AT&T giving 200k workers $1000 bonus -- spending $1bil in capital investment because of tax cuts

[raleighherdfan]

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- AT&T has announced layoff’s affecting people in five states, including Missouri.

Just days before Christmas, hundreds of people in the metro found out they will be out of jobs come Jan. 4.

On Dec. 16, the company announced a surplus affecting an estimated 600 employees in Illinois, Wisconsin, Missouri, Michigan, Indiana and Ohio.

the same night AT&T announced $1,000 bonuses for more than 200,000 U.S. employees in response to the GOP Tax Plan passing. Those recently notified of these job cuts say the bonuses seem like a slap in the face.

Shouldn’t you lefties be celebrating AT&T layoffs? The hate that comes from you and others about big cable, big ISPs, big Corps....the hell with them. Right??

So the bonuses announcement was just a PR stunt.

It's a tax cut for the rich. The only reason they threw a morsel to others is so they could sell it to their uninformed base. We both know that.

Man this guy is the biggest idiot I’ve ever seen

That's EXACTLY what they're doing, moron. Corporations are already sitting on record profits, so they could have done this before.

Go back to chasing ambulances. 200k employees got bonuses. 600 will likely get hired by Comcast.

It’s called business. Something you (and Greed) know nothing about.

You’ve never been able to describe the (mythical) transfer.
