I have a friend that works at Comcast and he told me that somewhere around the first quarter of next year that their going to start giving out voluntary seperations, so it's not just the telco's that are feeling the impact of this economy it's everyone
This is not true. I have been employed with Comcast since 2002 and the company already conducted their reogranisation, which is always during the third quarter of the year (November and December. Yes, this is due in part to the economy but as far as I have been here, Comcast never reorganise at the first or 4th quarter. Your friend is mistaken. Comcast is done for the year. Next year will be towards the end like in previous years.
