A First Look Inside the Fannie / Freddie Bailout Plan [View article]
With the conservatership, are they still private companies under control of the govt or are they government entities now? Meaning, are the employees government employees now? Will the govt have to pick up their paychecks and benefits?

They also boosted our employee morale by removing our hot cocoa, tea and creamers from the break rooms. We went from Starbucks to Foldgers. The normal sized styrofoam cups were replaced with mini sized cups. Oh but wait, that is just at the regional and Reston offices. Kansas still has gourmet cafes and coffee selection.
It is not about animosity. Nextel was a company that moved things along quickly and whose employees strived for continuous improvement. They were never #1 but that never held them back. They were not conformers. The LEG NXTL employees that I know that are still at the company find it frustrating to here how certain things cannot/will not change because that is the way Sprint has always done them. The cultures and mindsets of employees are too different. What worked for Sprint isn't working for Nextel and clearly what worked for Nextel isn't working for Sprint- those parts that were given a chance at least.
"I know a guy who works for Sprint and he told me there really is no us vs. them we all just do our jobs and most seem to get along fine. "
Yeah that's because he's Sprint guy not a Nextel guy. Sprint side still has blinders on. Everything is just dandy and there is no world beyond Overland Park.
"Finally creating one company". NOT! FYI, the majority of the employees- the ones on the front lines- the sales, customer service and network technicians are NOT in Overland Park OR Reston. Even Hesse addresses that in his letter to employees. Shifting the HQ to Overland Park is not going to create one company...it will further alienate the Nextel/Reston talent that is left.

"I will say that the last round of layoffs hit mostly Legacy Sprint employees."
Sure, maybe numbers but not percentages. Interestingly, all three people in our department who were layed off (VP, Director and Staff) were Leg-NXTL. That's when I decided to get the heck out.
