Big layoffs coming by the end of June

40% Is A Lot Of People - where are WARN notices?

I’m not real familiar with the WARN laws - doesn’t ATT have to file those before layoffs? Does that only apply to union? I haven’t seen any posted for TX or NJ... anyone know when/how those notices work?

So what are we going to do for the next big sensation at AT&T? Massive layoffs? Rebadging? Becoming India's number one creator of jobs? With this leadership team, the possibilities are endless!

Google "HBO Max signups first day." Crickets. Well there's the big 90K mobile downloads. Not exactly 10M. Where is AT&T PR's press release touting the success of HBO Max? They are hunkered down in crisis mode looking at anemic numbers. If this... — read more
