Congrats to T Leadership for tanking AT&T Stock to new 52 week low — looks like all the layoffs, corporate real estate selloffs and cost cutting is paying off. Only T executives could get paid millions for running the company into the ground.

This may be off topic , sorry. I would like to speak my peace. I been with AT&T for many many years, we managers were told today that we will not get another day off to make up the fourth of July . And all the years that I have worked at AT&T if... — read more 

SOS, AT&T bottoming out…

The stock is completely fu---d, which is his only job. How is this guy still employed? It’s absurd that he thinks he has any respect from any employees.

..price increases, a new 52 week low stock price every day, sowing distrust among the employees, lack of leadership in the top 3 tiers, running the CFO off, sc--wing up the Firstnet. Did I miss anything? Is it even possible to perform more poorly?

This is NEVER a good sign for a company that is doing as poorly as T. Look at the history of what happens after a CFO leaves a burning building. Getting bounced right now so you can quickly liquidate you pension would be a blessing.

Laptop, badge and COU and he said also password. Why? Is this the standard now?

Looks like T got rid of all their talent so they could end up like Polaroid . Same dead management style, same ending . Loaded up with cheap H1B labor because that seems to be the new "in" thing. Thats innovation right there . Push bright intelligent... — read more 

I see RTO and market based culture really paid off. On track for back below $20. Guess Wall-Street isn’t responding as positively to endless layoffs and treating employees like sh-t as they were before. 🤡

So nice to get the VTP news on June 15th. There are 26 of us union workers here in Minnesota happily accepting up to 104 weeks voluntary termination pay. This is a totally awesome incentive to retire.

Ed Whitacre handed over a Golden Goose to his replacements and they ki-led it. We lost our Dow status, drowning in debt, stock price declines and tarnished by failed mergers and other miscellaneous tangents!
