How prevalent is it to game the sales numbers at the retail or corporate channels?
I'm not int the retail or corporate sales channel side, but from anecdotal information I hear, there's an occasional need to play with the reported numbers or game the the reporting system, to appeal to executives goals. Is this just a myth ? and... — read more

RE: Fraud Retail/IHX
Run credit, down payment? No problem... They run as Sole Prop Business. Bussiness Manager bypasses downpayment. DTV credit pulls past due or down payment? No problem.. They use a generic social.

Dish CEO Charlie Ergen Says Merger With DirecTV Feels ‘Inevitable’

Compensation 101
For those that got the invite for the presentation on the 25th, I’d love to hear your predictions. Based on the bonus payout and other examples of book-cooking we’ve seen, I have my own opinions of what’s coming up. Maybe my memory isn’t the... — read more

Wait for the next 12 months to pass for complaints to start pouring in!
Something is going to hit the fan when people who failed to read the fine print see their bills for AT&T double overnight. And I don't blame the people - when somebody offers you something for a certain price but they fail to mention it's not for the... — read more
Why do you guys still work here?
Is it hard to to get a new job? Are you biding your time until retirement? If it's as bad as everyone says on here, why not leave?
Like a Haitian Witch Doctor working a French tourist
Is how the company treats surplussed employees. Actually, even witch doctors have not figured out how to try to teleport you hundreds of miles away from family and friends or to torture you with a 60 days notice of execution.
Will working here ever become less stressful?
It'd be nice to reduce the number of meds I'm taking mostly as a result of working at AT&T...
March bonus for employees surplussed last year
Does anyone know how and when does the bonus get paid to ex-employees who got surplussed late last year? Would it be a direct deposit? Will they get paystubs showing details of the bonus? Thanks

No layoffs, but BIRMINGHAM? FBO screws up again.
Accenture deal seems to have fallen through. Most assuredly AT&T misrepresented what our jobs really entailed. So we can sign up for new Tier 2 jobs in Birmingham. That’s it. They don’t even tell us what those jobs pay. I have no doubt a lot less... — read more
