Is anyone hearing rumors of another surplus June 28 or July 13?

The dodo bird became extinct due to it’s failure to alarm when approached by those who could be considered upper management of the species. It is coincidental that those in management have a common skill, the skill to to wear a hole in the seat of their britches while sitting all day avoiding work. Those who are currently in charge see through this charade and will personally extinct these worthless souls. Time for tea, cheers.
@ZKy7lKv-6pdp I am fairly certain you have never had any interactions with upper management. You are probably in the same job you started in.
Heard the 13th first lines get the AX from the surplus in IBEW 21.
Upper management decided if’n y’all aint doing task work y’all fired. AT&T’s not paying for you to set all day. Get out, we don’t need you.
@ZKy7lKv-4ogc says the person who barely understands the technologies passing through his fingertips, while b--ching about management. So blind. You are paid to work with your hands, so don't b--ch about others who don't do "task" work as apart of their job. There are good and bad employees in all levels. I bet you don't know your job as well as you could, so maybe concentrate on you?
Why all the negativity? Craft/1st Lines are in it all together. If you're going to spout so much hate maybe just go have another beer first and pass out.
Reckon layoffs are due to changes in technology. Look at management folks trying to look busy doing nothing all day. They’re just like the dodo bird, can’t adapt to change so next comes extinction. Most likely sooner than later.
...actually there are no major surpluses in the works, the debt payback is ahead of schedule, stock price is up and most groups have more work than they handle.
If you are making up c-ap hopeful something bad will happen, maybe you need to just quit because we don’t need you here.
If you hate T and the managers and the union... hey maybe it’s you! Go work somewhere else I’m sure you’ll be just as miserable wherever you go.
Apparently the managers will be fired quickly. The loss of noble craft employees will be followed by the purging of hundreds of worthless dishonest lazy high school dropout managers who should be incarcerated for their thievery. So sorry to break it to you. Talking on the phone all day is not working, get out.
Early to Mid-July seems more reasonable; assuming they want the option of doing one in Q3 and Q4. An ending date of EOM September would put the start around mid-July. That gives two weeks of communications while the final 8 weeks are for those involuntarily selected. If no word comes down by mid-July then I would expect only one more this year.
July 13th is a Saturday
Can’t wait. I got another job lined up but don’t wanna just quit. I know as soon as I do they are gonna eliminate my position and I’m gonna miss out on at least 6 months of pay 💰
I'm hearing from different sources July 13th as well more often. I don't want to see anyone lose their jobs.
The managers attached to the craft lay-offs will be announced on July 13th.
@ZKy7lKv-wuf - GROW UP... you act like an immature child... with your attitude... karma will get you ten fold...
Would these be additional cuts to the tech/networking channel or are layoffs in retail or other channels coming this week?
This Friday management gets their day!!!! Can’t wait.
Hmmm probably won’t until September
MW, SW, and SE craft just got slaughtered with over 1,800 on 6/14/19!!! Could there be more already?
I’ve heard both
