Did anyone rec'v any emails or announcements about the DoJ approving the merger today?

I was out sick today and was curious to know if there was anything put out.

FCC is 'supposed' to announce tomorrow. We'll see.

Thanks...

Cingular today announced that it has reached an agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice that will allow the company's proposed acquisition of AT&T Wireless to proceed on schedule.

Well, at least you're getting Cingular training. We're in one of the largest call centers in the US.

We haven't gotten a word about anything....except the CUIDs.

While all the bigger call centers are in training this week, our little center is getting 3x the call volume. For the next two weeks we're expected to keep the call volume, but they're taking out half the floor for training (Nov 😎 and the rest of us the week after. There's mandatory overtime and all that. I'm going to be working straight for two weeks. It's going to be soooo crazy for the next few months I think.
