发帖数: 897 | 1 AT&T plans to lay off and fire more than a thousand workers starting early
next year, according to local reports.
Across the Midwest, an estimated 600 workers were notified they were being
laid off by the company on December 16, a week before AT&T announced it was
doling out $1,000 bonuses to 200,000 of its employees in celebration of the
Republican Party’s tax overhaul.
The telecommunications giant told the Chicago Tribune in a statement that
the most of the affected workers are from its landline and other legacy
service sectors, but the company did not say how many workers total would
still be employed in 2018.
The announcement came days after the New York Post reported that the company
“pink-slipped more than 700 DirecTV home installers.”
On Friday, the Post also reported that AT&T has recently laid off “215 high
-skilled technician jobs in nine Southern states” and plans to fire nearly
700 workers in Texas and Missouri beginning in February.
Union representatives expressed concern and resentment toward the company.
“How can you lay people off and then give them $1,000 and say that there’s
going to be more jobs available? I wish someone could tell me how that’s
possible because I have to explain that to my members, and right now at this
time of year, this is a difficult pill to swallow,” Joseph Blanco,
president of Local 6360 Communication Workers of America Union in Kansas
City, told Fox 4 on Thursday.
Randall Stephenson, CEO of AT&T, said in a statement that the GOP’s tax
bill would improve the country’s economy and the company’s financial
prospects.
“Congress, working closely with the president, took a monumental step to
bring taxes paid by U.S. businesses in line with the rest of the
industrialized world. This tax reform will drive economic growth and create
good-paying jobs,” AT&T chief executive Randall Stephenson said, according
to CNBC.
Last year, senior executives at AT&T told The New York Times that “
shrinking the [company's] workforce by 30 percent is not out of the question
.”
As reported by Reuters, AT&T is vying to acquire media conglomerate Time
Warner Inc., but the Justice Department sued to prevent the $85.4 billion
acquisition in November for fears that AT&T might charge rival networks “
hundreds of millions of dollars more per year” for Time Warner’s catalog
of movies and T.V. channels if the merger would stand.
Soon after the company announced it would give $200 million worth of bonuses
, President Donald Trump praised the move as an indicator of how the tax
bill could benefit American workers. | t**x

发帖数: 655 | 9 这种layoff 计划是早就定好的，而且新税法出来前就通知了的，而且layoff 是应该有
separation package的。转过年来，ATT再雇回来全当度带薪假，当年微软大规模
layoff的，好多人拿得package太好了，过了几个月经济好转，去请他们他们都不肯回
来。五十几个星期的带薪假，哪找去？ |
