Just Kidding.. When are we going to get an email about Stanley retirement??
Anne Chow retires….she got fired.
No shame in that. It’s business. But she got pushed out.
$150B give or take $25B
That is my estimate of the destruction of shareholder value under the Stephenson and Stankey Regime. Massive Bull Market, Cheap Borrowing, and these two stuffed suits thinks they are Rock Stars of M&A. Everything they come into contact with withers... — read more
Why Directv people are still here?
That is Bill Morrow’s org.
Several senior management retire announcements. Was it forced or sign of times
Does anyone know of these retirements are the calm before the storm? Were they forced out? Or both ?!?
Anne Chow retires
Who is the next in line?
Geniuses in AT&T's C-Suite and Board of Directors
Your stock was at $42 before you bought Direct TV. Well done.
Wekk, it's 4/21 and there has not been an announcement!
Whatever happened to 4/21 being the day that layoffs was to be announced? I told you people this site is full of lies and unsubstantiated rumors! Nothing of substance here!
So How Do We Grow Revenue In The Future?
Aren't we now in the same situation we were in several years ago that led to the ill-conceived acquisitions of Direct TV and Warner? At the time RS said it was the only way forward. Now what?
I don't care who leaves and who stays
I don't believe that anybody from the C-suite leaving will change anything because we're certainly not going to get anybody better to replace them. What I do care about is getting a proper increase (hopefully one that'll keep up with the inflation)... — read more

Years to attract a customer and minutes to lose it
I am worried that the company is increasingly losing its customers. Our leadership, though, doesn't seem too concerned about rapidly losing everything that has been built over the years? I wish I was wrong because we all know how little it takes... — read more
Legg doesn't want anonymous questions
For Legg next town hall, people can no longer submit anonymous questions. The reason that was given, "they want to address answers by name to the person asked" and "they want to distill a feeling that there will not be retaliation to anyone asking... — read more
Life Insurance (after retire)
Does anyone know how the life insurance works once you retire? My understanding is for the supplemental life insurance once you turn 65 it is no longer good but basic life insurance will continue until death. For example say I am retired and die... — read more
Perks
Well they took my DIRECT TV discount down to 25%, got 3% payraise which dosent make up the difference to keep DTV, we cant get Internet here in our community so no benefits there, so I maxed out my EMO account and let others pay me to have a phone... — read more
What happened to Rasesh Patel - EVP AT&T Business?
Why did he quit abruptly ?
Vaccine Accommodation renewal
From my understanding the vaccine accommodation is only approved for 6 month intervals. This means those that have an approved accommodation on file will need to put in for another request before 8-1-22 since the policy went into effect 2-1-22... — read more
I'm completely uninterested in our revenue and profit numbers
Let's be realistic here. None of us are going to see any good from it even if the numbers are stellar. The ones who'll benefit are Stankey and shareholders. If it's a loss, it will also change nothing, considering that we have cuts all the time... — read more

Fiduciary Duty
Twitter wouldnt allow musk to buy it so there will be lawsuits that twitter did not uphold their Fiduciary Duty Maybe time to sue AT&T and all board members and execs for not upholding their Fiduciary Duty?
Anne Chow the Queen of firings
Chow has now surpassed Dorman in the number of firings or forced departures When does this no idea SJW get shown the door Anne has one objective - PHOTO OPS Worst leader ever - not a single original idea
I get that they don’t care but this is too much.
They get rid of good working men too easily. Then they expect the remaining folks to pick up the workload of 2 or perhaps 3 people and to do it in the same timeline. Then they criticize the overworked employees for not getting things done . I get... — read more
Now Is Your Chance
VOTE NO on your proxy ballet for all members of the board if you are that upset with their performance. Or be quiet.

"project firehose"
Anybody heard anything about this, targeted to save $100 mil to $200 mil a year, by cutting certain back office admin jobs? Bad news is you may get hosed by project firehose, good news is that these cuts can pay Randy for many more years of high... — read more
VSB WEST
Any information about what groups and how many will be offered Voluntary Seperation Benefit ?
Outside plant parts shortage
I understand how any supply chain can be affected but this burns me up. I had fiber installed recently. Being an outside tech myself, the installer mentioned that he didn't have enough drop clamps for the job but will improvise. I didn't think... — read more
Apache = Hostile work environment
How can one person cause to many troubles for so many techs in so many crews Local knows and looks blind enabling behavior
What do they use surveys for?
What is the use of polls other than wasting a few minutes of our time saying what we don't think but ATT wants to hear? It's funny how they present surveys as a tool that will serve them to make changes for the better, when we all know that this... — read more
I want to believe, but I can't.
Why does T have the same leadership today as two years ago. The leadership at T has tanked the the stock price and they are going to drastically reduce the dividend. As a long term T holder, John does not seem to have any vision other than saying... — read more
Stock closed below 20 today.
How utterly embarrassing. And yet there are still some people out there who insist that Stankey is doing a good job. And those people work at T. Hmmm ... no wonder the stock is so low.
I have almost no work to do
It may sound ideal, not having a lot of work and receiving a paycheck, but to me it's worrying. The rest of you, how busy are you?
Consumer and Business combined?
I have been hearing from more people that post TW we are going to combine Business and Consumer into one organization. It really makes sense in a lot of ways. IRU subs are basically Consumer with a FAN discount. So that would mean either Anne or... — read more
When is the shake up?
I’ve heard rumors about a post Warner/Discovery close shake up of orgs. Does anyone have any details on it like when is it coming?
Mobility techs low on work
Managers are coaching favorites on how to milk the ESM ticket numbers..... We need a change in leadership.
How much longer?
How much longer can AT&T get away with these irresponsible and unethical standards. AT&T’s aggressive fiber expansion is a dud, as half the installations experience facility issues preventing the order from being installed on the agreed upon... — read more
Totally secondary things are being rewarded here
The value system is totally disrupted. I agree with the person here who said that creating some stupid video gets more appreciation than doing something really something useful for both customers and the company. Unfortunately, it seems that the... — read more
