brought down a multi-billion dollar corporation, rather uneventful day
Oh yes friends! no, this isn't a joke or me being over-dramatic. MCI is leaving Nanaimo as of June 10. pwned fuckers! seriously, get your shit and get the fuck out. There doing this pretty much because it costs literally 4 dollars canadian per hour to pay people in the phillipines, and im guessing their commission plan works out to 120% to close rate or higher gets a bale of rice and some sake.
If you follow business news (riveting stuff) you probably know mci was bought out by verizon, which is pretty much the main reason this is happening. Funny story, i was reading the paper a couple months ago at work and i stumbled upon a headline about the merger:
Verizon buy-out of MCI analysts predict 2500 layoffs
i showed it to my supervisor, who just told me it was nothing at all and not to be worried, it would be the American centres. He got TOLD. No one else even noticed the article.
In secret, a high level staff member told me that we were taking too few calls and making too much commission, which has pretty much been my business strategy for the last few months. So in effect, i took out a multi-billion dollar corporation.
Immediately after the news i went to buck or two and bought a huge notepad. I'm going to have free long distance calling for LIFE, and anyone else who might want that, IM me and tell me how much your willing to pay. Don't call me cheap, might not have a (good paying) job anymore, see next paragraph.
So we are all getting transferred to T-mobile rather than just laid off. No one really knows what the schedules/calls/commission will be like, but i'm going to make another educated guess: SHITE. if that's the case, i'm out like a fat kid in dodgeball.
