for Stinky to have a TownHall and explain his crimes to us minions.
Not that Iwant to see the drool coming down his lip, but the Stinky does not have the guts to answer for his crimes or present more lies to us poor employees that he so despises. At least Iwould be able to charge many hours watching his drool... — read more

Not all Stankey's fault
I'm seeng tons of caca loaded on JS but let's not forget who drove this project. T-Mobile, dish, warner were all Randall so I'm pretty sure i know his favorite Steve Miller song..."go on, take the $ and run".
After 50,000 Layoffs And Absolute Chaos, AT&T Ends Its Bungled Media Experiment
https://exaltop.com/?p=15800
AT&T is the laughing stock
Yes, its true, T is the laughing stock of the corporate community. I hope this sullied reputation follows Stankey and BOD the rest of their lives. Could never have imagined T being viewed in the same grouping as Emron and Worldcom.
Let's watch for this
Will the board reprice Stankey's and the BoD's Stock Options? I still have option papers showing that my 1000's of options have a strike price in the high 50's from the 1990's. Yes, I know. They have expired 30 years ago - but it's a daily reminder... — read more
Business Case
The AT&T debacle will be studied for years. If you’re in investor relations save your notes and sell them to the Harvard Business Review.

Over a decade of wasted Assets, Cash Flow, and
Opportunites. If Stankey is notnshown the door within 30 days stock is headed sub $20 in short order. Hit $33.50 after earnings and now $29.25. How can anyone take direction from a maniac id--t like Stankey.
Down $2.25 or almost 8% in the first few minutes of trading 5/18

Market Value
AT&T shareholders will lose $15 billion in market value today and no one will be held accountable! Stankey continues to cruise on, and Randall is at home with $300 million in the bank!!
I have been here for 30 years and there is no
Strategy. Just desperation and swings forbthe fences and pay allegiance to the Executives. Verizon layed it out for ATT to follow, Network Network Network. There is enoufh traffic to eat very healthy at the trough but ATT egos and illusions of... — read more
We're employees informed first?
Just curious, were the employees of T informed of this potential transaction prior to the announcement to the press? If not, why not? It will be interesting to see how these recent transactions affect T, for better or worse. One thing for sure, T... — read more
Never a Mea Culpa, Zero Accountabilty

Stankey's math
I'm starting to think that Stankey's math teacher wasn't really...on the up and up. It seems that young Stankey was taught that the half or even less of something beats the whole or more of something. If you buy 4 apples for $4 and then sell all of... — read more
"How to Lose a Company in Three Years"
The new hit sitcom from Discovery+/Warner Media - "How to Lose a Company in Three Short Years", starring Randall L. Stephenson and John Stankey. I laughed till I stopped.
Stinky slit his own throat and never realized it.
The minute this clown pronounce to Hollywood that he knew more about television, destroyed TW and the talent all left it was over. He finished himself off going after big Hollywood and it’s unions when he decided to sc--w them all over with direct... — read more

Hopeful for karma ..
When the dividend gets cut by 40 - 50% and the share price gets hammered by approximately that much, then hopefully the exec compensation and exec headcount will also get cut to reflect their performance.
lol, Kilar had NO idea this deal was in motion

did randy and john make one good decision for att...really?
I don't understand
Honestly, I don't. Serious posts please. How does AT&T buy, then sell TW, DirecTV, Tmobile, and a host of other companies and sell at a loss while the executives keep their jobs and the board remains? How does selling these mismanaged assets... — read more
“It will be great for the stockholders”
Oh I see. Dump the darling Warner Media for half what you paid and cut the dividend in half. BAD MATH !!!!!! Oh and those stockholders are dumping the stock since the company is run by buffoons !
Jim Cramer Predicting a Dividend Cut
"I don't think that people realize that ATT is going to have at least a 50% dividend cut which is why if you want income it should be sold." https://twitter.com/jimcramer/status/1394310172999290882
Dividend Cut
At least the entertainment value from the carnage created from the dividend cut will make good TV for them.

just as predicted. dividend cut 50% -this place is a circus
they can try to sell it many ways to uninformed but this is still a disaster that keeps getting worse
Time Warner and DTV
The acquisition and wholesale disposal of Time Warner and DTV shows just how disastrous Randall’s strategy was. The company is still saddled with over $100 billion in debt. Good luck to all of the AT&T employees that went over to TW as AT&T unwinds... — read more
Good news for a change

A Decade of Massive Losses and you are
Left with a Toxic evironment and at least 9/10 employees not giving a dam. I know I dont and am just collecting checks and benefits.
Dont forget that Stankey and Stephenson created
A powerhouse with the number 2 wireless service provider Tmobile/Sprint. That was their most successful merger/acquistion but it came at the expense of ATT shareholders.
Combined T and TW Pension Plans. We are so screwed!
With TW being sold to Discovery for a shinny nickel, no doubt T will give Discovery the lion's share of the T pension plan because Stinky hates us T employee so much. Got to get the lump before Stinky strikes again!
Stinkey’s empire continues to implode
He and Randy will be studied for years to come in business schools on how to ruin a once great business.
