AT&T Calls Telecommuters Back To the Cubicle

bednarz writes "AT&T is requiring thousands of employees who work from their homes to return to traditional office environments, sources say. 'It is a serious effort to reel in the telework people,' says the Telework Coalition's Chuck Wilsker, who has heard that as many as 10,000 or 12,000 full-time teleworkers may be affected. One AT&T employee says rumors have been circulating since AT&T's merger with SBC that the new upper management is not supportive of teleworking: 'We'd heard rumors to that effect, and all of a sudden we got marching orders to go back to an office.'"

Some quick calculations

I just completed my intravenous mobile organic multi trillion cell processor running at 7.9 gazzillion gigahertz(it's based off the new iPhone) and it has calculated that if you add up the letters AT&T and then divide by the Latin letters in COMCAST you get the numeric value 666. Just saying.

1. [_] the "powers that be" posted them in the first place;
2. [_] they LIKE it ...;
3. [X] once you start deleting posts, your legal position vis. posted content changes. They don't want to go back to having to delete scientology-slagging posts, etc.

Since the $rtbl edits dont seem to count.

Laziness, as they could just delete it as they have on certain discussions related to this post.
