This is the genius running AT&T
An RS quote from Wikipedia: During his tenure as CEO of AT&T, Stephenson was frequently quoted as having stated, "Screw the customers, I'm taking care of the shareholders." Whenever reminded that, without any customers, there would be no... — read more
McCelfresh Email like JVB Interview
Next we will get Stankey driving around in a Maserrati talking about too many mouths to feed. This is like an Office Space SNL skit.

Feels like Enron
Won't go BK but leadership is totally sketchy and dirty. Lie straight to your face and they believe it. Stankey has some type of disorder and must bully board and his minions. Guy is a loser amongst the competition and will go down in history like a... — read more

Internal External PR Spin
Incompetence and Arrogance. Who approves this stuff? The same guys who approved the TMobile Deal? The Direct TV Deal? K–ling HBO Deal? Payments to Trump Lawyer Deal? Launch a streaming service with Boxes and 24 Month Contracts Deal?
