Sprint layoffs start at the top {Engadget Mobile}
Jan 24th 2008 1:10PM While I have not had this happen to me I do know what you are saying. Its tough not knowing if today is the day you are going to be escorted out the door. When I left Sprint it was on my own accord but I watched many of my freinds and collegues being walked out in my 6 years there. I told myself that day I left that I wouldl never compromise my ethics or my values for a company. I was a Legacy Nextel employee and its a shame they wouldnt give Tim D a chance. If there is ever a person I would go back for it is him. He had value and knew how to treat people in order to make them enjoy comming to work everyday. Sprint take over was the worst day of my life. When SK Telecom comes in and rips them appart they will learn what I felt. Merger of equals was only a saying. It was mearly a leagal way of killing off a great brand that had a lock on a particular customer that Sprint wanted. The reason they could not get the customers in the first place was they didnt know how to treat them. Now they got them and look they are all heading for the hills. Do you think there is a reason that they had to buy those customers rather then aquire them naturally. Its cause they didnt want to have anything to do with a company like Sprint. Nextel always was as small player in a big world but at least they made money every year.

Jan 24th 2008 12:48PM its sad to hear that there are people in this world that are happy someone has lost their job. I am not a fan of Mark DeAngelino or Tim Kelly for that matter and trust me these three are leaving with a very hefty wallet. Think of the Retial employee that is soon to be fired not because they are bad but because someone above them screwed up so bad that they cannot afford to keep that store open. They wont get sevrence pay. Heck they will be lucky if Sprint signs off on their unemployment papers. Thats who I feel for. The little guy.

Jan 24th 2008 9:55AM Phil I think you are getting the wrong impression of me. I am in now way a fan of T-Maybe. I am mearly a long time advocate and follower of Sprint and would like to see them go back to doing things for themselfs. I was around for the launch of Sprint and have been here since and I have seen allot of amazing things. I just want the company to go back to the way they were. Sprint as a whole is not going to make it through these dark times if they cannot start having original ideas once again.

Jan 22nd 2008 12:06PM Your right and how often did you see that Linksys router in stores. Or for that matter sold one? T-Mobile made the Hot Spot at home thing trendy and have sold the heck out of them. Sprint is mearly trying to capitalize on what they have done. I dont fault them for that. I would just like to see them doing things like the VOIP service that they had working 6 or so years ago.

Jan 22nd 2008 10:08AM Its sad that even in times of job cuts and store closuers that Sprint continues to be a me too company. T-Mobile had the hot spot 8 months ago and here we go. Sprint decides we would like a peice of that. What happened to the inivative company that came out with things like, free first minute free and no contract post paid accounts. This just goes to show what happens when you forget your roots and try sprouting off everyone else.
