I just switched from T-Moblie to AT&T last fall!

But BP, what's good for corporate America is good for America! Those loafers that are going to get canned are dead weight that the corporate world needs to continually shed to stay competitive and keep those profits rolling in for stockholders! If they didn't want to lose their jobs, they should have gotten more training or education! It's all their fault! They should get off their ass and work harder. Really, anyone who works for anyone else is an idiot. A person with real drive and ambition goes into business for themselves. And if you can't or won't do that, then you deserve to get fired at the whim of the companies you work for.

I was googling for a link to potential lost jobs due to this new merger and didn't check the date.

Well don't I feel stupid.

Just edit your posts to say you knew this, duh. Complain that someone inserted a "to" into the thread title. This AT&T move helped cause the recession, and thanks for bringing a little history to our attention.

The merger may not cost 10,000 jobs, but it is going to cost me 50 bucks a month (2 android phones plus one non smart phone on the plan) and I'll have to get a new phone. Awesome. I never realized how much lower priced T Mobile was than ATT.

I predict a mass exodus from ATT if/when this officially goes through.

But to who? Sprint is probably the lowest price of all of them, but I wonder if Cricket or Metro PCS will pick a bunch of new customers up?

Sprint's stock is about $5.
