Stephenson celebrated the signing of the bill by touting $1,000 bonuses for 200,000 of its workers.

“This tax reform will drive economic growth and create good-paying jobs,” Stephenson said at the time. “In fact, we will increase our U.S. investment and pay a special bonus to our U.S. employees.”

But the Communications Workers of America, a union that represents many AT&T employees, said earlier this year that the company cut nearly 28,000 jobs after the bill was passed. On Sunday, Axios reported that the company also plans to lay off thousands more workers “after assigning them to train their own foreign replacements.”

Many of the workers being replaced have been at the company for over a decade but are not being offered severance or early retirement, Axios reported. The company has already inked deals with major outsourcing firms, though a spokesperson insisted to Axios that AT&T is “helping employees find other positions within the company.”

Is this winning?

Just like Trump you're great at condemning the source of the news, but not so good defending what is reported. 
Are you OK with AT&T making employees train their outsourced replacements?
Is that the new conservatism?

It is fake news.   The unions are shooting themselves in the foot.

I'm confused. Are we supposed to be blaming Trump for what some corporation did?

Hell yes... 

Never mind this is happening because AT&T is seeing lower demand for their legacy services such as landline and DSL services not to mention their Direct TV business losing millions of customers a year.


Orange man bad.

Yes. Yes it is. At the bottom of the Axios article there is a link Go Deeper.

Denial of H1b visas is at an all time high.

Watch AT&T bleed customers when they call customer service and no one there speaks Spanish.

Denial of H1b visas is at an all time high.

Why is that important when H-1B visas are capped at 85,000 and the cap is met every year?  85,000 since 2004.  Why is the denial rate of consequence?

I'm confused also, is Trump supposed to pull an Obama and dictate to a private business who it may or may not hire and fire?

Dunno. Maybe some people actually want the government to control the private sector. Not me.
