Thread regarding Shaw Communications Inc. layoffs

the big boss company is watching all of the workers now, yes they are laying off lot of people in Chickamuga and Ringgold GA, they are laying off some people because they don't do their job, I know somebody who work there for 27 years and he see lot of people got fire and layoff there . Now they don't do anymore over time. they can't afford it. they also cut down benefits at Chickamuga.

Telus, Rogers, Shaw are all in government regulated 'oligopolies' okay

Telus used to crown corporation and you had life long job if you got a job a telus in the 70's. and profits was huge --no competition.

there is no growth in the telecom sector. internet is plateau, and video is now competition from video streaming at less money. like Netflix. they want same or more dividends. and want share price growth.

Shaw and many companies are trying to boost dividend checks in 'no growth' time in their business.

The cable business was small family business in the 70's and 80's and 50% of Americans and Canadians didn't even have cable.

Now in the 90's there was huge growth. and became billion dollar companies and owning channels,internet. so even a small 10% reduction in wages is 100 million or more. says the CFO who gets BONUS or saving money(layoffs,outsourcing)

Are you mad?? Where do you sit to dream up all this "blah blah"?? Understand the FACTS before you spout off at the mouth.

In most areas you don't all the technicians that are hired. It is a voluntary lay off. You're given an option.
