Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Everyone is just a cost in a spreadsheet to this company

I see people let go under the guise of location and collaboration when really what's happening is their job functions are being outsourced and/or off-shored. Ultimately everyone is just a cost in a spreadsheet to this company. It doesn't matter what yours skills are or how hard you work or what you accomplish. If they can find someone in a third world country to do it for a fraction of the cost, they are going to do it. The trick is to stay one step ahead or gain the skills and experience to make you marketable to other companies after you get cut.

The hemmoraging of AT&T jobs will not stop until CUSTOMERS, not employees, do the right thing and boycott AT&T services until all H1Bs and offshore Indian contractors are fired. Yes, this will require going without some conveniences like cellular service and internet, but that's the price people must pay to collectively turn the state of our country and society around, similar to the bloodshed required to maintain freedom and national sovereignty.

Furthermore, anyone who demands wireless service faster than what is needed to have a phone conversation and to surf the web and perhaps watch the occasional YouTube video deserves to get cancer from 5G.

This company's number one priority for the last 20 years should have been to build out their fiber network to as many areas in the country as possible, with rural areas being just as accounted for proportionally speaking as the big giant mega slave-state coastal cities that trendy Starbucks drinking yuppies have encroached upon.

Instead, we have relied on a "must win" government contract to finally fill the holes in basic wireless coverage that people should NOT have to rely on as a primary source of communication. This company apparently can't do anything somewhat important without being subsidized by the tax payers.

This place is a joke.

I wasn’t talking about a job with T. The ccna opens doors with plenty of companies’ IT depts. not everything can be done remotely. In fact , security is at the top of mind these days and IT depts are getting back to doing everything in house. There’s security certifications to get , but guess what ? The first step is still to get your CCNA. Of course , you can be lazy and do nothing and wait to get laid off and take my order at your next job.

Yep. I found out there is a current bid to replace my old group with contractors in Singapore by the end of this year.
