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.

That is partly how they justify these mergers to Wall St - more efficient operations with lower overhead.

Hope everything works out for you; BellSouth should've stayed on its own.

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.

But the layoff due to "synergies" of the merger was announced earlier.
