to 2,550.


Including the layoffs announced Friday, Sprint has cut more than 21,500
jobs in the past two years.

And they still have 70,000 employees. So, what's your point?

I agree. I think it's a valid post.

I didn't say it wasn't a valid post. I just asked what his point was ...
considering he (and everyone knows who that is) didn't include any other
information from the AP article.

The link was included, and if anything else was said you would complain about
editorializing.

Another example of the kinds of half-truths that you've been far too
guilty of for a very long time.

I was the one who brought your editorializing.

*Not* because you were doing it, but because you claimed you were
not.

Actually, to be accurate, you were editorializing and then claiming
to simply be posting information. Which is the same thing in any
practical sense.

Try apologizing to the 550 **additional** folks who will be laid off.

And apparently the layoffs are because Sprint PCS needs to double its
advertsing budget to try to explain "Fair and Flexible" which is neither.

Not to ignore the base subject, but is it true that some of the call
centers are going to skeleton crews ? Has this happened where you are ?
This is NOT a troll post, I really am interested.

There hasn't been one single layoff in the one I work in. In fact,
we've been hiring.
