OUCH is right, and I also wonder if this will carry over to contracted employees, like outsourced call centers.

"A large portion of this reduction will come from the elimination of vendors, consultants and contractors. However, we will also eliminate approximately 2,000 to 2,500 employee positions at Sprint"
...
This is some BS Like I dont get stressed out bout my job enough now I gotta come to work everyday wondering if I have a job they already been chopping people at my call center like nobody business this is crazy then after xmas too my wife already wants to leave me over the crazy hours I work leaving me with ZERO time for my family they have had mandatory 7 day a week 9-10 hour shifts due to being short staffed due to lay offs whats next nuclear war?
...
Yes.
But to be more serious, this is all apart of the economic downfall that we are in and sprint and all other companies are just simply doing what they have to for the future. The value of the dollar is loosing power due to inflation and heavy spending by the government.
Yes it sucks that we (Tax payers and hard workers) have to pay for the failure and dumb mistakes of the wall street, healthcare, GM, and etc's.
This is the reason why we shouldn't have gave them federal bail out money when they turned around and filed bankruptcy anyways. Now the whole economy is feeling the effects of the loose spending of banks and now the loose spending of the current administration.
Welcome to America đ

yea thanks obama and all that voted for this retard!

do you work for Sprint or a 3rd party vendor? i dont believe a MANDATORY 7 day workweek, 9-10 hours shifts is legal by any company. Not sure if thats illegal, or a little exaggerrated. Best of luck! where do you work?
...
3rd party vendor and according to the state of Texas it is at will employment and we have no rights if we wanna keep out jobs long as we get the correct breaks and lunches they can work us like cotton picking slaves đĸ

You cant complain bro you have a job working good hours! Its exhausting work, I understand, but I know you'd be regreting being in the unemployment line. You'll be fine, I dont think you'll be affected. Do you work in Customer care, retentions, sales, etc or Tech Support?
...
Customer Care/Billing/Business and Escalations đĸ

He has to work the hours (if he indeed wants to be paid) but he doesn't have to like it and can certainly vent here. That's the least we can do for him especially if we are allowing people to talk politics here.
...
At least you should be pulling some good OT pay đ
...
Yeah. I wish they would give us a little OT.
