The only way HBO MAX can make it is by cheating - and Stankey knows it. "Zero-rating has been broadly criticized for years by net neutrality advocates, as giving any service preferential treatment tilts the competitive scales. For example, AT&T... — read more

Dear John (Stankey)
Welcome, John. I guess you can look at it as sort of an IQ Test for CEOs that know more than anyone about TV. But if you want to get in the streaming business, does it make sense to make your product unavailable to 70% of people streaming at... — read more
Publicly posting internal company emails is prosecutable.
Posting internal company emails is prosecutable. At the very least , your employment will be terminated.
I wonder how Stankey is dealing with all of this
HBO Max was supposed to be it. The thing that not just turns the tide for AT&T when it comes to subscription losses but also propels us to the very top of the streaming game. And yet here we are. Everybody agrees that it isn't a game-changer that... — read more
Hope you are happy..
I have been with T for a long time and must admit that the majority of leadership are insufficiently competent. The key to promotion at T is to not make waves. People who know what they are doing tend to voice their opinions and push back when... — read more

LAYOFFS ALL OVER
Greed returns to Wall Street, and AT&T as stock market rebounds, amid the job cuts been planned.
If retail reps are laid off would they lay off the veterans or the newbies first?
On one hand the more senior reps make more money so they seem to be obvious targets but their severance would be significantly more as well. The new people are cheaper labor but their severance would be minimal.
Will At&t buyout pension ?

Getting surplussed 5 months from full pension eligibility should be illegal. Napkin math shows it costing me $1.2 million + benefits I would have received. Wow.
July 1
"We will communicate which jobs are being eliminated in the coming weeks" Layoffs be announced by June 15, out the door by July 1 which is the official retirement date of Randy as well. What's a coincidence.
