Terms in platinum in Texas and maybe org wide including all mid markets. Announcement this week and term by the 1st

A lot of rumblings here at the corporate office in Dallas of some mass layoffs hitting San Antonio. Hearing that there is a huge move to a new building out there and AT&T is way over budget. I have no clue what positions are even in San Antonio so be prepared to follow the work if you’re a unionized employee or have your resume updated if you take the surplus package. If it’s for managers which unfortunately get little to no benefits then I would create a Texas Workforce Commission account right now to get ahead of the unemployment benefits that Texas at least has to offer. Mass layoffs are coming June 16th and San Antonio isn’t the only one I’m hearing about but is the one that’s getting talked about the most. Good luck my fellow comrades and fight on!

They shut down second shift. No one is talking. Can’t see this circus lasting much longer.
