    I've *never* seen them do that. Even when they closed the=20
    call center at which I worked. 60 days' notice, job hunt=20

    That is unless Nextel employees want to move to India. Sprint has a large
    chunk of its customer service there.

    He worked there for a week. What were you expecting them to do, pay him
    out a year's salary?

    How much of that was due to being in the right place at the right
    time as opposed to being due to the job hunt training?
    I was laid of by a large ISP three years ago and also received
    job hunt training, but it didn't do a bit of good. There were
    no tech job openings within my commute area, and I couldn't
    move away or my wife would have lost a good job.

    AIUI, Nextel has little in the way of call centers as it is; either
    all or a rather large portion of Nextel (Communications -- dunno about
    Partners) CS is outsourced (note I didn't say "offshored"), and a lot
    of Nextel's CS calls are answered in Canada.

    AFAIK, SPCS and Nextel are the only two major carriers to outsource CS
    in any sigificant way; T-Mobile and VZW provide CS almost exclusively
    through company-owned, domestic call centers (they may use outsource
    centers for overflow during busy times), and I believe that Cingular
    does as well, except for "AT&T Wireless"/"Cingular Blue" prepaid CS,
    which got offshored about a year ago. Guess which two carriers
    generally gets highest marks for CS -- yup, TMO and VZW. Hmm...

    How much did "right place at the right time" only happen due to
    training?
