Heard that this is going to last for 10 days.. If you don't get a call within 10 days.. You're safe. I don't know if that is the first wave or altogether. But it seems like they are moving quicker than ever..

I was one of a small group of people let go in the call center. I am very shocked and speechless. Said I could apply or leave end of year. Leaning towards severance because I have lost trust with this company. Reality hasn't kicked in yet... This... — read more

I truly feel bad for my counterparts and their families going through this. I would not want to be in their shoes at this time. But, if you look at the decisions being made at middle management and as a company there are 2 big giveaways that this was... — read more 

Such a sad day as Cell techs, Switch Techs, Systems, Real Estate, System Performance had some layoffs today. Nobody in management yet. I cannot believe that I literally saw the slaughter of the Corporate America today & it appears the credo means... — read more 

What happened at Warren, Dublin and other IT offfices? Are the H1B's being sent packing?

Cell techs, real estate, rf engineers etc. Pretty much someone from every work group. ED and above are all reorganizing but no word on any one above a director getting cut yet.

If rich CEO's are going to cut even after billions in profit; they should pay the most taxes and those laid off should be able to live comfortable off these rich guys cutting the little man. Days like this make me not care about rich people paying... — read more

Any word on how retail trainers are being impacted?

Leaders like Mesnick, Coil and Wagner come out of this with huge credit for their dignity and class. For two days now people have been sitting together in miserable clusters just waiting to get fired. Perhaps some of that concern amd effort to make... — read more
