AT&T Files to Buy Yet More 700MHz Spectrum

T-Mobile employees will only get that HUGE(hahahaha, you obviously haven't seen the amounts) check for a severance if they are terminated without cause, OR if they're offered a position more than 50 miles away and refuse it. AT&T could easily offer T-Mobile reps a job that's 49 miles away from their current location, and they get nothing if they refuse it.

And those HUGE(hahahahaha) retenion bonus checks? They're not that huge, and reps get half of it when the deal goes through, and the other half six months later--assuming they're still around.

AT&T has made it quite clear they only care about the spectrum. They'll divest half the company if they have to. Employees and customers are expendable.
