Manassas Comcast Center to Slash Jobs This Year

The company said it will work to place the laid-off employees in positions elsewhere in the company.

Telecommunications giant Comcast is set to cut 80 jobs later this year from its Manassas facility off University Boulevard, InsideNova reports.

Also reported last week in the Washington Business Journal, the company also plans to move 78 Manassas sales jobs to its offices in White Marsh, MD.

Comcast spokeswoman Aimee Metrick said the changes are part of the company's efforts to make it easier for its customers to do business.
