|  Have to dump redundant Bell South IS & Marketing types
All mergers result in loss of mgt staff in the support departments like IS, Marketing, Accounting, Legal, etc.
That is partly how they justify these mergers to Wall St - more efficient operations with lower overhead.

Well, with me being one of their newly displaced managers, it's still a kick in the balls no matter what way you cut it...

If it doesn’t fit FORCE IT! If it breaks then it needed to be replaced anyways. |

Sounds to me like the only thing this will bring about is more sales people, more adverts, and ATT making a bigger attempt to cram it's services down everyone's throats. :/

When FIOS is completed at VZ, I really hate to see the carnage among non-FIOS techs.
AT&T's Union is bracing for contract negotiations: "CWA locals representing members at AT&T across the union kicked off the "one year to a new contract" mobilization with leafleting and workplace actions across the districts in advance of 2009 negotiations. AT&T Mobility members also joined in, to show support for a united CWA at AT&T and to gear up for the AT&T Mobility Orange negotiations; that contract expires in February 2009." »www.cwa-union.org/news/at-t-memb···ion.html
AT&T didn't announce this is if they aren't going after the Union next year.

Take a look here »www.usajobs.gov/ you can look for openings by region, job type, etc. All of the necessary forms are on line and you can submit it on line. If you are a Veteran that gives you a big leg up. Good luck!

Unfortunately these companies often see technical support and customer service as a place to cut expenses. They have these efficiency studies that say they can reduce the number of employees who deal with the customer 1/3rd and still have the same level of service.
Wrong. Cuts in customer service, while profitable short-term, can really come back to burn you long term as you alienate your customers and repeatedly irritate them.
Course management types never see it this way. It's always the employees failing to execute their brilliant management plan... of course.
