And numerous departments get merged together, and all of a sudden there are too many redundant employees. Welcome the lay-offs. Thousands of people will end up on the street without a job, further declining this miserable economy. -- This world needs a Reset button |

I don't believe the companies had any overlapping service areas therefore the number of required technicians shouldn't decrease too much. Management, CSR, and centralize network management OTHO may be a different story. |
