Any company that has a dedicated “surplus” Dept is f’ed up from the get go - just sayin.
Come work for us all you new grads - Join the T “family” and in 20 years after a few technology shifts - oh my your salary is kinda high - your position has been eliminated - no worries join one of the weekly “surplus” webinars but be sure to call early, the system can only handle 1,000 callers at a time
You hit the nail on the head OP. It is pretty messed up.
Wait till you get your post layoff conference call hosted by a Talent Acquisition Manager. That is a slap in the face too.
The statement T “family” is kind of odd since the current AT&T is made up on about 100 other companies they acquired. So, it's not like you hired on with the AT&T family 20 years ago, and it's still AT&T. It was probably a completely different company that hired you, and you're more like the bad in-law they were forced to take rather than a family member.
You are RIGHT!
An off shore manager will do your work for an annual salary of what you make in the US in 3 months. One of YOU equals four managers off shore.
Dang this story sounds familiar
yep
Pretty much.
