Edinburg, Virginia-based Shenandoah Telecommunications Company, a telecommunications common carrier providing wireless and wireline network in rural Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania, has announced they are proceding with a restructuring plan that will impact 340 employees across their six-state service footprint who support wireless operations and who will not automatically transfer to T-Mobile as part of a divestiture transaction of the company's wireless assets and operations to Bonn, Germany-based T-Mobile.
According to Christopher E. French, President and CEO of SHENTEL, "We announced to our employees today the necessary plans to begin to reduce the size of our workforce for the anticipated divestiture of our wireless assets and operations. Although this change was anticipated, its impact will cause disruption and uncertainty for the affected employees and their families.”
Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life or promises for a bright future. Just because something bad hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
