What is the matter with you people, sick, sick. You are absolutely sick people.
This page was to bring workers together who were having issues with this greedy company. Outsourcing wireless jobs to india, laying american workers off, transferring workers to there new location in Texas...up routing your life and families.....
Get it together or get off the site... this is not intended for bullying hiding your hatred for your coworkers behind a computer.
pvy, and others,
You missed nothing but the boat.
You insult, gripe and complain.
Most of which does not matter.
Executives are overpaid, yes, so what. Does not affect you.
We want more. We all do, but when the car came out, the need for buggy whips dropped, as is the need for traditional landline services. (FIOS Included)
The telcom world is change, and what got, is not what you are going to get.
Looking at VZ version of the contract, it looks fair, not great, but fair. It is the best you will do.
Do not lose month of pay, and then accept the same contract.
I know the issue of temporary relocations. the alternative is to fire some people, and hire others and other locations. Company needs to matter.
I know you all love your families, and your country, as do the EWAs.
Lets keep this civil.
Words like SCAB (Supper Contract Busters) not sure about A, does not help
You must be Jeb Bush, are you?
@sbq Best answer one the forum today.
Shut up — Other bloggers want to tell you how to get their attention. But since everyone wants to stay out of this blog, I figured I'd explain how to make us (and any other troll) shut up.
Prelude: What's trolling?
Trolling is saying:
All the people I like from the PodTech podcast network tell me they don't like their boring company.
Technorati is a disappointing blog search engine (especially considering the outstanding team working there) that's lost its focus with weird features like "Where's the fire" and a daily "Buzz" show; it wants to become a portal, but it's doing this all wrong. Meanwhile the actual search engine sucks. Luckily for Technorati, so do all its competitors.
Startup culture is boring because there aren't enough clever dicks like Weblogs, Inc. founder Jason Calacanis.
Wired News bloggers think linking to Valleywag makes them look cool.
See what I did there?
Prevention: Don't stick your neck out.
Some of us just have to pick fights or declare ourselves king or something else that makes us a target. But if you can suppress this, you'll be hard to troll. For example, if TechCrunch or Valleywag ever wrecks itself, crowds will gather to laugh at the carnage and use our burning corpses to light marshmallows. If another Silicon Valley blog, Om Malik's GigaOM, went tits up, there'd be no glee. The other two are brash (TechCrunch's editor says he wants to replace CNET; Valleywag is just a dick to everyone); Om is just sane, strategic, a worker. Therefore, fewer trolls.
Response: Don't respond.
So someone trolled you, and you're pissed. You have a really great response. You're gonna take that troll down and make him cry! Geez, you are so playing into the game.
Do nothing. Repeat this to yourself. Then go do something unrelated. When anyone brings up the troll attack, say "Oh, I didn't really think about it" and change the subject. When they bring it up again, feign boredom. Not amusement (the laughter behind "Oh man, it's so great that they compared me to Bush!" rings hollow), not frustration at your idiot friend's persistence with this topic, but boredom. And a new topic.
From the looks of your post, my guess is that you're a H1-B'r, either that or you are really trashed.
It is exactly what all corporate executives want it to be, paycheck to paycheck worker vs. paycheck to paycheck worker. They make millions while laughing to the bank while we call each other vulgarities.
Hi, welcome to the internet. There's cat videos, and a--holes.
