1000 New Jobs???

Good grief - sorry about math in last post - here's how it should have read.
Fairpoint started with 900 employees last year - bought 3000 from Verizon - claim to have hired 1000 new folks - which would bring the total to 4900 as of today. Their website says they have about 3975 employees - which is ABOUT 1000 off. They say they are looking for 600 more employees - (mostly temps by the by) - so maybe they are counting as of yet unhired employees in the 1000 figure. Regardless - if Foulpoint speaks or prints - they are distorting something somewhere. I have watched this company for 10 years now - and have yet to see them come near telling the truth.

Of course they are lying. I just checked their web site, and they have 'maybe' 20 positions open. I know for a FACT they have hired less than 200 new people, and the vast majority of them are low level help desk. Fairpoint just doesn't have the capital to expand, they have a huge amount of debt, and they have a VERY expensive footprint to cover. No wonder verizon wanted to bail on the entire thing. Fairpoint, like Hawaii telelcom, is going to be broke within 2 years. God help us all, especially those of us who have FIOS.
