'A slap in the face': AT&T workers upset jobs slashed despite Trump tax cuts

    “I went into working as a technician and went into it for the long term. They lead you to believe that was possible. I invested four years. I wouldn’t do that if I thought otherwise,” said Sean Martinez, 26, one of the technicians who lost their job in Los Angeles. “From everything we hear business is good. Next thing you know we get a heads up that they’re making layoffs. They didn’t explain why.”

    AT&T workers have also reported the company is forcing current employees to train foreign replacements as their jobs are being outsourced.

    “Some people have already trained their replacements,” said an AT&T computer programmer in New Jersey who requested to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation. “We are at the whim of management. One minute we are told we will be off payroll this year, then we are told we may be off payroll first quarter of next year.”
