The AI Dan wants says to replace Dan, but will he follow his own directive? ?

Looking over all the bad decisions that VZ has made regarding the direction of the company since Dan has taken over with the direction of using AI has only really proven that, he should have replaced himself and most of the leadership with AI. The decisions that have been made have been horrible that even a 10 year old could have seen the outcome, from shipping many of the Engineering and Network Engineering positions to India to laying off and closing sales, Just stupid. So, I ran the last years events through Chat GPT as a model and asked for the a 12 recommendation of business direction. Funny, or not funny, top recommendation, eliminate Dan and most of the top team, and replaced with AI! LOL. He-l, definitely can't do worse and would save millions as well as save thousands of jobs and customers. However, like through the the years as I have pointed out known questionable and later proven fraudulent activities within the company and been told every time to "Stay in my lane". This time when it could save billions, and not just millions, and thousands of jobs, I have been told to stay in my lane. To bad Dan won't stand up and be a man and follow his own advice, and follow AI, and step down!

This is the nonsense Lyons can stop immediately

We are spending money on this?
Today, our group of 10 Truist leaders begins our Yosemite Leadership Expedition—three days of challenge, connection, and leading with wellbeing.
This year also marks a special milestone: our first female executives joining the annual leader expedition!

Our journey takes us toward Clouds Rest and then Half Dome, where we plan to summit on the morning of September 11. On the 25th anniversary of 9/11, we will carry the American flag, Truist banner, and Truist torch in remembrance of those we lost and in honor of the courage and sacrifice we will never forget.

Of course Hagerman is front and center of this nonsense. What could this bank possibly hope to accomplish with this stunt? A Truist torch taken across the country and even the mountains of Italy. Make it make sense!

Will SpaceX be forced to acquire us?

At TMT Osvaldik indicated that we will not enable a Starlink MVNO. But since our D2D joint venture with ATT / Verizon was announced, rumors have circled that T-Satellite will be ditching Starlink for AST Spacemobile once their service us up. If this happens I fear that SpaceX has no choice but to acquire us - as its the only way they will be able to provide true terrestrial service to the U.S. market. That would result in a major bloodbath (we all saw what happened when Elon acquired X). Doubt it would make financial sense, but SpaceX can easily raise the $ and they are looking deep into the future.

Can someone please talk me off this cliff?

I have no idea how to spell that subject line and was too lazy to look it up.

Enrique spoke yesterday and he basically trashed the business model Alex put into place and said PayPal focused too much on merchants at the cost of consumers.

When Alex came in he trashed the model Dan had in place and said we focused too much on large enterprise at the cost of small businesses. So he hired Gill and lifted that whole pillar. We know what happened to that when Enrique joined.

It’s absolutely clear to me that Enrique is throwing the last spaghetti on the wall and praying it sticks. So now, sc--w you branded checkout and merchants. We are a consumer first company. Good luck! Wall Street responds as Wall Street responds.

Abdul's (now Joh Saw's) org was 5 days RTO for managers/directors as soon as the place was reopened with WFH as an exception (e.g., we've got a 3am install occurring...) and you had to have the mandated jab.
Funny that JUST NOW the rest of the org is being mandated RTO.

@ay, leadership know that some people are just badge swiping. There will be surveillance enhancements to know who is leaving the office building and when. Facial recognition, transition from using the badge to device for building access, who knows what's coming. But what is clear is their stance on WFH has changed.

It's about time. There are way too many employees taking advantage of "Working" from Home....aka Costco runs, babysitting, mowing the lawn, playing golf, watching TV, sleeping, and who knows what else!
Time to get back to the office where the above activities will be harder to pull off. This company needs every employee fully engaged and doing the work they are being paid to do. The stock is way off and shareholders deserve better. The Covid era party has lasted way too long, and is finally coming to an end.

