Sprint aims to layoffs for economic solution

New chief executive of Sprint Nextel Corp. reportedly plans to lay off "several thousand" workers as part of an effort to reduce costs at the struggling wireless-phone company, which has been losing thousands of key subscribers to rivals. The aim for new hired members if sprint is to gain control over corporate expenses and increase excitement in investors according to an article in the Wall Street Journal on Monday. Sprint, which has around 60,000 employees, already cut its payroll by about 5,000 jobs last year. Many of the loss of jobs is not all focused on the down spiral of the economy but because of sprints competitors like AT&T and Verizon Wireless, which are the two largest US mobile operators. Sprint still supplies to nearly 54 million subscribers, but AT&T and Verizon have widened their base of operations and now serve more than 64 million customers each. Cutting prices could be a possible solution, but that still doesn’t make a big enough dent in the competitions supplies and advantages. The sprint customers will continue to stay away from sprints products as long as news like this continues and its reasonable poor customer service.
As a Nextel user myself, I agree with horrible complaints and comments, that other users claim. The reception is horrible, every text comes in slow, and its overhaul experience is weak and un attractive. When I first heard the news of the released job from sprint, it came in no surprise. They haven’t spread market ideas into technology like other companies have, which also gives other companies an edge over sprint.

Unsung group deserving praise

Many heroes were born and recognized late Thursday night as a crippled jet soared into the Hudson river, but a few were over looked (Because they’re nothing but flight attendants, right?) while their heroic actions and decision saved many of the lives on this tragic day. “They did everything right” talking about the three flight attendants Sheila Dail, 57, Doreen Welsh, 58, and Donna Dent, 51, said investigators and aviation workers, “had they made one mistake, we would be talking about a completely different outcome than we saw on Thursday.” With a deeper look inside the story, our heroes had deep cuts and scars that weren’t noticed until after the adrenaline pumping rescue. Flight attendant Welsh, was located in the rear of the plane, while sitting in chest high water, didn’t notice her deep cut on her left leg until after the escape. So the question remains, do we give flight attendant the respect they deserve? And will we give me a silent thank you next time they give in to our requests? That answer is very obvious now. The respect for highly trained well educated flight attendant will take a huge stride and will continue to soar.
In many stories readers and witnesses tend to lean on the first seen and first credited heroes. But as you can see the real heroes are the ones not doing it for recognition or for a pay check. They are the ones who do it on instinct and on care for other people. Many times in the history of man heroes arise late after the stories have already been written. They may have not been the credited successors, but in the minds and the hearts of those they saved, they are the heroes. Tragedies like September 11th, and especially our American wars, are prime examples of heroic activity with out creditability. Be recognized a as hero is not the message, but being a hero under the shadows and without gratitude, is how we all should strive to be.
