Say goodbye to Twinkies

Have her try to say that come Jan 1. Cox cable is killing a call center here in Tucson and transferring the calls to the Phoenix center on Jan 1. My sister in law is out of a job and they all but called out Obama care in the meeting. They are not increasing staff in Phx. just increasing hold times I guess. Bet they are doing that all over the country.

cox went through this in louisiana over the last few years. when i worked there in the first half of the 2000s, the biggest selling point they had for new employees was that they have never laid anyone off* or had a union of any kind. well after working there for almost 5 years, the writing was on the wall that eventually there would be a lot of changes. it is the most wasteful company i've had witness to and even more so than working for the state. the cox sisters relinquishing control of the company started the decline and the decision to go public then buy back the shares didn't help with the finances either. what is funny is that when ray nagin was over cox louisiana, it ran like a well oiled machine. sadly it didn't quite carry over to politics..

*they just eliminate positions
