Once enough iphones get unlocked their users are plunging for certain.]]>Apr 18th 2008 10:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/atandts-job-cuts-to-be-offset-with-hires-in-mobility-unit/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/atandts-job-cuts-to-be-offset-with-hires-in-mobility-unit/Apr 18th 2008 11:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/atandts-job-cuts-to-be-offset-with-hires-in-mobility-unit/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/atandts-job-cuts-to-be-offset-with-hires-in-mobility-unit/
I know that some part of the market share has got to be spoiled teenage mall rats.

I know there was one at school, and she didn't even know what half of the things in there were...

Do you really expect America to know how to unlock phones?]]>Apr 19th 2008 12:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/atandts-job-cuts-to-be-offset-with-hires-in-mobility-unit/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/atandts-job-cuts-to-be-offset-with-hires-in-mobility-unit/Apr 18th 2008 10:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/atandts-job-cuts-to-be-offset-with-hires-in-mobility-unit/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/atandts-job-cuts-to-be-offset-with-hires-in-mobility-unit/Apr 18th 2008 11:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/atandts-job-cuts-to-be-offset-with-hires-in-mobility-unit/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/atandts-job-cuts-to-be-offset-with-hires-in-mobility-unit/
I know what that feels like. That's why they kicked me out of Nsync. Good thing too, now people don't question my sexuality anymore.]]>Apr 19th 2008 12:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/atandts-job-cuts-to-be-offset-with-hires-in-mobility-unit/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/atandts-job-cuts-to-be-offset-with-hires-in-mobility-unit/

These are real people you're talking about. To the author, Mr. Cooper: I'm disappointed in your cavalierness about not caring because it's not wireless that's affected. Let's see you lose your job and then I'll minimize it.]]>Apr 18th 2008 11:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/atandts-job-cuts-to-be-offset-with-hires-in-mobility-unit/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/atandts-job-cuts-to-be-offset-with-hires-in-mobility-unit/Apr 18th 2008 11:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/atandts-job-cuts-to-be-offset-with-hires-in-mobility-unit/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/atandts-job-cuts-to-be-offset-with-hires-in-mobility-unit/
why should anyone give a damn about your brother? we all have our own lives to worry about.

pick yourself up and find another job.]]>Apr 19th 2008 12:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/atandts-job-cuts-to-be-offset-with-hires-in-mobility-unit/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/atandts-job-cuts-to-be-offset-with-hires-in-mobility-unit/
Even if your brother was a lazy bum I feel sorry for him, It ain't fun having no job or dough to feed your offspring.

I too believe the Cooper was a bit over the line calling people obsolete, me thinks]]>Apr 19th 2008 12:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/atandts-job-cuts-to-be-offset-with-hires-in-mobility-unit/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/atandts-job-cuts-to-be-offset-with-hires-in-mobility-unit/
Zzzzz........ Moron. Who told your "brother" to get a dead end job in a highly competetive industry?

I swear, its almost comical to hear that there are STILL those people out there that think getting a job means "easy street" after moving their fat ass into a cubicle, getting some crappy HMO health benefits, and thinking they have a "career" where if they stay around at a company long enough they'll somehow be rewarded with a gold watch at a retirement ceremony after 30 years.

Wake the F*CK up, dude.

work for walmart. :D. profit sharing, a nice gold nametag and yes you DO get a retirement party. oh, be prepared to live in a shithole apartment tho. perfect for all you lonely people who just wanna scoot by in life.]]>Apr 19th 2008 11:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/atandts-job-cuts-to-be-offset-with-hires-in-mobility-unit/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/atandts-job-cuts-to-be-offset-with-hires-in-mobility-unit/
6 Months later he's hired back as a technical supervisor.

Does he get to keep his seniority, vacation, 401(k) vesting?

And what does this do for the short term P&L for the company?

Sound a little too much like a Wall St. style game to reorg and cut costs at the same time. I wonder what will happen when the rank and file employees (who are mostly unionized) get the same offer, knowing that the wireless business is largely a non-union shop.]]>Apr 19th 2008 9:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/atandts-job-cuts-to-be-offset-with-hires-in-mobility-unit/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/atandts-job-cuts-to-be-offset-with-hires-in-mobility-unit/Apr 19th 2008 10:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/atandts-job-cuts-to-be-offset-with-hires-in-mobility-unit/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/atandts-job-cuts-to-be-offset-with-hires-in-mobility-unit/Apr 19th 2008 11:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/atandts-job-cuts-to-be-offset-with-hires-in-mobility-unit/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/atandts-job-cuts-to-be-offset-with-hires-in-mobility-unit/Apr 19th 2008 9:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/atandts-job-cuts-to-be-offset-with-hires-in-mobility-unit/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/18/atandts-job-cuts-to-be-offset-with-hires-in-mobility-unit/
