Should they let those 3/20 surplused people go first before new layoff?

Wasn't AT&T TV also supposed to turn the tide? Talk about being delusional. "AT&T has high hopes for HBO Max, a $15-per-month service, with a goal of 50 million HBO Max subscribers in the United States within five... — read more 

We may go back to cubicles! I'm not a fan of open space myself. https://www.yahoo.com/finance/m/1cd31b1b-a93a-3af7-90c9-b08f84597f06/welcome-back-cubicles-.html

I just got back to work after the 160 hours company paid quarantine COVID19 time off. 20 percent bump in hazard pay is generous and i've only been with the company for 6.5 years. i am grateful that there is a lot of overtime to earn extra money

Any ideas on what this will look like in the retail Org?

Saw initial comments on this site that Fidelity was not offering cares act options. Now is see a message on website to call directly for cares options. Has anyone talked to Fidelity about options for those separated from company?

AT&T has opened more stores and 80% are opened. I heard that the VPGM of the areas has been calling the opened stores in the area to see if you answer because they're not seeing sales on your dashboard metrics. That's where their concerns are.

We all agree that Stankey is the wrong choice, but who would be the right choice?

since randy didn't have morals to do the right thing I won't hold my breath but here is to hoping. https://www.thelayoff.com/t/13Bism5N

Magic with the ATT name. They are so out of touch and get all their services for free that they don't realize people see them as Old, Slow, Overpriced, Monopolistic, and Screw the Customer. In this day and age contracts, cable like boxes, and... — read more 

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 

AT&T stock has returned 53% including dividends since Stephenson was appointed CEO and chairman on May 9, 2007. That compares with 143% for the S&P 500, 182% for Verizon, and 118% for T-Mobile. Apple replaced AT&T as a component of the Dow Jones... — 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
