But a Reddit post from 11 days ago from an apparent Rogers employee affected, claimed they were one of the more than 1,000 laid-off agents paints a different picture.

“I am a part of the 1000+ agents in Roger’s that are getting laid off and I would like us to be heard and actually have a voice for once,” the person wrote.

They claimed they were told to stay silent. “Why has management specifically told us to stay quiet and not to go to the media about this? Because they know this is wrong on so many levels.”

The post accuses Rogers of using workers to train an AI tool introduced last year—under the pretense of helping them—only to later replace them with it. “We were exploited and taken advantage of,” the employee claims.

Rogers recently purchased our local wired cable/internet provider. Service has shit the bed as expected. Signal drops regularly where it was very consistent before. Cell service has also deteriorated to the point that I can see the cell tower from my house but have no signal now.

We were happy with our little provider now we have to find another. Luckily there are a few left serving our rural community.

Fuck the telcos and the government's that consistently keep them safe from competition.
