AT&T economic demise
Worst thing American business ever did was listen to Milton Friedman. Guy had it entirely wrong, conceptualized economics in a vacuum. He never believed in democracy, only greed.
What do these leadership development or rotational employees actually do?
What do these younger development employees do all day? I’ve seen quite a few that seem to spend 50-60% of the day networking or goofing off in the Dallas HQ. It seems more like an extension of a social experience than people actually solving... — read more

Anyone heard rumors on what union employees are getting their vtp/surplus papers Friday? Have heard the rumor that an Amarillo call center is closing and some union employees in Minneapolis as well. Any other rumors out there?
What more can be said?
