Re: charter being sued.
I just wonder why they bother with charter. Is a move to
try and finish them off? Seriously, Charter has no money.
They are 19 Billion in debt as it is. Its hard to get anything from someone who has nothing. Id say judging from
the past lawsuits charter = screwed and will lose. |

Why don't people understand 19 billion in debt is not a huge deal for huge companies, other huge companies owe BILLIONS in debt and have been around forever. Charter is obviously not in trouble, because they are paying off the debt, creditors and share holders are HAPPY with the company.
Just a fyi, Verizon itself owes billions in loans..you wanna cry about the downfall of Verizon to?
The age old saying "you gotta spend money to make money" strives in big business..verizon has on loan billions for FIOS alone.
So sick of hearing "Charter is so in debt they are going under". I have been hearing this for FOUR years now. |

It's the only argument the anti-Charter drones have had for the last 5 years. Just let them keep using it. For some reson, being totally ignorant to the understandings of Wall Street don't seem to bother them.
said by zed260 :this will probably bankrupt charter what do you wanna bet Well lets see, the sued Vonage and won a measly $120 Million. You really think, if if Verizon wins the suit, which they won't, it will impact Charter's bottom line? Sure, I'll take your bet. You're talking petty cash here man. Seriously, save the money you are so eager to give away and buy a clue. |

It is not Charter's debt that is sinking them. It was their ethics and integrity - aka, lack of.
Many companies prefer run in the red, and some prefer it that way. But they don't sell their soul to the devil. |

That pretty much sums of Verizon, AT&T, IBM, Microsoft, GM, Ford, etc. You act like every company is on the straight and narrow besides Charter.. |

And who isn't?
You are absolutely correct. I am an ex-Charter employee, for one reason - I could not withstand the degradation I'd witnessed of my fellow teammates, most of whom were too fearful and blindsided to see that they as well as Charter's customers, were being sold down the river, also.
Charter banked on the fact that employees they hired could not add, and were being cheated out of hard earned commissions using scare tactics and intimidation to propagate their conspiracy of silence.
I saw good people leave there each night depressed, distraught, tearful, suicidal and dead. It is not a joke - it is fact, and had I not resigned when I did I would have pulled down into that myriad of despair as well.
It's not the money - it's the principal: The unethical business practices and tactics Charter has chosen will be their demise.
Thumbs up to Verizon and a high five. |

I may be dumb and do not deny that I am not. I did, after all, believe at the onset they were a reputable company and that was my mistake - and a big one at that.
We certainly do not expect anyone from Missouri (Charter's home town and Corporate Headquarters) to believe differently. Charter is, after all, the hand that feeds you. But it is also the hand that makes you so hungry you will wait for the scraps and occasional bones they will throw you and snap at anything threatening those scraps.
Sad indeed. |

Reading everything you posted in this thread from you sounds like YOU got fired and want a bone to pick. You'll get no sympathy here. |

Not too sound too harsh, but you'll find this in any call center environment. Sounds like you blame Charter for the fact you're only qualified to work in tech support. Spend more time on yourself, and less time worrying about the crappy call center job you left behind. |

"I saw good people leave there each night depressed, distraught, tearful, suicidal and dead. It is not a joke - it is fact, and had I not resigned when I did I would have pulled down into that myriad of despair as well."
As someone who's worked tech support in a call center and been down the suicide road when I was younger, I've seriously got to wonder what goes on in your head that you can put the 2 together like that. Yeah a call center is generally a crappy job, it's bureaucratic, the people running the center generally do so with their head up their rear, and 90% of the people that call in are miserable, pissed off, or bitchy. But if a job sucks you quit. If a person is honestly going to kill themselves they have a lot more issues in their life and with themselves than just working a dead end job.
Charter's not the devil nor one of his peons. It's just a company with the same business tactics of every other major corporation out there. Get over it.
Will this change your mind? I highly doubt it. But quite frankly that was one of the dumbest statements I've heard in a good long while. |
