said by MagMan  :Good job AT&T it's about time. I also say good job. But the whole reason for this was just to reduce the pay scale for these positions.
It's no different in the IT market. In the late 90's before the drop in the market, IT positions could make a decent wage (or more) just entering into the market. So then the market dropped, companies couldn't afford to have an in house IT staff, and sent support to other companies, and even overseas.
Now, you can find (in some cases) the same position paying from 10 to 50% less, doing the same work.
There were 2 groups who lost out on this deal - The people who did bust their ass to help at support, and the customers for losing the great support.
I'm sure they will be calling people back, but how much do you want to bet it's not going to be the same pay and they won't accept the job?

Just goes to show, outsourcing does NOT work.
When someone finally ends up running the numbers, they will see how costly outsourcing was...  
Someone needs to get fired over this.

Thank the Union! There was a strike a few years back, and this was one of the concessions! |
