Working as a technician for AT&T (in Pittsburgh, PA) I know exactly what Steve and all of the other employees at Meta Creations are going through and they have my heartfelt sympathy for their plight. We have been given 3 separation dates so far for the closure of our center here in Pittsburgh and they keep pushing it back (due to mis-management and just plain lack of planning). AT&T used to be known for it's loyalty to it's employees, now their only loyalty is to $$$$. It's a sign of the times, I guess.... Glad to see that Cararra will be around awhile -- I've been holding off until I knew what it's fate would be.
