So no they are not laying off field techs .Infact they are actually Hiring like crazy .The reality is that long ago the company 1 focus turned solely to wireless which we all knew was not gonna be forever.All while turning their back on the back bone bread and butter of wireline that fed their cell towers served their longtime customers towns buisness. This also was bad for wireless since if you been beaten up and abused by a company on wireline you be your not gonna go buy a wireless plan from them.Next they spent more money and time on hiring Managers upon managers to waste time trying to micromanage the people actually doing the work everyday .We now have brand that’s been beaten down has a bad look.Too much management most of who know nothing .All managing a smaller work force with less customers .Hence Layoffs

We will just keep growing 40% per year in wireless forever was what all these leaders thought…
Wireless culture was great before being merged with business and wireline under a common management umbrella. That's about the time we stopped focusing on the customer and internally putting up walls so that teams couldn't openly contact other teams to exchange information or resolve problems unless submitting a ticket.
