They aren't. That requires too much thought. Bubblegum theory and "aw shucks" talking points are the way of the world now. Until these concepts can be distilled into sentences of no more than 4 monosyllabic words, we might as well scream at a wall.
Holy crap. I imagine they are all building their own gold coin vaults with integrated diving board to allow them to swim in this staggering windfall, yes? https://uploads.disquscdn.c...
Every single developer I work with at AT&T is a contractor -- either in the US or remote (India) -- every single one of them -- as well as many of the application engineers and lead development project managers, In fact way more than half of the people on every project this year have been contractors. About 2/3 of them are gone now -- laid off this Fall. Contractors as you know get neither severance, nor benefits nor bonuses... Also about a third of the FT employees on those projects were laid off too.
None of these people were C-level -- not even close .In addition to all the layoffs there is a corporate-wide hiring freeze for FT employees, AT&T loves using contractors because they can be hired for a project and immediately let go when the project finishes or AT&T goes through its yearly 4Q penny pinching spaz attack.
I'm glad your husband is doing well at AT&T -- but many, many people aren't as lucky. And those of us still there, even with seniority, are nervous about the next anticipated round of layoffs. When the company cuts projects and reduces budgets the work backlog is naturally reduced. Less work means less employees are needed. And all companies -- even AT&T -- lay off surplus employees, No one anywhere is now guaranteed a job for life, No matter how long one's tenure nor how well you have performed.
i am for shocked. i thought all the corporations were going to make it rain money on their hourly workers. i need to lie down and ponder where this “tax cuts and jobs” bill went wrong. oh wait did they really sign the “tax cuts for rich mothafuckas only” bill? did i mention i’m shocked and appalled?
Won't someone think of the poor pornography consumers?
Many people are saying so. The phrase has a bright future ahead.
Thank you for your service.
I like it! Crowd funding to get it going?
Ma Bell got the ill communication!
This is freakin' brilliant. I want this on AMC as soon as possible.

We're #1We're #1We're #1And we're going to shove down the throats of the rest of the world.
SIGH!
So simple yet so hard for the willingly ignorant to see that.
The local Soylent Green factory in my home town is hiring like crazy......

My ex-brother-in-law took a buyout 25 years ago. He was too costly for them. Of course he was also good at what he did.
