Be comfee about TP

If out of TP you can use rags. Get a plastic shopping bag and hang it near the toilet and make sure it has no hole and away from pets and toddlers. Cut op rags, preferable cotton based like socks and old t shirts. Cur into scraps. Use rags to wipe and put them into the plastic bag when used. When the bag gets full put the rags into a bucket to water and bleach. Dump that water down the toilet and wash the rags in hot water for reuse. Do not use fabric softener or dryer sheets. It's actually better to line dry.

This anon is comfy.

The 5 top executives at AT&T made a combined $94-MILLION BUCKS last year.

The day after Paul Lorenzano found out he was being laid off from his job in January as an AT&T technician in Arcadia, California, the company sent out an email to all employees congratulating the workforce on AT&T’s profits and fiscal performance in 2019.

“We met or exceeded all of our commitments for the year. That’s thanks to a lot of good work on your part,” Randall Stephenson, AT&T’s CEO, said in the email.

Lorenzano was devastated.

“That felt like a complete slap in the face, saying how great we were but here is your final pay stub because we did so great last year so we’re going to keep this money and not invest in back into the employment force like they said they would,” said Lorenzano, who worked at the company for over four years before receiving his termination notice, along with dozens of other AT&T DirecTV technicians across California.

It was not meant to be like this. Huge tax cuts, supported by AT&T, were meant to allow companies to hire more and pay better. But instead AT&T has cut 37,818 jobs in the US from when the Trump tax cut bill first went into effect in 2018 to the end of 2019, with more than 4,000 jobs cut in the last quarter of 2019, based on the company’s quarterly reports.

The company strongly supported the tax cut bill and promised workers a $1,000 bonus ahead of the bill’s passage amid claims of a hiring spree. (Hiring spree for offshored contractors)

The bill, passed in December 2017, cut the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, saving AT&T an estimated $21bn initially, with an estimated $3bn in annual savings. Despite AT&T’s promises to invest these savings back into their workforce, the company has shed the number of employees since the bill went into effect, while capital investments have declined. In 2018, AT&T’s capital investments declined to $21.25bn, and the company announced plans to reduce it further in 2020 to $20bn, while rolling out a three-year plan to spend $30bn on stock buybacks.

For newly unemployed workers like Lorenzano that situation has added insult to deep injury.

“AT&T talks about its extensive relations with employees, how you can climb the ladder, that there’s room for growth. When I put all my chips in that basket, all of sudden it gets taken away and now I’m left with nothing. Right now I’m grasping for straws, panicking, trying to figure out what I’m going to do now,” he said.

(My story: AT&T has been laying of US citizens since 2014 at the rate of 3200 to 4500 per quarter year and AT&T said that would continue until 2020 and beyond. Then AT&T brings in outsourced workers, often Indians working in Mexico. AT&T's tech has been given to foreigners, the founders are rolling over in their graves. AT&Ts tech depoartment is leterally run by Indians and muslims and they DO NOT HIRE AMERICANS, they hire more Indians and muslims (Pakistanis))

Overall, workers have not benefited from the Trump tax cut bill, despite several corporations claiming bonuses and wage increases were due to the bill’s passage. (I beleive this, the companies are pocketing the money. Trump needs to make suire the cuts flow down hill and not intot executive bonuses and offshored contacting companies)

“Even at the time, this was clearly nothing but PR. The economic theory linking corporate tax cuts to wage gains was never supposed to occur immediately. Instead, it runs through a long chain of economic events, starting with increased investment,” said Hunter Blair, budget analyst with the Economic Policy Institute. “Without an uptick in investment, typical workers have no chance of benefiting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. And for the first time since the Great Recession, investment has declined for three straight quarters. With investment cratering, there’s no reason to believe typical workers will see the benefits that proponents of the bill promised.”

As AT&T has reduced investment, the company has continued cutting jobs in 2020, with the layoff of 200 technicians in California. The Communications Workers of America union has warned more than 30,000 additional job cuts or elimination in wages and benefits are coming if the proposals of AT&T’s hedge fund investor, Elliot Management, are enacted.

“I went into working as a technician and went into it for the long term. They lead you to believe that was possible. I invested four years. I wouldn’t do that if I thought otherwise,” said Sean Martinez, 26, one of the technicians who lost their job in Los Angeles. “From everything we hear business is good. Next thing you know we get a heads up that they’re making layoffs. They didn’t explain why.”

AT&T workers have also reported the company is forcing current employees to train foreign replacements as their jobs are being outsourced.

“Some people have already trained their replacements,” said an AT&T computer programmer in New Jersey who requested to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation. “We are at the whim of management. One minute we are told we will be off payroll this year, then we are told we may be off payroll first quarter of next year.”

Q+ we need you, please fix it to penalize offshoreing or FFS level the playing field..

The comments are priceless.