@qt I guess you’re more productive while talking around a break room drinking coffee instead, or physically attending pointless weekly meetings about updates that you already put in 2 or 3 slide presentations the previous day. You must really have no life if you prefer to be trapped in an office 5 days a week for this nonsense.

Sounds like what you are really wanting is freedom and the ability to call your own shots. That's called financial independence or retirement. Until then...you are an employee where they pay you to do, what they tell you to do. Save your money my friend and invest well. Cheers!

@1yd Sadly, I’m probably closer to your age than you think but I’ve evolved to recognize work life balance and not be a sheep. I’m not talking about hard work, I’m talking about office politics. By all means do your job well. That said; We’re all entitled to some level of freedom. The days of shutting down from work off hours is over for most people with technology. In the very least, you should be allowed to work remotely a good portion of your time.
Ironic that you signed off with “cheers.” Perhaps you should consider the European philosophy to work instead of being pretentious.

It’s not just about a badge swipe. It’s going to be hourly laptop pings confirming connection to the LAN to see how long you stay in the office, along with geofencing your phone. This is truly insidious work. Trust me. I’m the one creating the report.

@265 they are not geofencing phones. I pay for my phone and service. Nowhere in the T&Cs does it state this for employees. If this was proven to be occurring, the company could get majorly fined. Company issued laptops are a different story. Your personal phones and service that you pay for - not happening.

I have been retired a couple years. All I know is Costco, pickleball courts, coffee shops, Home Depot and everything else you can imagine have a lot more under 60 people at them, during normal weekday working hours. Before Covid, when I would take a vacation day during the week....most places were a ghost town. Not the case anymore. Either everyone is retired all a sudden, or something else is going on. I think you can do the math from here. This isn't just a T-Mobile thing either. Publicly traded companies that answer to shareholders are course correcting. And....AI is more than happy to do your job too.

Return-to-office (RTO) trends in 2026 are defined by tighter enforcement of hybrid models and a shift away from flexible, ad-hoc schedules toward mandatory 3-to-5 day in-office requirements. Despite worker reluctance, many major employers are utilizing badge-swipe tracking and expanding disciplinary action to ensure compliance.
Key RTO Trends Rise of the 4-to-5 Day Mandate: The standard 2-3 day hybrid model is evolving. Around 30% of organizations now require a full 5-day in-office week, while four-day requirements are steadily increasing.
The Era of "The Great Compliance": Unlike the past few years where return mandates led to massive pushback, a tightening job market has caused the percentage of workers willing to quit over RTO to drop to roughly 7%.
Stricter Badge-Swipe Tracking: Companies are actively using digital surveillance—such as badge-swipe data and location logins—rather than relying on trust to enforce required minimum office days.
Sector-Specific Stringency: The push is particularly aggressive in finance and tech. For example, prominent institutions like UBS have restricted remaining junior banker flexibilities, demanding 5-day attendance.
Disconnection & Morale Issues: Although compliance is up, continuous enforcement alongside organizational layoffs has contributed to a growing disconnect between executives prioritizing physical presence and employees valuing flexibility.

@2bp okay. Be honest. If TMO really wants to implement back to office. They better make sure f..ing people scanning and going back. These Directors and VP knows who they are and not taking any action. This is 2 sets of standards. Get this f.. fix first and then ask other to RTO.

@2pn Pull what report. Person who comes, scan the badge and go will be always 3 days in the report. So what is the rule? scan and go or be in the office. My manager is next to me and I can’t scan and go. But, I see other team member does that.

@2r2 No longer just about badge scans. Time actually in the office will be captured to show how long the computer is active and on the office network each day. I'm sure some people will try to just park there computer on campus and leave. That behavior be sniffed out quickly.

@2rw I hope you are right, but I have not seen that in reality. Every month we are told by our manager that how many days each are in the office. NOT how long they are there. This is very frustrating for people who is actually in the office and other they CHEAT the system all the time. This needs to STOP now or other be flexible.

