RTO to blame?

Stankey tried to put lipstick on a pig but wallstreet isn’t falling for it. Down another 5% at the open. When will the dysfunction end?!?!?

If you think we are a telecom company, think again. BlackRock owns ~75% of T, VZ, and TMUS. How is it possible Stankey is still CEO after the historic TMUS, DTV, and TWD blunders? Because Stankey doesn’t work for T, he works for BlackRock (“the... — read more

Everybody is laughing at us and at this leadership team that clearly has no idea what it’s doing. I can’t wait to leave so I can laugh too, because right now all I can do is cry at what this place has become.
