AT&T promises 5,000 new jobs after T-Mobile merger
AT&T is using the prospect of more jobs to help make a stronger case for its merger with T-Mobile USA.
If the deal is approved, AT&T today said that it will be able to “bring back” 5,000 call center jobs to the United States that are currently outsourced to other countries. In addition, the company said that it doesn’t anticipate any job losses for U.S.-based call center workers after the merger closes.
For now, this is on hold because the DOJ is telling AT&T that two Ts are quite enough. But even if it does happen and these jobs do return, I bet that people who look like your ever-lovin’ blogmeister and the majority readership of this medium won’t get those jobs. I bet they’ll technically bring the jobs back, but they’ll import the Asians doing those jobs right now using H-xB legal immigrant visas.
