Does AT&T Even Need DirecTV?...Bloomberg Opinion Analysis

Man! I love the headlines coming from the failure of DTV Now and DTV! They've screwed countless employees, now it's their turn!
In the fourth quarter, DirecTV saw its total satellite subscribers fall 408,000 to 19.2 million. Additionally, DirecTV now lost 269,000 subscribers, a stunning 14% decline to 1.59 million from 1.86 million last quarter.
AT&T should of kept on with UVERSE.. Direct TV subscribership is falling fast.
IMO Uverse is a far superior product that direct tv.. ive heard most people that have uverse say they refuse to move over to directv.

How has Randall not received a Surplus letter yet
How can one person manage to sink what was once a great Company. He has taken on so much debt with failing results and yet the BOD have done nothing to hold him accountable. I guess the good news is they all get to walk the red carpets at movie... — read more
AT&T Trips Up in Phone, Pay-TV Services as It Chases Media Dream
https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/t-trips-phone-pay-tv-150911562.html
Hope I’m wrong, but I have a hunch that DirecTV is going to be hit with mass layoffs
Please don’t take this as any sort of fact, didn’t even hear a rumor, much less have any info. My thinking is based on the rapid rate at which DirecTV is losing subscribers, combined with the stories about the possibilities of AT&T selling off DTV... — read more

Craft layoffs

Stealth Layoff
This company can not even handle a layoff for the benefit of the shareholders (and employees) correctly. If on the Earnings call they were truthful and announced a 10-15K (guesstimate) Managemnent reduction this quarter (instead of claiming they are... — read more
It's time to mobilize, NO ONE hears you here. We will be heard.
No one ever holds leaderships feet to the fire in these meetings. No one speaks up! If we don't act now, we can only blame ourselves later. It's time to work together to send this company a message. We need something like a national sick day with... — read more

This year will be horrible

4th Quarter results
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-at-t-results-idUSKCN1PO1GW
My "worst case scenario" prediction wasn't bad enough.
We are not a stagnant part of the organization. We lost so many people throughout our work groups that there is no way I can see us being able to support the systems going forward. Can't happen. We even lost people that were in 1 deep slots without... — read more
