Leaving Comcast is a good thing...
I went thru several layoffs with Comcast and each time I scrambled to "get back in". In hindsight, I should have let go and moved on much sooner. It's just a bad relationship, let it go, your new work family is waiting for you! I know for some of us... — read more

Time to organize the employees against offshoring?
I honestly wonder why there hasn’t been any serious effort to organize tech employees in the U.S. to push back against offshoring. Comcast has already offshored more than 5,000 tech jobs to Chennai, India, and there hasn’t been a single negative... — read more

Down she goes
Brian Roberts refuses to humble himself. He is turning Comcast into Blockbuster 2.0. He won’t go down with the ship though. He doesn’t have the moral or ethical framework. That is why he might just go down as the most hated businessman in the... — read more

Northeast Division
Any word on Comcast's NorthEast Division layoffs? I used to work there up until I myself got laid off during one of their many restructurings several years back, but many of my co-workers from that time are still there.
Another leadership change
Dave Watson is stepping down (yay!) and will become vice chairman. Steve Croney (why?) is replacing Dave Watson. Pretty sure if you want to change the trajectory of the company, stop hemorrhaging subscribers, and increase revenue, you shouldn’t... — read more
Let me see if I’ve got this right
They’re getting rid of hundreds upon hundreds of employees and all the work they used to do is supposed to be “absorbed” by those of us at HQ? It’s not like we’re already overworked, right? There’s always room for more. After all, we’re apparently... — read more
