Sprint to potentially announce layoffs in January?
Share:
“With customer care in good shape, more flexible covenants in place and a planned layoff in January, CEO Dan Hesse has the financial flexibility and the organizational structure to make whatever moves he wants in order to stimulate growth," Piecyk said. Though he believes that price plan reductions are still an option, Sprint was quick to dismiss the idea, with company spokesman James Fisher saying that price cuts are not likely at this point: "He [Bob Brust] strongly believes that we use every other tool to attract customers. It’s not to say we would never consider it, but not something that’s being actively discussed right now.”
Another piece of negative news for Sprint, but considering the carrier's staggering loss of one million customers in the last quarter alone, drastic changes from all aspects of the business seem to be the only available option to keep the company viable.

As a VZW employee I feel horrible for those people who will be getting laid off from both Sprint and ATT

Yea the news keeps getting worse for them, but they have a competent CEO and better plans and coverage than VZW and ATT. Ha and they aren't plagued by the Blackberry Storm.

My mother and sister are both with Sprint and they're doing their best to keep their customers. It's sad that people have to lose their jobs.

#3 & #7 need to get off your mom's couch and get a job and maybe a family, then you'd understand that people losing their jobs isn't very funny. But I'm sure mommy will take care of you for the rest of your sorry pathetic little lives.

Shouldn't you guys be in school? Grow up people. Job losses are bad for the economy and affects us all. We are all int the same boat. Do you think that if this recession turns into another big depression, VZW will not cut jobs?
