Unhappy New Year: Sprint cutting thousands of jobs

Sprint Nextel could cut as many as 2,500 jobs.
Just saw the “breaking news” from KMBC Channel 9, which says the cuts are company wide and should be done by December 31.
There’s no good time for layoffs, but these reek of especially shitty timing.
This also comes on the heels of last week’s announcement of “dozens” of job cuts in the wholesale division.
In January, Sprint announced that it would cut 8,000 jobs
