Interesting they postponed the prowear launch, eh? Maybe not sure what the new name will be.
CenturyLink/Level 3 also has a built-in customer base and also a large enterprise business, which now makes up the majority of the combined company’s revenue and earnings. Google would get an instant ISP (therefore mitigating throttling of YouTube by AT&T, should the TechCrunch author be right) and would also probably save a lot on interconnection fees with the CenturyLink/Level 3 global fiberoptic network. Combining Google Fiber and CnenturyLink could also give the company scale to compete meaningfully with the other telecom/MVNO giants.
On an interesting side note, CenturyLink recently released a press release detailing a new connection service with Google’s Cloud Platform. Hmmm…
Well AT&T guy , OUCH ….OUCH OUCH even more surplussed laid off whatever you want to call it. The mad scramble is on !! as y'all are out there bumping everyone, and anyone you can IF IF your allowed
So the pissing contest has concluded we have yet to lay off....or surpluss we have given early retirement quarterly for 2 years now for a toatal of about 12-1300 .
While ATT swung a BIG axe some are saying its at 2000+ affected by the largest lay off in 23 years for your company.. I AM SORRY this happened to y'all do not like to see any Union Brothers or anyone in the BIZ take it on the chin like this . the Industry is now completely flooded with surplus and early retirement men and women looking for jobs now ….things are gonna be tight for everyone
For those of you at ATT that got cut best wishes for you and your families . we have no one to blame but ourselves we got comfy and let sh-- slide especially our representation. seems they do you like us , contracts over a year sometimes close to 2 years , no back pay, anemic raises, passing health care rises on to us, etc etc etc.
CWA NATIONAL has FAILED US …………………...PERIOD I saw where some guy from union was berating the rank and file blaming them for inactivity etc. etc. etc. the TROUBLE is NATIONAL. The labor strikes and lock outs and sh-- you all grew up hearing about? that was when the union stood as a whole. they NO LONGER HAVE that weight or choose not to use it. that's the ONLY way CTL, ATT, VZ, FRNTR have the number to make a difference
last time that went down people were fired and replaced not our industry but it happened with full presidential support. that shook unions to the core it happened in the 80's airline industry for those to young to remember....So ATT I AM SORRY I gave you sh-- ...cuz yall took one right up the keister. And all you CTL boy and girls had better be paying attention ….The WORLDS LARGEST TELCO Just shed 2000 workers in a day …….ONE DAY its that simple really
That info came directly from ATT site I could post names and more info but alas why bother this is CTL and right now all we have is rumors !!!!!! you poor F---s? on the other hand...yeah that's right 900 + to get the layoff papers today !!! all hands call in this afternoon.....y'all seem to be having a bout of the RIF yourselves on it seems a fairly large scale to boot enjoy
Yeah yeah I heard from my cousins girlfriends best friends dad second uncle we get it
quoted from an AT&T source elsewhere " I am trying to give you the warning that ATT won't. My whole crew has been preparing since I told them the 22nd of January that we are being surplused. Only two guys refused to believe it and thought they would get other jobs in ATT. They didn't." sounds like not so much buttercup
Big difference between surplus and lay-off
Unlike Centurylink they (AT&T) will let you go somewhere else to work or different department it is treated as 1 company not many different little factions
that's 330 of those high dollar ATT super techs getting surplussed or "Laid off" this go around !!!! keep that Buddy !!! looks like your glass tower has been damaged with a rock or two ...your in the same boat of course you are why else are you on this site? No better.....No different.....38 an hour ohhhhh shakin here try 46 an hour with full benis and a strong union behind you wouldn't be sqwaking how good your pay is if its under 40 an hour
yup At&T ,
yall are so high and mighty and above the crowd ...wait whats this new layoffs at ATT say it isn't so your all ATT I mean wtf your the shiznint right?

I call BS on your lofty perceived heights
LOL I will take our contract and $38 an hour any day you left AT&T to work for CenturyLink? Who's the a$$hole?
@ZrNfA3M-uxe AT&T
Hey douche bag. all we need to do is go to your page here and see how F$%^cked up AT&T is don't come here with some high and mighty c-ap .Yall are in the same boat Period. I also belong to a CWA ATT site on FB I and others are WELL aware of your current situation as well . we want no part of you either trust me guess what everyone
WE ALL are on the same ship our industry is poised for HUGE change Frontier, Centurylink, Verizon At&t all of you are facing the same as us...... wake up its an industry changer. we are ALL in the same business share the same ideals and use the same tools your response is sh--. some of us retired At&t and work for CTL as well
go ahead read the posts about your company your not in any better spot than us these days piss up a rope
No worries, I don't believe you.
I work for AT&T we don't want or need any part of CenturyLink dream on.
I doubt if it would be just the copper, it would be all consumer, going by Storey’s comments on q1 results. which includes FTTH/GPON, and most of the broadband equipment installed during the Prism and HSI upgrade/expansion rollout. Most likely all of the CAF lines as well. Sounds like a nightmare. Why is the word direct sat, not ATT?
Oh boys and girls, it's not just the SRO's here, the big boys are reading thoughts here too. I was in a position to overhear a conversation between VPs about this site in a conference room in CO. There were some things that came out here that were true and they were trying to figure out how the info leaked.
It's dish network merger, CTL is buying them.
SHEESH !! The OP never gave details ? someone else chimed in about directsat…...this current company culture and merge etc has you technicians HOSTILE …..who cares if its a troll? obviously YOU. what that tells us? your not so secure in your current place. or else it wouldn't matter youd brush it off and move on. the FACT that your even HERE shows us YOUR concerned too. or why would you bother? SRO's are here too trying to figure out if any of their techs are here talking smack
Direct Sat USA llc is a small satellite tv installation firm. This is an absolute JOKE! Try again troll.
Well, wtf?
Direct Sat USA …….which is At&T/Directv would give AT&T a majority holding again ….They may aquire the COPPER but that's all ? CTL will spin copper off to possibly merge with Direct Sat Usa LLc?
perhaps this is what those who were called in for has suggested would be best Rumors abound these days anybody's guess
SHHHHHHH quit ruining it for everyone
I heard direct sat is Buying CTL
