Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

T thinks so. Looks like they took all the savings from the last round of voluntary separations to bring Jeffrey Toobin back . . . production staff brought far more value to the operation.

I wonder if the premise tech will file a grievance with the union like they always do when things don’t go the way they want?

The most self centered people at T: Stanky, Randy, the prem tech that started this thread

The prem tech arrives at the hospital after working late doing installs. He tells the patient “Don’t worry Sir or Mam, I made a ventilator with my snips, fvd and rubber glove, you’ll be ok now”. The patient replies “Thanks Doc”. The nurse dries the wire techs brow with a fresh WypAll as he begins saving the next patient. (Exit stage left)

To the premise tech, please post your name. We will make a trophy for all of your hard work and loyalty.

OP, did the clip show power workers which are slightly more important than telecom workers? You realize CNN can't acknowledge everyone. CNN is a new organization, not a kiss @$$ network to its parent company and sister companies. They need to stay neutral and objective. Now take your extra hazard pay which is an acknowledgement that your position is needed right now and be thankful you have a job while 20 million people file for unemployment.

Prem techs go to the hospital after work and help save folks while wearing vest and fvd.

You got a 20 percent bump in your pay when many have lost their jobs and can’t pay their rent or mortgage. Your “outrage” is disgustingly self-centered; the only one who should be ashamed and embarrassed is you.

Lighten up on the Op a bit - yes, they are freaked out and yes, really, who cares if you appear in some BS commercial.

What I want to know is why if we are so "essential", this company cannot persuade it's contracted Health Care Providers to test us Front-Liners for Covid-19?

Want to do something meaningful to us on the front lines - get our lobbyists who defeated Net Neutrality to instead pressure BCBS or Kaiser or whoever to test ALL front line workers for both active Covid-19 and Antibodies.

We have 6 guys on my medium sized crew who were sick as heck all March - me included - none of us got tested then because either the Doctors said it was flu, or there were no tests available for Covid in my area at that time.

Those tests are now available, but we can't get them because we are no longer "sick". But I wonder what if T told it's medical carriers to test - they would test- and we could be tested and at least we would know if we are safe or not.

I'll fight your fight and I will do the work, but give me a fighting chance please.

CNN is the network you don't watch, yet know so much about. Still not watching.

what is cnn

CNN shows the prem tech tribute videos before their website news stories because no other company will spend their advertising dollars with CNN anymore.

there;s a show called CNN HEROES. Maybe they can send camera crew to follow these prem techs and expose how they spend 7 hours of the work day hiding out.

We don't watch CNN, yet we watch CNN.

Prem techs are as important as doctors...said no one ever

Does OP want a 1 hour tribute to att premise tech or a quick clip of any telecom worker do?

How bout cnn film prem techs sleeping in their vans in a McDonald’s parking lot instead

I do see att doing their own commercials to promote the hard work of their employees. All the carriers seem to have done it. That being said, CNN is a disaster. You can align yourself on either side of the political spectrum, but even democrat/liberals have to be honest and admit that CNN has no credibility.

The problem is, If you dedicate every second of airtime to criticizing Trump and everyone who works under him, you can't tell what is actually legitimate criticism. It turns into a boy who cried wolf scenario. That would all be fine if they had great ratings in doing so, but they don't. Hard to believe they haven't shaken things up over there like how we ran everyone off at TW.

The people that get in the trucks, climb the poles, go down in the manholes, climb into attacks and work in storms and scorching temperatures are the ones that keep this company going!! Not the people flying around on private jets, attending pebble beach and rubbing elbows with billionaires!!

Zucher has absolutely no allegiance to T. He has no idea who owns his business, or what that business does. Look at CNBC for comparison and you can clearly see they are aligned with their owner Comcast. Ratty and Stinky gave Zucher free reign. I think Zucher has something on them.

Zucher needs to go!
Ratty needs to go!
Stinky needs to go!
The Board of Mis-Directors needs to go!

OP, you get a paycheck. be thankful. What kind of l0ser are you if you need to be recognized by a network with no credibility and no one watches. Yes your job is important but there are many others like transit workers, ubers, gas station attendants that are essential workers that won't be recognized. I guess you're luckier than most crying in your company truck for not being recognized while 30 million people go on their c-appy att internet and file for unemployment. CRYBABY!!!

prem techs are still around ? a real title ? lol

Touche!

Yeah, you should be watching real news on Fox or OAN.

People still watch CNN? I mean besides the people walking through the airport and those checking into a hotel...
