[外絮] 拓荒者進行大規模裁員(超過70名)
主要是因為拓荒者的球團員工數是聯盟數一數二多
但贊助、門票收入是接近墊底
裁員後的規模仍不會是全聯盟最少

The Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday issued a round of sweeping layoffs, execut
ing the first significant cost-cutting move under new owner Tom Dundon.
波特蘭拓荒者隊週二進行了一波大規模裁員,這也是新老闆 Tom Dundon 上任後首次重大的
削減成本措施
繁體
The team did not disclose the number of employees let go, but three team sources
told The Oregonian/OregonLive that just over 70 people were affected. The layof
fs came seven weeks after Dundon, the Dallas billionaire, and his ownership grou
p officially took over the franchise.
球隊並未公開被裁員的人數,但三位球隊消息人士向《The Oregonian/OregonLive》透露,
受影響的人數超過70人,這波裁員發生在來自達拉斯的億萬富翁 Dundon 及其投資團隊正式
接手球隊七週後
“Today, as part of our plans to position the organization for the future, we ma
de the difficult decision to restructure several areas of the business,” Blazer
s president Dewayne Hankins told The Oregonian/OregonLive via a statement. “The
se changes impacted talented people who have helped shape the Trail Blazers over
many years. We are deeply grateful for their contributions, their leadership an
d the care they showed every day for our team, our fans and the Portland communi
ty. Our focus now is supporting those affected through the transition and positi
oning the organization for long-term success.”
「今天作為球團未來布局計畫的一部分,我們做出了艱難決定,重整多個部門的業務結構,
」拓荒者總裁 Dewayne Hankins 在聲明中向《The Oregonian/OregonLive》表示
「這些變動影響了許多多年來幫助塑造拓荒者文化的優秀人才,我們由衷感謝他們的付出、
領導能力,以及每天對球隊、球迷與波特蘭社群展現的關懷,現在我們的重點,是協助受影
響員工度過這段轉換期,同時讓球團朝長期成功的方向前進」
Employees learned about the layoffs during a Tuesday morning group video call, w
hich lasted roughly two minutes. The employees were told they had been laid off
and would receive more information at their personal email accounts.
員工是在週二早上的一場團體視訊會議中得知裁員消息,而整場會議大約只持續了兩分鐘,
員工被告知自己已遭裁員,後續資訊將寄送到他們的私人電子郵件信箱
The layoffs affected both business and basketball operations and ranged from sen
ior vice presidents to public relations employees to content producers. Digital
reporter Casey Holdahl, who had been with the organization for more than 18 year
s, announced on social media that he had been let go.
這波裁員涵蓋商業部門與籃球營運部門,從資深副總裁、公關人員到內容製作人員都受到影
響,在球隊服務超過18年的數位記者 Casey Holdahl 也在社群媒體上宣布自己遭到解雇
“My sincerest thanks to all of you who have read/listened/watched/engaged with
my work over the years,” he wrote.
「最誠摯地感謝這些年來閱讀、收聽、觀看以及支持我作品的每一位你們」他寫道。
The layoffs are the most substantial since June 2020, when the Blazers eliminate
d roughly 40 jobs and delivered a round of salary reductions. However, that came
in the thick of the COVID-19 pandemic. Tuesday’s moves came amid a change in o
wnership and reinforced Dundon’s pledge to run a more “efficient” organizatio
n.
這是拓荒者自2020年6月以來最大規模的一次裁員,當時球隊裁撤了約40個職位,並進行一
波減薪措施,不過那次是在 COVID-19 疫情最嚴重期間發生的,而這次週二的動作則是在球
隊易主後進行,也再次展現 Dundon 希望打造更「高效率」球團的方針
One high-ranking team official told The Oregonian/OregonLive that the Blazers we
re one of the largest organizations in the NBA, an unsustainable reality conside
ring they fetch the league’s lowest sponsorship revenue and rank near the botto
m in ticket revenue. Even with the layoffs, the Blazers’ total staffing is not
the lowest in the league, although that figure includes Rip City Management, whi
ch operates other events at Moda Center as well as Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
一位球隊高層向《The Oregonian/OregonLive》表示,拓荒者原本是 NBA 規模最大的球團
之一,但考量到他們擁有全聯盟最低的贊助收入,以及接近墊底的門票收入,這種規模其實
難以長期維持
即使經過這波裁員,拓荒者的總員工數仍不是聯盟最少,不過其中也包含負責營運 Moda Ce
nter 與 Veterans Memorial Coliseum 其他活動的 Rip City Management 員工
Staff reductions following a sale are not uncommon, though the scale of the Blaz
ers’ layoff felt particularly severe. Last year, after Alex Rodriguez and Marc
Lore closed on the sale of the Minnesota Timberwolves, that franchise laid off r
oughly 40 employees.
球隊出售後進行人力縮編其實並不少見,但拓荒者這次裁員的規模仍讓外界感到特別嚴重,
去年,當 Alex Rodriguez 與 Marc Lore完成收購明尼蘇達灰狼後,該球隊
也裁掉了約40名員工。
The elimination of jobs could be seen as another setback for Dundon in terms of
building goodwill in Portland. The owner of the Carolina Hurricanes and Blazers
executives are deep in negotiations with both the city and Multnomah County abou
t a multi-governmental funding package to renovate Moda Center and secure a long
-term lease that keeps the franchise rooted in Portland. That has encountered si
gnificant pushback from some city leaders, with a labor agreement that would pro
tect jobs seen as one of the key hurdles.
這次裁員也可能被視為Dundon在建立波特蘭地方好感度上的另一項挫敗,這位老闆目前正與
拓荒者高層,和波特蘭市政府及Multnomah County 深入協商,希望推動一項多方政府資助
方案,用於翻修Moda Center,並確保球隊能簽下長期租約、繼續留在波特蘭
然而該計畫目前已遭部分市府領導人強烈反對,而保障工作機會的勞工協議也被視為其中一
大難關
