Yes, their trying to save money but they've been going down. They keep trying to bring it back up, but I believe once a company has be established as a horrible company it has little to no change of recovery. If I worked for them I'd been gone a long time ago to another major carrier where there is more job security than Sprint. Looks like your forced to jump ship.. into the waters of At&t/Verizon/T-mobile..hardy har

Hmmmm......so Sprint announces 8000 layoff's and they are going down??? So since AT&T just announced that they are laying off 12000 employee's, what does that mean for them, bankrupt? Brilliant, you are brilliant, please enlighten us some more with your Business philosophy.

ohh,I agree. Between AT&T's 12000 lay-offs and Sprint's 8000, and Circuit city's 30,000+ thats a lot of people I feel bad for in the U.S. Some people can only be happy if other people are worse off than them unfortunately.

come on man!!! your comparing 8,000 jobs from a cell phone carrier to 12,000 jobs from a world wide conglomerate, id say that's pretty good on at&t's part. but the fact of the matter is that it's not good that anyone is losing any job's and lets just hope that we can come back from these hard times.

that's my point!!!! The only people I am calling moron's on here are the one's who are displaying insensitivity to those who are losing their jobs. People who are taking a terrible situation as a situation to talk sh*t about a company. Sounds like you are being a little sensitive yourself. And about your churn comment those are almost all Nextel subscribers and though they are the same company have little to do with the CDMA customers.

im not trying to fight with you man, all im saying is you keep calling people morons and idiots and such (not saying your the only one doing that), your pro sprint, we get that, i worked for sprint for 3 years and it was horrible as a customer and an employee, sprint has put itself in this situation with all its cost cutting and such, the future for sprint is bleak, the hole is too big, and if they do succeed then great!!! i still have friends that work for them and i hope they can get through this.

You talk like we are all retail employees who can walk down the strip mall and drop our apps off at the other cell phone stores. You talk like all companies are openly hiring in this economy. You do realize that a majority of the jobs in question are back office work that only have a few physical office locations where the function is performed...and each carrier has their back office work in different states. So if I wanted work for another carrier doing what I do, I would have to uproot my family and move to Georgia, California, or somewhere where another carrier has their HQ or large remote business office. That is to say that it is guaranteed I will be hired. The economy is trashed and very few companies are hiring right now. I have seve...

Damn right!

Do you even know what you're talking about? Besides the shamefull act of calling for thousands of employees to loose their jobs, you're now trying to say that becuase of 8000 job trimmings, the company is folding?

Yeah, you already spread your "brilliance" in the your posting regarding circuit city, but this takes it to another level. laugahble.

and the fact that he calls himself "Americanstud1987" is an oxymoron. What American would take pleasure in so many people losing their jobs?
