Consider the employees at @home. They know the ax will be falling soon enough, but they take no action to improve the situation. They fear if they do, they'll get axed and maybe sooner than if they just keep quiet and do what they're told. They hope the new entity, Att, will be merciful. In most cases it won't be. What kind of action? Quietly create a group and then demand that management implement a series of actions. Solidarity. But solidarity is only something they would do if they were trying to unionize. The question becomes what actions do they implement? This is the main reason no leader has come forth. They don't have a clue. I could have given them 20, but no one on the ATHM thread, nor anywhere else thought of that and they couldn't trust someone who isn't qualified to have good ideas. What? Risk my job on what some nobody says? I didn't take this job and didn't go through the university to put my career at risk. Doesn't sound like these people are acting like yuppy California socialist we love you types. They're trying to find a way to screw somebody else to keep their jobs. It's all fine and good to believe in social idealism, but if someone threatens their money, they kill them. This is the trait of a "caring" society. One should care but only up to a certain pecuniary point, then not only do you not care, but also you try to eliminate them for their bad verse.
