Third person singular or plural?

[Kokopollo]

Hi everybody,
I'm new in this Web Site and want to know which form is the correct one when talking about companies, corporations or businesses:
AT&T has too many employees, or
AT&T have to many employees.
GE buys large amounts of paper, or
GE buy large amounts of paper
Best Regards
Jorge

AT&T has too many employees, or
AT&T have to many employees.
GE buys large amounts of paper, or
GE buy large amounts of paper

They are both correct :)

It entirely depends on if the company wants to be represented as a 'singular entity' or a more like a team.

Some like the plural some the singular.
It's like "team". Some say 'the team is dead'
some say 'the team are dead' when they want to emphasize disitinct members.

I agree with Sebaylias.But in this case,"AT&T have to many employees." is gramatically wrong because this sentence clearly imply "the whole company",not every member in it.So you'd better use singular verb here.
