This is a structural move by Sprint, which is moving away from 3rd party call centers as they hire for their own centers (which has greatly increased their customer service numbers). This should not be a surprise as Sprint had the worst customer service numbers in the industry and their 2 years new CEO said he was going to fix the issue. It is unfortunately, however, for the 341 employees without a job.
It ended up putting well over 400 people in florida out of work as well. Accent lost sprint and screwed its employees majorly.
