The monthly rates for their services are way higher than they should be and yet they lay off staff? The greed is strong with this company. More Baby Bells anyone?
Isn’t this a thing these fuckers do every year a month before their shitty mental health campaign?
now that you mention it, yes it is. I remember a year ago or so they did the exact same thing. Layoffs prior to their mental health month campaign.
They have no moral or logical judgement.
They are just out of touch: We had a cell phone plan with them $85 (plan only), moved to Another provider for $45 and more data. Bell called to ask why we left, we explained the $45 month. Bell said they really wanted us back and could discount the $85 monthly to $80. ??? No thanks.
I’m pretty sure the underpaid employee you talked to had to follow a script and had nothing to do with the psychopathy at the top echelons that dictates these kinds of layoffs.
Juuuust before Christmas.
I remember hearing stuff when i was growing up that was optimistic about the future, stuff like: “one day, machines will replace our jobs… Humans will have the time to pursue their specific interests and hobbies”
I don’t think i was ever truly gullible enough to believe that’s the way it would play out, and watching it unfold is just as horrifying as i imagined it could be, perhaps even moreso. All the wealth and labor savings that result from automation have only gone to the richest few that can afford to implement such technologies in the first place. They ultimately decide who benefits from all the leaps and bounds in technology and unsurprisingly it’s a stunningly small group of individuals reaping all of that cost-saving and labor-saving goodness while greater and greater swaths of people are suddenly cut off from their jobs–their lifelines in the cold environment capitalism has created for us.
Remember every time someone loses their job, that also means they and their family could also be losing their health insurance, possibly have to move out of their home if they can’t keep up with rent/mortgage, car payments, utilities, credit card bills, food, gas, incidental expenses, etc… prices on everything keeps going up, yet few jobs are paying enough to stay afloat. What the hell are these people supposed to do?
The rich have answered this already. The answer is fuck off and die.
We need Avis Lewis to stand against the bullshit of the liberals and conservatives enabling the disgusting oligarchs.
Wow. That’s a lot. Along with every other companies doing massive layoffs, this really reminds me of the 2008 crash.
And stock goes up.
At least it’s management jobs, not actual workers.
How the fuck do they have MORE than 800 management staff?
