Easy to layoff people, much harder to hire people. Pay isn’t competitive, promotions and career growth are limited. If you have marketable and in demand skills, why would you want to come and work here? Exactly what I'm thinking. I don't want to... — read more

I can see AT&T following the GE model and breaking itself up into wireless, wireline and wholesale. This would unlock some value for stockholders and hopefully get rid of the inept management. As long as Stankey and his staff remain in charge there... — read more

Stankey has a goal of reducing costs at T by 6B by end of 2021. He has supposedly cut 3B but still has 3B to go. Is he using all the expected retirees by the end of 2021 to meet this goal? I can't see any other way, unless he plans a massive layoff... — read more

Looks like there are CBAND delays in the works due to aircraft interference. You would think AT&T and VzW would have looked into this before investing $70B in spectrum.
