Stankey's latest comments on Disney, HBO

Pushing the best people out is not a winning strategy
I can't figure out why AT&T doesn't even try to keep some of our best people - and not just those with experience, I'm talking about the few new hires who actually know what they're doing. It's crazy how much those on top are ready to pay some... — read more
