AT&T continues closing centers and laying off long-time dedicated workers, while jobs are continuously opened and available to the public.
In my opinion, this is clearly age discrimination! In the past, Pac Bell would freeze any and all positions when a surplus condition existed and provide opportunity for all affected employees to compete for these jobs. Today's AT&T, intentionally... — read more
