ATT has told it's executives the direction for expansion will be in Mobility but not in the domestic US market. The South Americas and Europe will be concentration and expense. The US Cell system has not seen any expansion except for minor updates. The move to using contractors is increasing and the need to employees will go down significantly. Concentration of requirement for additional skills will leave most in the layoff line. OCATS executives are reorganizing to restructure and prepare to move their field support groups to the wireline side when the wireline business is sold to Frontier or some other company. The concentration will be to save the remote support people.
Additional performance rating will be placed on ranking to allow downsizing.
Not good.
