Name Change
AT&T needs to change its name to reflect a vision of the 21st century. It’s not a phone company, it is a communications/data company. It also needs a leadership that has a world vision and overwhelming technical skills!!

Before SBC came along, T had the company management streamlined to an acceptable level, an overdue departure from the old Bell system way of conducting business. Then came SBC, an RBOC, (Regional Bell Operating Company) that became big enough to... — read more
Why not breakup T, back to Baby Bells!
Maybe it's time to seriously consider divesting AT&T. Return to the RBOC concept, no need for a nationwide presence, with the exception of Legacy T. Ameritech, Pacific Telesis, Southwestern Bell, BellSouth, and SNET were all better run companies on... — read more
4E Dallas

With the technician workload being slow
Has anyone heard anything about early retirement offers being made to the most senior techs? I know techs are a valuable and much needed job title within T, but will T acquiesce and start reducing technician headcount with offers at least until the... — read more

Survey Tracking
Our team was told today to get our surveys completed asap because our VP is tracking completions and no one on our team has completed the survey. If they track the completion do you really think the results are anonymous.

Discovery to Cut Layers of Management Post Merger
This most likely be the case within ATT, as well. Way too many layers within the company. Expect more senior leaders to depart. We will be left with a more agile company. But don’t be fooled, a lot of the new leaders will be young and clueless. So it... — read more
