I don’t. I know many, probably 100’s of others in the same boat. Why would you care more than just your paycheck? Which, that is even iffy most days.....

Will leave a trail of bodies in his wake. Doesn't know how to build anything. Just barely maintain and axe away. ATT has zero chance of gaining ground on Verizon and TMobile. ATT has zero chance of doing anything against Netflix, Amazon, Disney... — read more 

Now that Stankey is taking over as our CEO are you optimistic or pessimistic about AT&T's future? I'm on the "absolutely nothing will change" train myself.

AT&T management says it is “recalibrating.” Their statements to analysts and the media are filled with weasel words like that. Spending cuts are called “efficiency transformation.” Layoffs are called “headcount rationalization.” A doubling of prices... — read more 

Randall the Rat is cleaning out his desk and leaving! Unfortunately, that means The Big Stank is in charge now. In other words, same sh!t, different as$hole.

I have a question. I haven't watched much TV in the last couple of years, so maybe I'm just out of touch with how things work now. I found a show I thought I'd like to watch but it seems like an awful lot of commercials. Thirty nine minutes of... — read more 

Bill Morrow commented that Verizon was 2 years ahead of AT&T on their cost reduction initiative on the John Stankey Video. Could it be because they offered 44,000 Managers 60 weeks pay to retire early in 2018 and 12-15K left? For the last 2 years the... — read more

While the first one sounds great and vindicating to many of us, to me this looks more like a rat leaving a sinking ship than anything else. And considering who is replacing him, I can't see anybody consciously getting rid of Randy just to replace him... — read more 

Does anyone else find the timing of Randall’s departure ironic? CNN runs with a story they Kim Jung Un is in critical condition. Turns out to be false, probably planted story, next day Randall steps down. I don’t really believe in coincidences, but... — read more 

And so many of us contributors lost our jobs due to being surplused, age discriminated against, seeing our jobs go to Slovakia, wasted time on training on 2020 efforts and for what? Now he’s gone...smh.

What's the golden parachute for this d-bag? This POS should have been fired after pi$$ing BILLIONS away on the TMobile "deal" that went nowhere. He save TMOB with that disgusting move. He plowed ATT into the ground and it ain't coming back.

I wonder why VZ saw net loss of subs. that is very interesting. thoughts?

to T wireless and internet customers to pump up the launch numbers. In a year when it's proven HBOMAX is a dud, Stanky will say that we want these unprofitable customers gone....just like they did with att tv/directv now.

More layoffs? More debt? I’m eager to know what y’all think

I thought AT&T TV was supposed to be the Second Coming of television. Stephenson & Stankey touted that everyone was going to flock to this (non-groundbreaking, expensive, outdated) model because of how (not) amazing it is. Yet surprisingly, there... — read more

Stephenson said of the government's theory that AT&T would inflate the price of Turner content to benefit its satellite TV provider DirecTV. A day earlier, Time Warner Chairman and CEO Jeff Bewkes had called the proposal "ridiculous." Stephenson... — read more 

Return 2 work "task force" ...how original!

The space is very crowded and an ATT management leash held HBO/Time Warner has no chance.

Direct TV couldn't fetch $.30 on the dollar for what you paid. Time Warner maybe $.60 on the dollar. Then the failed TMobile merger. ATT never leads on anythingm. They just follow very late and overpay massively. Still remember Stankey talking... — read more
