    How pathetic is is that every conversation gets turned around to include Bertie,

    We also have another guy called Cardiff who would love to help with the bad figures in Greece. He can count it to 10 don’t let him near millions and certainly not billions as he gets confused – all that said we promoted him and look how well we are now doing.

    It’s actually ‘Karolos Padoulias’ not ‘Caralos’. :)
