OVERLAND PARK, KANSAS - Sprint Corporation said Friday it will cut 1,100 employees and eliminate another 100 unfilled positions in the nation's third largest long-distance company's latest effort to cut costs. <br>
<br>
The cuts will come from the Overland Park, Kansas-based company's global markets division, which includes most of Sprint's struggling long-distance business. <br>
<br>
The company, which employs 80,000 people, did not say where the jobs would be cut. The cuts, which will occur through layoffs and normal attrition, are expected to occur over the next several weeks. <br>
<br>
Dallas, Atlanta, Reston, Virginia, and the Kansas City area have the largest concentrations of global markets employees. <br>
<br>
Since eliminating 7,500 jobs last October and three thousand more in February, Sprint has made layoffs a few dozen to a few hundred at a time. But employees have said the constant layoffs are hurting morale.
