Wave byby Stanky
Elliott Management had Dan McCarthy removed at Frontier Communications for gross incompetence, the same fate is waiting for Stanky at AT&T. Unfortunately all the employees now have to pay for years of buffoonery by Randall and Stank.

No Digital technicians laid off in Southeast?
Am I reading this right ? There were no DT’s laid off this round in southeast ? I’m shocked. We’ve been getting laid off every quarter. Question though. What other titles can bump DTS ?
There will be nothing left in the end
I think the latest layoffs have proven one thing. AT&T will continue to shed employees and shrink until there is barely anything left. And until even that collapses and takes whoever is left with it. Those who are smart will be long gone by the time... — read more
