Sprint's recent announcement of a layoff of approximately 6,000 employees and 1,500 contractors will have little impact in the Warsaw area, company officials said. The reduction represents approximately 6.8 percent of Sprint's 88,000 employees, many of whom are in the Kansas City, Mo., area, which will be hardest hit by the layoffs. Most of the 140 employees in Kosciusko County are in the local telecommunications division, which provides and maintains local service.According to William Esrey, Sprint president and chief executive officer, the local division is one of the most stable areas of Sprint and will not be affected as much as some of the more "cutting edge" areas that are in the early developmental stages.
