AT&T sounds the alarm on falling customer numbers https://finance.yahoo.com/news/t-sounds-alarm-why-customers-163300570.html
Stankey avoided the RTO question (the highest ranked question) during the Quarterly Earnings Town Hall . . .
But he expects the employees to trust the leadership if/when they deliver the results of the employee survey. I know . . . They Don't Care!
Stop backfilling positions
Just stop. I'd rather be short-staffed than keep training people who don’t care. It's exhausting doing your job, their job, and then repeating the same thing when they quit a month later. I've had enough of it.

One true accomplishment that made AT&T better?
The energy in the office is always low
