Is it me or is AT&T becoming another GE?
Is AT&T headed for a downfall just like GE? Should I sell the stock now? Seems to me it would be better to take a little loss as opposed to a complete loss. Heard a lot of bad things from employees and to be frank, they're the insiders that are... — read more

AT&T leadership is confident before DOJ oral hearings
I’m not surprised. What were they supposed to say, that they are afraid and stressed out before the hearings? On the other hand, the fact is that the DOJ failed to produce anything new that would have a significant impact on the decision. Was hoping... — read more

It’s important to confirm that your exit paperwork has been done correctly
In my experience if an employees “separation” paperwork is not done to the letter, the severance check will be delayed. If everything is done properly, by both the employee & the manager, it’s less than 6 weeks- closer to 4. You will be surprised at... — read more
