Geez, I'm sorry for all this craziness thrown at you all of a sudden. Why do you think there is no chance that people will keep their jobs?

ATT is such a huge company that this acquisition will be a very minor blip on their radar. Acquisitions are something they do frequently and I am sure the have gotten very efficient at it. They won't require any extra head count to handle the small number of additional lines, etc. The Little Rock office will be shut down.

There is a small chance that during the process, John could gain a contact that would give him a leg up getting an existing job opening at ATT. But any ATT job would be in Dallas, so it will me an a big change regardless.

Yuck, that sucks. Alltel ruins everything. At least he has plenty of advance warning to start looking for a job. He's *almost* as good of an accountant as I am, so I'm sure he will land on his feet ; )
