Re: Just wait for technick said by technick:I've thought long and hard about it. I'd love to have a sit down talk with one of these Bellsouth executives over a nice cup of coffee. Someone very high up once told me many of those people have calender of "time to retirement". Everyday equals one less day of work. They aren't concerned with you, or me, or anyone other than the 401k and the buyout. They might not even care of the company is here in 10 years.
But what we all need to think about is the global economy. We cannot afford to fall behind in terms of internet innovation. If our internet becomes inaccessible our productivity will suffer, and thats really all we got against the 100lb gorilla that is China/India. Duane Ackerman needs to think about that, while he lines his pockets he may empty his children's. |

I retired BellSo after 32 yrs in 2001 and was talking today with an old buddy still there, about how it is only the old-timers that do give a damn about the company and how we were brought up on service first. Now the new kids don't plan on staying long ,the company only wants the fast buck.
This all started about 10-15 when Bell like a lot of company's became a 'TEAM' instead of a 'Family',they actually said one time that if you can't hit a home run we don't need you.
This was brought about when the big company started to promote higher management from the suit crowd fresh out of college instead of up from the ranks. At the Big three or ten it is stock price and upper level pay first- everything else 3rd.
Thank you God for spell check! |

| You are so right...it is not family oriented. I started working in 2000 and was terminated 10-2005 because I was not 100+% in Sales. It is NOT a family, it is all about the ALL MIGHTY DOLLAR and who ever is not bringing in the bucks...they put you out. I was terminated the day after my husband had a tragic hunting accident...I was scolded when I called from the hospital mid morning, because I did not call in before my tour. I had to come in that after noon to get my term papers. How about that for a good company with good morals and benefits. |

Sorry about the tragic loss and all, but it is a different story in my office I've seen people work in my office for about a year and never make thier numbers before they get asked to leave. It depends on where you are, I suppose. |
