After just a month on the job, WorldCom CEO John W. Sidgmore is moving fast to fix the troubled telecommunications giant. At the end of June, he is expected to announce a major restructuring of the nation's No. 2 long-distance carrier. He plans to sell off WorldCom's $1 billion wireless-resale business and slash capital spending by another $1 billion; from $8 billion in 2001, it will now drop to $3.5 billion. Up to 16,000 employees―or 20% of the Jackson (Miss.) company's workforce―will be let go. Plus, he is close to clinching a new $5 billion line of bank credit, which would keep WorldCom out of a liquidity crisis for the next 18 months.
