AT&T doesn’t have much of a choice but to find ways to shrink the number of longterm employees. Employees with many years of service are just too expensive to maintain given the massive debt load. I’m fully expecting additional efforts next year... — read more

How will Stankey meet his goal of reducing costs by 3B by EOY?
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

Do you have to be part of the union to get promoted?
Does it play a factor on the union side for any entry level employees to move up to a higher paying union job ?

Severance Change for Layoffs

$24 almost back to pre-recession levels. insane.
nothing to show in the biggest bull market of all time. john and randy.
Houston, we have a problem.
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.
Stock Price
I predicted earlier this year that the stock would fall below $25, after TW is unloaded the stock will be in the $23-$23.75 range!

For those retiring - SDP vs the plan
If you plan on using a 3rd party manage your 401k - they might ask for the 401k Plan vs the SPD. If so, you will have to sent a letter to ATT to request it. The Plan document is not online. ATT will mail you a CD-ROM.
Will Stankey follow in Verizon's footsteps?
Will Stankey wait until 01/2022 to start layoffs or will he act before the end of year? We know he wants to get to 100K employees sooner rather than later. Not sure how this will play out.

What a difference a year makes
