OFFICEMAX CLOSES CALL CENTER ,TO LAYOFF 250
EMPLOYEES
OfficeMax Inc. plans to close
its Casper call center and terminate the facility’s 250
employees.Spokeswoman Jennifer Rook says the company notified employees
Thursday of the July 30 closure. The Naperville, Ill.-based office
supplies retailer has operated the Casper facility since 1998.Rook says
more than 60 percent of the 250 employees hold full-time positions.
Severance packages and career service counseling will be available to
eligible employees.The Casper facility is one of four OfficeMax call
centers in the United States that handle customer inquiries. The others
— in Bristol, Va., Peru, Ill., and Ottawa, Ill. — will remain
open.Rook says the decision was driven by operating infrastructure costs
