Office Depot to Lay Off 250 Telemarketers

Office Depot Inc. will eliminate approximately 250 call center jobs in Boca Raton, FL and will outsource them over the next four months, according to the Palm Beach Post.

The move comes on the heels of April's announcement by the Delray Beach-based direct marketer and retailer that 100 call center jobs would be cut.

This current closure reflects the firm's shifting priorities. In the last year, the company has increased sales by $1.2 billion as it renewed focus on international sales and acquired smaller companies.
