Some 200 DirecOne workers are now said to be facing the breadline following a decision by the majority State-owned Telecommunications Services of Trinidad and Tobago (TSTT) to end its contract with the company for the supply of call centre services.
The situation, however, is not expected to adversely impact TSTT’s customers significantly, as a new service provider is already being contracted.
Guardian Media has been told that the new call centre provider will be Call Serv Ltd.
DirecOne’s contract officially ended yesterday, the last day of TSTT’s financial year.
As a result, the hotline 824-TSTT is expected to be unavailable to customers from midnight to around 8 am today.
DirecOne handled all of TSTT’s call centre services, including its Help Desk for mobile, landline and internet services.
Several of DirecOne’s customer sales and service specialists have already received termination letters following the end of the contract with TSTT.
A release from TSTT last night confirmed that it had enlisted the services of new providers to support its contact centre operations.
“Nothing changes, TSTT’s contact centre will be fully resourced and customers will experience no difference in operations. 824-TSTT is an important customer touchpoint that the company intends to maintain,” TSTT stated.
“TSTT gives its assurance that customers will still be able to call 824-TSTT for information on products and services, technical support, bill related queries and the full range of services previously provided.”
TSTT is jointly owned by National Enterprises Ltd, which in turn is majority-owned by the Government and Cable & Wireless (West Indies) Ltd (C&W). NEL owns 51 per cent of TSTT’s issued share capital, while C&W holds 49 per cent.
TSTT is the country’s largest provider of communications solutions to the residential and commercial markets.

They probably already have employees already, and very likely outsourced. Salt for ex DirecOne people

But if they already have employees wouldn't that mean those existing employees will now have to be redirected towards working for TSTT call center and their pre-existing job would be vacant? Surely they wouldn't have already hired 200 new employees waiting to assign them to the TSTT call centres?

Has nothing to do with which party is in power. T&T has been in decline over the last decade and should stabilize by 2025 to a much lower quality of life than was experienced over the last decade. If you are 35 or younger consider migrating to Canada or Australia.SuperiorMan wrote:wtf wrote:Depends on the quality of the ministers appointed.

Was just wondering if it will be unrecoverable by then....you think it might take real years to get back to what it was after UNC get elected?

Just curious what do you think is the cause of the decline?
Digicel Group has confirmed that the company has reduced staff as a result of digital transformation.
The Express understands that 60 workers were affected by this move, but Digicel head of Group Communications Antonia Graham did not confirm the exact headcount.

Almost 150 employees of Scotiabank are set to be out of a job by the end of May.
According to a letter sent to members of staff, the company announced its plans to close its collections department which would result in the retrenchment of all front line members of staff and support including managers.
Those departments, according to the communication, would now be rerouted through Scotiabank’s offices in the Dominican Republic from May 31.
