AT&T accuses T-Mobile of buying spectrum it doesn't need to keep it out of rivals' hands
Bah wah wah . Instead of complaining why doesnt AT$T buy the spectrum? Oh, maybe because AT$T is broke and too far in debt to even get a loan? https://www.phonearena.com/news/at-t-dish-t-mobile-fight-over-spectrum-purchases_id152006

I'm looking forward to returning and you should be too!
Returning to the office, from my perspective as an employee, is a welcomed change. It means reuniting with my colleagues, which I've missed during remote work. Those face-to-face interactions can't be replaced, fostering a stronger sense of... — read more

Notices being sent out today 10/23/2023
Please post in here if you are affected, been hearing a lot of chatter in the office about notices sent out today
There isn't enough meat on the bone in the marketplace for ATT to thrive without
a transformational change. ATT and Transformational just mean re-organizing and firing and Stankey clenching his fists and jumping up and down throwing things at the minions. In Atlanta and Dallas you have $300K VP's camped out at desks next to Betty... — read more
OUT OF REGION states are in good shape with very
little worry of layoffs if at all! Seems to me that those areas of the country are growing their business with new hires occurring all the time. I know why this is happening and it just doesn't seem fair for employees that are IN REGION!
Awful business practices with no accountability
How long can this last before it completely destroys the company?
Layoffs guaranteed for the next three years

How will the J's and M's work together at ATT without
Letting their feeling affect one another? One side of the aisle is feasting on one another in cannibalistic behavior. America would be better well served putting high priced bounties on the pythons in Florida than providing more mass we-pons of... — read more

Arlington heights location
Those of us in Arlington heights Illinois have been told to not worry about going in the office, the building needs 200+ more work stations to hold the number of employees that are supposed to report to that location. What a joke.
Executive Leadership Conference
All the top executives are at the Ritz Carlton in Lakeway Texas . Should the name be changed to Stankeyfest .
Exogenous John
I had no idea of this thing called streaming. These things were out of my control. There is no way as an CEO of a fortune 500 company I could foresee the trends. Hey Wall Street, you under value our stock price because I know it should be higher.

It sure seems that way. Most boomers haven't really done anything wrong but they pay a heavy price. We all know there is a percentage of boomers that are completely unproductive. I'm just not sure how you go about separating the wheat from the... — read more
