I strongly urge all employee's to reject the settlement and opt out in order to pursue new class action

I am in finance/collections, we did not lose any more managers. Hoping the same for next layoff. good luck everyone.

It looks like streaming will come at a cost of more jobs. And I think believing that only post-merger, newly redundant position will pay the price is naive. This is an ideal opportunity for AT&T to get rid of whomever they want while blaming the... — read more