The internal fighting that T-Mobile has created over who when and how long coworkers are in the office is lovely. They don’t need surveillance tools, just jealous tattletales or generally pi---d off peers. Great culture. [hash] we won’t stop

@2tg Rules for thee and not me...has never worked long term. It creates an environment that no one likes and pits people against each other. Eventually either the rules change, or "everyone" is held to the same standard. Time will tell.

Bring it on. I want the lazy a$$es who have been milking the system for way too long, to at least have to pretend to be working 8 hours a day. At the end of the day, this is a management issue. People rise or fall based on what is expected from them.

Done — tlo-dump-2026-09-09/ is created in /Users/trieste/Desktop/VSCode/temp/ with four files:

File Grain Rows
thread.csv thread/OP + board-level counters 1
posts.csv one row per post (OP + 43 replies) 44
autotags.csv one row per tag (long format) 5
README.md schema, validation, assumptions —
How the data got categorized. Three grains rather than one flat file: thread-level counters (views, reply count, last-reply date) belong to the thread, not to any post, and the five AutoTags are a repeating group, so they went long instead of being crammed into one cell. posts.csv splits every composite the site renders as prose: @cy+1kt0n0jhf → post_id + post_ref; 23 reactions (+21/-2) → reactions_total, upvotes, downvotes, net_score; the leading @xx mention → reply_to_ref, which reconstructs the reply tree (30 of 43 replies point at a parent, 13 are top-level). Added author_type (38 anonymous, 5 pseudonymous, 1 named) and position, renumbered oldest-first since the site displays newest-first.

Validation. 43 replies + OP = 44 rows, matching the site's counter; every row satisfies reactions_total == up + down and net_score == up − down; no duplicate IDs; CSV round-trips back to 44 rows despite multi-line bodies.

Three things worth knowing:

No year in the source. Dates are verbatim strings (May 31 … June 7), not typed dates — I didn't guess a year. Sort by position for chronological order.
Views differ between your two inputs: text says 528949, screenshot says 528950. I used the text value; it's a live counter.
One dangling reference: post @jg opens with @hjn, and no post hjn exists in the thread. Stored verbatim rather than silently corrected to hj — say the word if you'd rather it be normalized.
Post bodies are stored exactly as published, including the site's censor-masking (sh!t, mo--ns).

now create a markdown file that will help me archive the main thread and all reply data. do not use ** to bold. bullets are ok. hashtags are not

Checked for hash characters in post bodies
No # anywhere in the post bodies, so the only hashtags would be the AutoTags — I'll render those as plain words. Generating the archive from the CSVs so it stays consistent with the data:

Ran 3 commands
Sent
Full thread archive — OP, all 43 replies, reply tree, and index. No bold markers, no hashtags.

md
thread-archive.md

27kB

Created thread-archive.md (584 lines) inside the dump folder. Generated from the CSVs rather than retyped, so it can't drift from the data.

Seven sections:

Archive header — source, thread ID, capture date, post count, activity window, companion files
Thread record — title, board, author, views, reactions, reply count, AutoTags
Original post — full text, blockquoted
Archive summary — 772 total reactions (+544/−228), replies per day, top upvoted and downvoted posts, most replied-to posts
Conversation structure — indented reply tree reconstructed from the @ mentions, deepest chain running c2 → c3 → cy → d7 → ra → xm across five days
Reply index — table of all 43 replies with ID, date, author, parent, vote split
Full reply text — every reply oldest-first, each with its metadata bullets and verbatim body
Archival notes — the year gap, the view-count drift, the dangling hjn reference, what was excluded
On your two formatting rules: no ** anywhere, and no # character at all — verified by assertion before the file was written. Headings use setext underlines (=== and ---), which are real markdown headings that render as H1/H2 without hash marks, so you keep document structure and a working outline in any viewer. The five AutoTags are written as plain words (RTO, ReturnToOffice, Forum, ELT, Quitting) since their normal form would have introduced hashtags; there's a parenthetical noting that. The post bodies happened to contain no # at all, so nothing in the quoted text needed altering.