1)Last year, AT&T hired 100+ Hispanic employees in Mexico. My director asked us to teach and mentor them. On January 10th, 2020, I was given a 60-days letter. My director said the Hispanic employees could do my job now. Today is my last day (3/10/2020). They have three Hispanic employees trying to do what I used to do for two months. So far, they haven't produced anything.

Last week, Jeff McElfresh, AT&T Communication CEO, issued a response to Tucker Carlson at FoxNews saying AT&T has hired more foreigners and laid off American employees. McElfresh said it's not true. He claimed that outgoing employees could find another jobs within the company if they wanted to stay.

I can tell you that McElfresh is lying in his response. For the past 60 days, AT&T made sure that we (more than 200 getting 60-days letter in January) would be out of AT&T by today. It's closed all opportunities in its Career Path webpage. It's played all kinds of games like delaying hiring so your 60-days is up. Or hiring manager would say he/she only would hire within his/her group.

2) The real immigration problem isn't on the southern border. It is the government sponsored visa program that is allow American companies to bring in 10's of thousands low wage workers from other countries to displace American workers.

3) The cut was for giving bigger bonus`s to the CEO and board members plus the repurchasing of company stock .

'Tucker Carlson Tonight' investigates: Are American companies putting Americans last?

AT&T outsourcing American jobs, forcing employees to train their eventual replacements.

"I'm aware of at least 8,000. At least 8,000. It could be more." (Attfag- its 3500 to 4000 US citizens lost their jobs per quarter since 2014 all offhored to India. The Indians are put in an offfice in Mexico to avoid H1-b, Trump can contact me on this, but they have it all so they know)

That's how many AT&T employees have been victimized by an outsourcing process called "rebadging," according to a former worker for the telecommunications giant who spoke to "Tucker Carlson Tonight" for a special investigation.

The employee, who spent nearly two decades at AT&T, was informed a few months ago that she was no longer needed, and was being "rebadged" to consulting company Accenture, where she'd be forced to train a low-cost foreign replacement. She told "Tucker Carlson Tonight" that she expects to be fired within a year.

"You feel helpless and you just accept it," said the employee, who added: "Today it's my job. Tomorrow, it could be yours."

Another former AT&T employee, who has also been rebadged to Accenture and also expects to soon be fired, told "Tucker Carlson Tonight" that all of the replacement workers come from one place.

SENATORS URGE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION NOT TO ALLOW MORE GUEST WORKER VISAS, SAY PROGRAM HARMS US WORKERS

"They are all from India," the employee said. "Most of them are from Hyderabad, some are from Mumbai."

The "rebadging" process is made possible by the H-1B visa program. Many of the 85,000 H-1B annual visas, which are distributed by lottery, go to technology companies and critics say the program has been hijacked by staffing companies who then sell their services to corporate clients and use them to outsource tech work.

"What AT&T is doing is they're firing them and having them work for other companies," says Sara Blackwell, an employment attorney who represents workers displaced by outsourcing. "It's called rebadged, but they literally get one or two days to make a decision and they can't find a job that fast. So they are working for Amdocs, Accenture, IBM and Tech Mahindra, and they're training their replacements there."

"Tucker Carlson Tonight" producers obtained shocking documents from the training courses. Powerpoint slides with the AT&T and Accenture logos inform workers about Indian cultural customs and mention that Indian men will not shake hands with American women. AT&T also gives its soon-to-be-former employees a list of “approved topics” for discussion and urges them not to discuss India’s religious conflicts or human rights record with their future replacements.

"We are an American company and we are literally giving away our legacy. We are giving away our knowledge base," one employee said. "We can't get those things back once we outsource all this.

Many companies say that foreign worker visa programs help U.S. companies deal with a worker shortage but Blackwell says if that was the case there would be no firings. AT&T employees say their replacement is not a question of intelligence.

"Some of the folks that we work with are very sharp," one employee said. "But we've got some [who] if they were dumber, we would have to water them twice a week.

AT&T is currently spending $100 million on an extensive renovation of its Dallas headquarters, which includes a 104-foot light wall. CEO Randall Stephenson makes nearly $30 million a year, nearly 366 times the average AT&T worker. Many believe the outsourcing helps to pay those expenses.

"They said, 'You do not get a severance package. You're not eligible for one since we found you another job.' That's what we were told," an employee told "Tucker Carlson Tonight." "We were also told that we would not get our annual bonus next year unless we agreed to go work for Accenture."

A spokesman for AT&T assured "Tucker Carlson Tonight" producers that anyone who’s been "rebadged" can return to AT&T at any time.

“The information provided to you is not accurate. Many of those employees have already been placed in new AT&T jobs and we will do the same for our other U.S. employees impacted by this transition," a company spokesman said in an email. "For perspective, we are currently hiring for more than 4,500 jobs across the United States.”
