Is it selling well? I don't believe it is. Retail stores are using monitors with an ad loop now, back like they were in the days before DirecTV was purchased

I submitted my MVO application and got a notice stating HR would be in contact within 48 hours. Is that when they tell me they are accepting it?

Some of the m&e folks received the letter a bit early due to mistake but the layoff is due on dec 2nd.

Is it legal by law for the AT&T to charge an extra $10 for adding additional data amount to the wireless plan without asking first if I would like it, and then declining to remove it upon my request?

a very savvy player sees upside in AT&T. Second, the company realized Elliott wasn’t going away and had decided to work with them. And third, the trend for company earnings was up. All three were affirmed with AT&T’s third quarter numbers and... — read more 

There are also employees, customers, communities, etc. How did we as a society allow this one group to dominate everything that businesses decide to do where the interests of every other stakeholder group become subordinate to shareholders?

Then why don't they lay themselves off instead of attacking the livelihood of others?

I'm out of other options, but I'm still hesitant about the next move.

Or can we expect the final massive wave of layoffs for this year during December? Can we feel just a little safer during holiday times or is that just wishful thinking?

The company is making money hand over fist and there is no economic need for workforce reductions. Instead what we have is deliberate off shoring and contracting out of work like some sort of a globalist cabal. Isn't capitalism great?
