Sales Targets - Unrealistic

TECH SURPLUS WEST

So once this contract here in the west get signed you are going to see major layoffs/surplus on technicians. My question is, are they going to base it on seniority or performance? I for one would like to make it performance.

Tomorrow, Tomorrow...

Tomorrow is the 15th. The day of surplus announcements... Does anyone have any information/ rumors? Groups??? Locations???

Directv

Why did AT&T purchase a sinking ship in Directv? Was it just to get the customer base of Directv? It's no secret satellite TV is going to be extinct in a few years.

Market Gossip

Thought it would be funny to share gossip/rumors happening within the markets. Leadership is inept. Forces things down your throats that are contrary to the company values.

RAEs

Funny how when we got the call, the HR script read by our VPGM was "in order to best serve our partners and customers". I've kept in contact with almost all of my folks from national and local...they're hurting for support, attention and knowledge... read more

Quiet before the storm??

No posts for 5 days?! Any rumors of upcoming layoffs? Would like to hear any info about other departments in the company besides Cellular or Directv. Does anyone have information on how many will bite the bullet next month?
