Randall Stephenson needs to be fired!

Our company is going in a million different directions and failing! We need laser focus on connectivity. The thing that generates revenue. If we provided world class connectivity we’d be killing it instead we invest hundreds of billions in other... — read more

FirstNet

I've already heard 3 Verizon commercials for Verizon's first responder service but yet to hear one for AT&T. And AT&T is the one with the government contract. Wake up leadership. You're taking money out of our pockets.

No one realizes how truly bad DTV is for business

I think the latest quarterly report is under stating the problems. From a retail perspective, whether you're COR, AR, National retail or IHX (Or any other form of sales I may have forgotten) your pay is dependent upon entertainment sales. T lost more... — read more

Learning, to love it.

I used to give a sh--. Now I just take the dollars. There is no place in Randall's world, for real customer service. Once you settle in to just passing the buck, it becomes incredibly easy. Real customer service just causes you headaches. And... — read more

3rd Quarter Entertainment results

So with reading a well written article I see where Directv lost 284,000 customers from Directv. I would be safe to say all stores have high cancel rates on premium all over for over loading and stuffing down customers throats a product that is a... — read more

Slow decision making

The big problem with this company in my opinion, is that they make ALL decisions/changes 5 years after everyone doing the actual work brought the problem to their manager's attention. The company is a behemoth that slowly churns and grinds.No way on... — read more

AT&T is a dinosaur

FYI, AT&T's social media was outsourced earlier this year to an agency in NY, which needs at least 24 hours to develop responses to an "urgent" situation. So much for moving at the speed of Twitter. AT&T is still in the dial-up era... — read more

At&t will never be a leader in content media. They should have stuck to their core network delivery, building a world class network. We are one the way down. At&t is not nimble enough to compete with Netflix or Google or anyone else. This is a... — read more

Shares down, layoffs incoming

We all know the knee-jerk reaction to lower than expected profits and sliding shares are layoffs. So now it's only a question of when they will hit and how big they'll be. Hopefully I'm wrong, but judging by how things were handled in the past that... — read more

No future for older employees at AT&T

Older workers (over 40) are obvious targets for layoffs because their salaries are higher. Plus if the company can lay them off before they are eligible for retirement benefits, it's a cost savings in the long run. Is there somebody who honestly... — read more
