Voluntary retirement offers are being made to two or more non management titles tomorrow morning is what I was told. What was said is that no non management / bargained employees are being moved to Accenture. The affected managers are all moving to... — read more

You know that feeling when you are in the passenger
Seat and you are instructing your 15 year old on a permit? That's the feeling I have with this Executive Team.

3rd quarter guidance weak already
Any gains this week are gone. Looks like good opportunity for hedge fund to pick up another billion. This ain’t pretty.
Move on out of your comfort zone
So many people are not happy here and yet I keep seeing those same people trying to find a new job in the same industry that has been brutal to its employees for the past two decades, if not longer. It might not be easy to consider such drastic... — read more

AT&T has all the cards but if Randy and Stankey are leading it is bound to fail
Content is everything. Apple will no different than most. Want to watch Diehard over and over again? You get what you pay for. AT&T has all the cards but if Randy and Stankey are leading it is bound to fail. They need to be replaced ASAP. Maybe... — read more
Elliot
I hope he picks this shot show apart sells for pennies on the dollar and fires everyone. Consumers would be better off.
Never leave a job or take a job based on the 1st line because there is an extremely high chance that u will be there a lot longer than him.
A person with integrity and a good work ethic can excel at any job out here regardless of who the leader is. Knocking on 30, all of the good in the trenches for u managers are gone. Best case scenario nowadays is having one that will stay out of the... — read more
Take the "boy band" commercial out of rotation.
It's low quality - it damages the brand.
Greed
Corporate greed is causing great strife in our country's work forces. From the push to decrease wages and the continual skyrocketing healthcare costs this greed has an almost death grip on employees and managers in all fields of work. I'm not sure... — read more
ATT Leadership appears Feckless
Cannot say I didn't see this coming. They created a full scale mess and have no idea how to clean it up. Could never refine and tune their own operations so they just keep buying stuff. Buy high sell low and always trying to integrate everything with... — read more
Want me to be honest?
We know for a fact that Elliot is planning on downsizing and outsourcing to 3rd party. It states just that, clear as day in the letter. Kind of funny how Elliot only criticizes T for its failures and with that same key stroke boasts a “T doesn’t... — read more
Finance Billing Operations Outsources their employees to Accenture

Have other people over fifty been running into a stone wall?
I've been trying to find a new job for a few months now as I know my days at AT&T are most likely numbered, but I'm yet to get an interview. I'm a network engineer with extensive experience and yet nobody seems interested. Am I doing something wrong... — read more
It's about time someone other than the employees notice how bad AT&T is run.
Just read the Elliott letter and while many may call them vultues, they are right. For years now, the employees have known how poorly this company has ran and despite voicing opinion, was completely ignored. Maybe the board will finally listen and... — read more

To my fellow At&t employees
Apparently At&t employees and retirees , when counted as a single entity , are one of the largest shareholders of T. So if that’s true , let’s act as one. If enough of us vote no confidence in CEO and Stankey , we may actually be able to help show... — read more
It’s a crying shame.
It’s a crying shame. I’ve always loved HBO. It was my escape when I got home from work. So of course At&t had to buy it and ruin it too. CEO Plepler and others are a big loss. I’ve watched countless stars say they signed with HBO because of him. He... — read more

Done
T is toast Apple streaming for 5/month. Disney at 6/month. AT&T NOW 130/month. Lmao
What does this mean for Warnermedia?
Employees at what was turner have been wondering forever if our jobs are safe. When will we know?? Especially in light of recent news. Any chance ATT will backtrack on streaming plans? Tbs and TNT have had a hiring freeze for a really long time now... — read more

Singer Wants Stephenson And Stankey OUT At AT&T
Paul Singer's Elliott Management wants to rid AT&T (NYSE:T) of not just CEO Randall Stephenson, but his heir apparent, John Stankey. Stankey is chief at WarnerMedia, and was recently made president and COO at AT&T. That raises a number of... — read more
Elliott Management KNOWS what they are doing - here is the proof:
AT&T's long-time investment bank, Goldman Sachs, had their top activism banker Steven Barg poached by none other than Elliott Management last month. This guy knows T like no other!!! . BIG BIG TROUBLE FOR RANDALL and da BOARD! Elliott... — read more
What are the odds that At&t will sell its wireline?
Opinions please. How likely a scenario to see At&t sell its wireline assets like Verizon did ? Who would buy ? Frontier is broke. Maybe google , amazon? Maybe no one buys. I imagine more likely it would be purchased by a well funded group of private... — read more

In defense of Randall
Do you think that Randall, a boy scout who helped little old ladies cross the street, is going to bankrupt their AT&T dividends and savings and take that golden parachute? I think Randall has been given some bad advice like that the FCC would have... — read more
Why is this a thing?
How much change can somebody who has barely over one percent of shares really affect?
Elliott Management you don't understand
We have established Collaboration Zones.
The grass is greener on the other side!! Run run
Leaving AT&T was the best decision I made in my life. I recommend everyone here to start planning your escape! I left about 3 months ago, I am so much happier now. I am no longer hearing about surpluses every week! I have been looking for the past... — read more
Goldman Sachs Response
John, when you introduce yourself to the crown jewell of content who has been successful for 25 years it is probably not the best idea to tell them they are doing it all wrong and I am going to blow you up.
33 Years and this is the worst morale
I have ever experienced by a good measure. I know very few who are willing to follow the current leadership team into battle. Hubris, Arrogance, and Incompetence in all aspects of their actions.
