I am also a former Cingular Employee. I was kindly asked to leave, right after the Cingular/At&T purchase happened, as were the rest of my employees, shortly thereafter (I was a store manager). They had tried to fire me under the stipulation that I had let someone that didn't work for Cingular use our printer, therefore exposing "sensitive company information"... the person had never so much as entered a part of the store a customer does not see. I was "kindly" given the option to resign, or be let go. I, in turn, politely (ha ha) asked them to please fire me, as, if I quit, they would not have to pay for my unemployment. They tried to talk me out of it, but I stood my ground. And I was asked to give back my store keys, ID badge, credit card, and lap top that day, pack up my things, and not return. I filed for unemployment, and got it. After I was "let go", they slowly weeded out all of my former sales reps, one by one, until they finally closed my store, so they could keep the former AT&T store across the street instead. They then managed to "let go" of 2 employees in that store as well. I am currently in the midst of a wrongful termination suit that is looking in my favor. I strongly encourage you and your wife to do the same!!!! They are a good company. They unfortunately, have no morals whatsoever. Good Luck!!
