Thread regarding Altice USA (Cablevision) layoffs

Altice’s World Comes Crashing Down

Employees of Altice-owned Suddenlink have been forced to take requests for replacement coffee machines for break rooms to skeptical company committees that review virtually every transaction. More recently, Cablevision technicians are complaining Altice eliminated their winter apparel budget, leaving workers without coats, bibs, overalls, or rain gear for the upcoming winter. Technicians will have to pay for their unsupplied winter gear out-of-pocket.

These guys are criminals. This company is made to fold. They take from the rich and make themselves richer, take from us common folk and could care less. Zero care for our humanity or the customer. The fiber is nothing but a facade for investors. This is so much like a Ponzi scheme it's not even funny. If running fiber was the answer to this industry there would be way more of it out there. It was fun while it lasted. But any office I've been in have zero happy techs and a bunch of supervisors who look like their heads are about to explode.

"The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles. But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet."

When it comes to employees they cannot afford clothing because it is a added expense. Though, I bet their private jet's is blazing warm with the engines always running.

Is it just me or does Altice have the same business strategy as North Korea?
