For Christ's sake. Now we have people up voting. SMH.
You know, you're not helping anything. It's bad enough we have to live with the down voters. All you losers need to get a hobby or something.
The rest of us are laughing AT you guys.

"Follow the news on the UAW and ask if you might be better off with something similar."

While on the surface not a popular choice., in reality the best and probably the only remedy is in a union.
Follow the news on the UAW and ask if you might be better off with something similar.

@1yvp+1pvMkDwa I always wonder why they do these layoff with GNT, as a Customer Service guy I’ve come to terms with my job being replaceable and I’m just waiting for my turn to get the axe but the fu--ing network teams being gutted seems extremely d-mb. You can get away with outsourcing us since people need cell service and will deal with garbage customer service but they are not going to stay if both the network and the customer service is garbage.

More will come.

VZW's debt load is huge and problematic.
The response time of VBG/OneFiber on an outage is atrocious.

The people in my position watch untold amounts of money spent on massive amounts of expensive equipment that was never even put into service, then taken out.

Watch 4 power hog boxes replace one lean one.
Utility expenditures sky rocket.
HVACS that have to replaced to offset the heat load put out by the same equipment.
Generators that basically have no use on them replaced to keep with the load requirements demanded by the power input of the new equipment.

Installs by contractors that have to be redone at additional expense and outages that affects customers as a result.

All to be told it is about numbers and numbers only.

And we barely win root by tenths of a point.
No better than we were before.
Quality is a cliche, and ROI is nearly a taboo subject.
