Altice is using the virus as an excuse to layoff talent. Telecommunications are not affected with this pandemic. Greed and heartlessness. The country is now seeing light at the end of tunnel and they do this. Just terrible.

Hearing that the company is using the current economic setting as a way to prepare for a sell off, has anyone else heard these rumors? Something in the works for this summer.

Just wondering if has already happened or is about to start coming?

Cuomo, Notice to all Employers in NYS to provide masks to all essential employees... can’t wait for this Shuffle around Email !!!!

Did anyone see hazzard pay in their check. Was supposed to retro back to the 28th of march. Nothing in this check. Figures.

So a.t s. Will let you take a week off, if you are scared. No pay for that week. But your benefits remain. Voluntary...... for now. Hhhhhhhmmmmmm no thanks

Why haven’t we heard from you guys in along time ? Oh wait we actually might because the end of the month is coming . Besides that you sit home and play with your butts . Come out come out where ever you are!!!!

Rumor mill is that layoffs are coming to protect the numbers as much as possible because of Covid-19. Sounds like a great excuse to reduce headcount even further.

Get ready.
