Seeing a lot of people who were TW early this month changed to FTO. Can anyone who was told they are still TW verify that? This is after the initial change in on July 1.
Head of Human Resources, what happened?
Did Santone volunteer to leave on her own accord? Was she forced out by the stinky John? Did she see the writing on the wall with potential age discrimination lawsuits on the way? Inquiring minds want to know. Next up, Stankey please.
Santone = (trump voice) "YOU'RE FIRED"
LOLOLOLOL, finally some leadership getting kicked to the curb, HEAD OF HR no less. LOLOLOLOLOL.
AT&T industry status
VZ and T-mobile are up!! AT&T is in decline. AT&T will eventually be broken up to save what’s left.
Embarking on a New Chapter: Departing AT&T as a Young Professional in My 20's

L3/L4 “Assessments” not optional and used to surplus with more Age discrimination
Su-kers that did that Self Assessment, you can’t get promoted if you didn’t match whatever profile “Stinky and the Santones” is looking for. Lists have people stack ranked and they are a joke. People high on lists are terrible leaders and performers... — read more
Love all this indecision
People get ahold of yourselves. There's plenty of life after AT&T. I punched out after 26 years and it was one of the best decisions of my life. When there's constant uncertainty, constant churn and clueless leadership, leave. Oh, I just had AT&T... — read more

Anyone hearing anything in these parts of the business?
Stankey Must Be Leaving Soon
Do you really think AT&T wants Stankey as the CEO ?. The plan must be that Stankey will soon be leaving and the blame can be placed squarely on him for the companies failures. Then a new CEO can come in and try to wow Wall St. This is the reason... — read more
Anyone talking about the age discrimination comments in office outside of this board?
Now that there is more of a ‘water cooler’ is this being discussed? Anyone talking about getting this out in the world? I spoke with someone with an HR background and a couple of lawyers I know and they all agreed that the remarks were a real problem... — read more

Stink Fallout

2nd qtr results
The stock price continues to languish and there is no significant progress on debt reduction.
Is yesterday’s webcast available?
Does anyone know if a recording of the webcast is available yet? I don’t see it on the insider
Where is the recording?
Why hasn’t the webcast been posted yet? What is taking so long? PR and video editors must be old and inefficient. Too bad we don’t have some college grads who represent our demographic posting it on TikTok.
Any Guesses where the new Increased $2 billion cost cutting is coming from?

Hardly any of Executives Compensation is tied
To share price. Stankey burnt through over $100B of shareholder wealth and will be playing catch-up forever. Don't forget it's all you mouths to feed that are the crux of the problem.
Class Action Lawsuit

Hiring Managers
Can anyone confirm if Central Hiring Managers were surplus today? Rumor mill in the West is a few were notified today.
He said the quiet part out loud
That's how incompetent he is.
It's not layoffs or job cuts to make exec bonuses, it's headcount rationalization to restore balance to the universe
Calling it "rationalization" is not "calling it what it is." That poor audience. McElfresh said, "I see nodding heads out there, you know what I'm talking about, we're a team." (Something like that.) Then the camera pans to the audience, sitting... — read more
I couldn't "stomach" it today
Literally, mins after Stankey started talking I had to turn it off. I'm not sure what was more nauseating: listening to him recite all of the reasons why he should keep his job or watching all of the sheep in the audience nod their heads in agreement... — read more
Please someone say they recorded his discriminatory comments
Someone must have posted on YouTube!
What was the purpose of having Arnoldi on stage?
Aren’t her customer care agents being replaced by virtual agents using AI technology? Do we really need an Officer overseeing machines? What was she talking about? I don’t remember anything she said.
