More Cuts At SprintPCS
In a further effort to cut costs, SprintPCS plans to lay off 1,600 employees starting today and continuing through the end of the year. The company has already laid off 13,000 employees over the last year. Letting go of people is never fun, but it amazes me when companies announce lay offs ahead of time. That can't make it fun place to work for those who don't know when and if they will be cut.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
