AT&T To Lay Off More Workers. The Tax Breaks Are Working As Planned. For Them

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

you are probably swimming in job opportunities and wage increases as we speak!

The day you and your filthy pinko ilk stop allowing illegals to flood the unskilled job market is the day you can ***** about low wages and limited job opportunities.

Until that time, shut your ******* commie pie hole.

Remember those luxurious tax cuts the Republican Party gifted the tippy-top Americans and corporations? The one that has helped to blow out our deficit while allowing top companies to basically pay nothing in taxes? Of course you do! I mean, you are probably swimming in job opportunities and wage increases as we speak! That was the promise from the GOP and their wealthy overlords, overlords such as telecommunications giant AT&T. AT&T has reportedly been able to save $42 billion because of the GOP tax break, but has also been making big cuts and layoffs since 2018. It has also been slowing down spending on infrastructure during that time.

So a company that took advantage of a tax break isn't allowed to ever lay anyone off? Where is that rule?

No doubt GE was Trump's fault too.

I bought a box of 8 GE led light bulbs

after two weeks of use 4 of them quit working

I took a closer look at the box and found that they were made in china

GE is sending me a replacement box even after I gave them hell for importing cheap chinese junk instead of making them in America

but at least we can live without light bulbs

now we find that vital basic drug stocks are made in china and if they dont deliver Americans will die

that is unexceptable

Businesses aren't going to stop trying to make and save as much money as possible just because you lower taxes.

AT&T Looking To Cut More Jobs, Despite Billions In Savings From Trump Tax Cuts

Ahhh, more of that best economy ever eh folks?! I'm sure those losing their jobs at AT&T would disagree.

Dumb post. In every single economy, whether good or bad, people lose their jobs. Thousands on thousand on thousands of jobs are created and destroyed every single week. This was true in the roaring 20s, the depression of the 30s, the stagflation 70s, the booming 90s, and so on.

No matter what shape the economy is in, people are losing their jobs.

You say, why is that? Because the market is not static. Things are always changing. Some companies are booming, and growing, and some companies are failing and crashing.

This is why you look at the over-all picture of the economy, not focus on one single company, as if that one company is the standard of the entire nation.

So let's actually look at the reality of AT&T. First, ignore what they said they were going to do. That doesn't matter. If the market changes, then so changes what you end up doing. What they said they would do 2 or 3 years ago, doesn't matter if the market changes.

This is from page 19 of the AT&T investor relation report for 2018.
2018

Now if you look at Communication under revenue, which is where the bulk of their employment is based, revenues have been falling for 3 straight years.

The bottom line is that you can't pay people to work, when there is no work. AT&T can't force customers to stay, or buy products. If the business isn't there, then they can't keep paying people.

Your own link, says this.

When contacted by Ars, AT&T didn't deny any of the CWA's findings about job cuts. "We continue to hire in areas where we're seeing increasing demand for products and services, but technology is changing rapidly, and that affects hiring and employment," AT&T told Ars. "There are fewer jobs in parts of the business that are declining and facing technology shifts."​

The tax cut likely is helping to build other business that is growing. Such as their Warner Media, Xandr, and other capital investments. AT&T could not invest in things with money taxed away by government.

So without question, far more jobs would be lost without the tax cuts.
