1st round of preferencing is going down. Heard total number of 99 took SIPP. 105 will be surplused!

AT&T doesn't offer any of us a shiny future anymore. Those who want to get ahead and actually grow in their career should look to do so elsewhere. Heck, people should probably leave the entire industry, considering how badly things have been... — read more
