GCI is outsourcing their call center to the Philippines.  Sources online say 180 Alaskans will be losing their jobs. GCI has always advertised itself as an "Alaskan Company" but apparently that's not important to them anymore. It's even worse they're choosing to do this to Alaskans during a pandemic, when our economy is still recovering. Alaskans, tell GCI to stop harming our fellow citizens and economy, and to do the right thing and stop the outsourcing! Tell GCI to keep these jobs Alaskan like they have been for years!  Tell GCI they'll lose more money from customers boycotting than they will save by sending jobs out of the country.

But please don't complain to the call center reps, they are the ones losing their jobs, they are the ones who have no power in these decisions. It's Ron Duncan and the people at the top of the company choosing profits over people, and they shouldn't get away with it. How many millions of dollars have they accepted in state and federal grants? And now they want to send money out of the state and out of the country. The executives at GCI need to know how wrong this is and that Alaskans will not accept it. Their claim that they can't hire enough people being the reason they're outsourcing is totally bogus. Outsourcing to another country so they can pay them lower wages is obviously a cost cutting move, so they can line their pockets with more money.
