Serious question - What's up with the layoffs and outsourcing?
I'm not an Altice employee. I see all these posts here about layoffs and outsourcing. I do not understand how this is allowed because I thought I had read that Altice had promised none of the above when they were allowed to buy Cablevision.

Looks like collections is going to be outsourced! They are not going to be making the move to Bethpage. So just hold out a little longer for those VRP cause they are coming.

Woodbury and jerhico office moving..
Woodbury and jerhico office moving to bethpage main office building . Anyone know when this is suppose to have Or if they are they closing down and moving toTexas.?
Two points, in my humble opinion
1) The competition has the FAR superior product and network. (FIOS, and a wireless 5G network coming soon) 2) The Altice upper management doesn't care that their workforce is really starting to HATE them. This is a BAAADDDDD combination.
