With the TW acquisition now solidified, there's the huge debt that will inevitably trigger surplus in cost cutting measures by the company to manage their debt. This is double the debt of the DTV acquisition, but ownership of content should be a... — read more 

Now that it's officially ours, I expect it to slowly but surely turn to rubbish like everything else AT&T touches.

Does anyone know if employees who were surplussed in 2018 will get paid on March 6th (prorated to last day on payroll)? Will it be direct deposited or will a check be mailed?
