I know, I already asked myself, why did I install a new piece of software from ATT. First, when I installed HBOMAX it asked to use my tv service login. Okay with me, but it did not use the correct one. I manually entered it and got in and logged... — read more

Does AT&T have a hiring freeze in place? Is it across all verticals? I heard this was the case for Entertainment, but can't say for certain.
Are Some Stores Still Closed?
I’m curious, are some COR stores still closed? If so, are those stores being closed permanently?
HBO Max is the epitome of showing up to the party too late
Seriously? Friends? Fresh Prince? The terrible DC movies? Old Doctor Who reruns? This is worth $14.99? I browsed HBO Max for an hour and struggle to find something to watch. AT&Ts strategy is to release old content that’s been in syndication for... — read more

Hbo max is a mess
It’s like att thru everything at it to see what sticks. End result is it doesn’t feel curated as they claim. And seriously , no 4K or HDR? Big missed opportunity. I miss Richard Plepler. It’s now crystal clear why he left if it wasn’t clear before... — read more
Factors agains AT&T
1- AT&T's overall financial situation is not helped by one part of its business model, namely, "buy high and sell low." DirecTV may become the latest example of that decades old "strategy." 2- Debt is one half of the balance sheet - assets are... — read more
With HBO Max, AT&T Has Built a Streaming Service That Feels Like a Walmart
(Bloomberg) – I’d only been watching HBO Max for a few minutes when one thing became abundantly clear: This didn’t look like the old HBO... I was reminded of when AT&T Chief Executive Officer Randall Stephenson likened Netflix to Walmart and HBO to... — read more

Why Waste Time On Nanodegree??
I’ve never understood why some employees waste time on getting a “nanodegree” from the company rather than getting a bachelors degree from an accredited university. Most jobs require you to have a degree from an accredited four year university. A... — read more

Surplus for SE core
Not giving out names of course but coming from a level 4 I have spoken to directly; there is definitely a substantial cut coming to D3 core techs. St and Ft titles. I’m just passing that tidbit along.

I can see it already - AT&T will inflate HBO Max numbers with special offers that hide actual skyrocketing terms in small print and once the original offer period expires, all hell will break loose. We've seen it happen before, and we'll see it... — read more

Lack of Communication & uncertainty
In my opinion, AT&T is a joke. There has been a lack of communication and integrity, since I joined them. I had lost my film/TV and Audio Visual gigs as a freelancer because of the pandemic. I came to AT&T as a way to keep money coming in... — read more

Would you take a pay cut to be a full time telecommuter?
For those in a title for which the responsibilities could be done remotely, would you take a pay cut and if so how much, to avoid coming back in to the office?
"Too much of anything is bad, but too much Champagne is just right."
Like a skyrocket, HBO MAX will launch with a Flair then sputter and slowly die. Just like all of the other AT&T streaming offerings. Too high of a cost for the content and a terrible platform with constant problems.
