Say what you want about AT&T and/or USL's intellectual property
escapades, but do not make light of their hiring policies. They happen
to have a non-discrimination policy that should be the model for all
other Fortune-500 companies, if not ALL companies.
I happen to have deaf friends that were treated better at AT&T (i.e.
entire work group sent to sign-language classes) than at any other
company.
Not to mention their excellent record on other minorities, which are so
good that they sent Christian Funnymentalists into hissy fits when they
catch wind of them.
....we now return you to our regularly scheduled useless flamewar.
