Nearly 120 employees are expected to be laid off from Ivox Solutions LLC Friday.
The company lost their largest client, Simple Mobile, back in May. Simple Mobile was acquired by Tracfone Wireless Inc., the U.S. subsidiary of Mexico's America Movil cellphone carrier. Tracfone Wireless Inc. operates their call centers overseas.
During the summer, Ivox Solutions had around 500 employees and that number has now fallen to about 300. In the last month, 60 employees left to find new jobs, while 40 others have transitioned into working on new projects with the company.
Management with Ivox Solutions LLC have gained several new clients and hope to call back at least 25 of the laid off workers around December 17th to start them on a new training program.
