Who’s the genius that green lighted this raspy voiced hack to represent the nations premier entertainment company?

Did you request MVO? Wondering how many have?

Especially her response on telecommuting. Quite a few questions about that obviously! And what did she mean about Tiers?...and what was already in place??

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

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?
