Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

Yes

From RCR Wireless News.

–Emphasis on a “jobs positive” merger. Job creation was another major theme of executives’ remarks. Sprint and T-Mobile US have a combined workforce of around 240,000 globally, according to Legere and other executives; of those, around 200,000 are in the U.S., and 80,000 are full-time employees. The new company expects to have more employees when combined, than their total employee bases prior to the merger, due to expansion of retail stores to rural markets, more call centers, and in serving enterprises and new markets. Sievert said that the new T-Mobile plans to grow its workforce from the first year on, giving the specific example of plans to hire around 1,000 new positions in its enterprise group within the first 18 months. The combined company will retain both headquarters — T-Mobile US’ in Seattle, and Sprint’s in Overland Park, Kansas.

"What a retarded post."

😂😂😂😂

What a retarded post.

Based on all the Layoff.com boards for the telcos, it looks like the end game is for these companies to profit off usage of their landline and wireless data transmission but do so without any in-house support or sales. No customer service, no stores, no expensive IT or Finance Ops, just profit for a handful and contracted labor for the day to day operations. How depressing.
