Everything this company does is plan in 3 years cycles, I believe this is the reason T is offering some areas the FAKE "transition to retirement". They are able to get older employees off the books in 1-3 years and they do not have to lay them off... — read more
The Verizon Layoff threads are the same as AT&T’s
They are constantly worried about everything that we are. Same complaints on upper management, Union gripes (seniority and the like). Many of their abbreviated acronyms are different but mean the same, we call them mass surplusses but they will use... — read more

SouthEast 9/15, bye bye
