SIAP -

another greedy and evil big company being selfish & sticking it to the working class...

$1,000 bonus to 200,000 employees - from the article:

quote:

Once tax reform is signed into law, AT&T* plans to invest an additional $1 billion in the United States in 2018 and pay a special $1,000 bonus to more than 200,000 AT&T U.S. employees — all union-represented, non-management and front-line managers. If the President signs the bill before Christmas, employees will receive the bonus over the holidays.


With Tax Reform, AT&T Plans to Increase U.S. Capital Spending $1 Billion and Provide $1,000 Special Bonus to more than 200,000 U.S. Employees

I’ll give you credit, you’re the only progressive posting today. However, all of your posts are imaginary and what if scenarios. Real life is proving the good tax cuts are doing.

By the way, are you planning to donate your money to the IRS this tax season?

how are the tax cuts on the middle class expiring while the tax cuts for the rich are permanent a "what if scenario"

I and many friends have had experience with these companies.. I've had DirecTV for 12 years now. I wouldn't say they are great products.

Does anybody not realize that AT&T is on a huge marketing campaign for a merger that would make all of this newfound graciousness way more than worth every penny they are giving out right now?

They are made because they can't deduct their California state income taxes anymore.

So because they want to make more money, handing out bonuses is a bad thing?

Do you even understand how business works?

I still wouldn’t approve of their merger, but would thank them for starting the avalanche of compensation in the wake of the tax bill and shite-canning of net neutrality.

A literal response to this on Twitter was some prog saying "they are just returning a small portion of the money they have stolen from the workers for decades."
