AT&T plans to lay off and fire more than a thousand workers starting early next year, according to local reports.
Across the Midwest, an estimated 600 workers were notified they were being laid off by the company on December 16, a week before AT&T announced it was doling out $1,000 bonuses to 200,000 of its employees in celebration of the Republican Party’s tax overhaul.
- tax breaks working already.dorf
- looks like the layoffs will be a fun water ride.omg
- < Thoughts Ponyboy?kona
- A thousand is a small amount considering how many employees they have. It’s the opposite of job creation and wage increase, but still.monospaced
- opposite of job creation, so job evolution?omg
- Job cuts you fucking asshole.monospaced
- lol. they're getting rid of service to landlines and will soon provide better and faster service to internet instead. Sounds more like job evolution.omg
- sure, but it's the OPPOSITE of job creation and wage increase, which is what the tax plan which Trump promised would result in more jobs and more $monospaced
- you are, for some reason, talking about something else completely, deflecting to a completely unrelated pointmonospaced
- But, just to be clear, YOU'RE saying AT&T is firing 600 people BECAUSE of the Republican tax plan. Think about it.monospaced
- Sorry, not "firing" 600 employees, just laying them off the week before Christmas. Because of the Republican tax plan. That's literally what you're arguing.monospaced
- It's almost like you're in favor of one of the largest swampy corporations on the planet giving jobs to "robots." Think about it.monospaced
- Don't get me wrong. I think it's the right move to do. I just think it's retarded to say it's because of the Republican tax plan, that promised more jobs.monospaced
- Maybe try linking to the actual information if you want to say something like thatmonospaced
- Job evolution follows technology, from the demise of landlines to the wireless internet have little to do with bonuses and the Republic's Tax Reform.omg
- Not sure where robots fit into this scheme. Other than your roboracism, robots do jobs that humans cannot do.omg
- However the Republican Tax Reform would bring in funding to fuel job evolution. Perhaps that is where you were going with robots?omg