Two small things I decided rather than asked:

Replies run oldest-first, opposite the site's display order, so the conversation reads forward. Position numbers match the position column in posts.csv, so both files cross-reference cleanly.
Post jg is shown at the bottom of the tree as a separate root, annotated as replying to hjn, which doesn't exist in the thread — rather than quietly attaching it to hj.

Plan is to start lowering expectations. New and future employees will mind the lower stip less than old timers — who they hope will leave. Totally not fair but probably their thinking. Don’t be surprised if in the future the stip and comp is different for the types they need to poach from Silicon Valley. They have no reason to retain marketing finance ops legal and content folks they can find anywhere since the studio world is shrinking. I don’t wish this on us but it seems to be where it’s all going

Although I get those who condemn some of us for complaining about the STIP, It was negotiated as part of our pay structure. The last year was a sh-t show with layoffs and restructuring. The least the Company could do is give 100%. Just another reason to look elsewhere. The rest of this year is going to be another disaster with imminent consolidation and layoffs coming. The time is now to get out with a job in hand.

Not to be a party po---r but based on the job market and knowing co-workers that were laid off previously that still have not found gigs, I would say, this is better than nothing.
Yes, it su-ks that we feel short changed but bonus is a bonus (meaning not guaranteed) and given the market, I would be grateful that we still have a bonus.

Jesus Christ. This company hit or exceeded all of the metrics old Paramount set for the STIP calculations and they still short us? It could be worse but also could be so much better. You would think they would set a higher % so they could get bigger bonuses too

Honestly, with yesterday‘s news, I expected it to be lower. It’s probably a good thing all of that broke after the multiplier was already decided.. With $2.8 billion going to Netflix for the break up fee, I don’t even wanna guess what next year’s STIP will look like. They will probably do away with the program altogether and just tell us to be lucky we have a job at all. Our real bonus is all that great in person collaboration we’re getting by being back in the office. F*k this sht.

This is a joke. 94% is pathetic and everyone knows it.
Leadership can keep saying “we’re winning” but it’s just noise.
We paid Netflix as part of the WBD deal because they lost. We can write cheques like that, but we cannot pay our own people properly. That tells you everything
Stop spinning. Stop gaslighting. Pay people properly or stop acting surprised when morale is in the gutter

Second thread, different company and 48 replies across two pages. Building it the same way:

Built Paramount thread CSVs
49 rows, 40 + 8 across the two source pages, all vote math reconciles, no dangling references this time. Now the archive file — I generalized the generator so it reads whichever dump folder it's pointed at:

Ran 3 commands
Now the README for this dump:

Ran 2 commands
Sent
Paramount Global STIP thread — OP, all 48 replies across both source pages, reply tree, and index.

md
thread-archive.md

29.3kB

Done — tlo-dump-2026-09-10/ with the same four files: thread.csv, posts.csv, autotags.csv, README.md, plus thread-archive.md (689 lines).

One thing to flag: I put this in a new folder rather than the 09-09 one. The clock rolled past midnight mid-session, the CSVs inside are single-thread by name (thread.csv, posts.csv) so they'd have collided, and captured_on genuinely differs. Say the word if you'd rather have one folder per batch and I'll restructure both into thread-named subfolders.

Validation: 48 replies + OP = 49 rows matching the site counter; page split reconciles at 40 + 8; every reaction split satisfies total == up + down; every reply_to_ref resolves to a real post — no dangling reference this time.

This source carried metadata the Edward Jones one didn't, so five columns were added rather than discarded:

source_page — the replies came from two paginated pages. Both captured, merged into one chronological sequence, origin page kept in the data and in the index table.
post_url, thread_url, op_post_url, company_slug — permalinks following the /p/@id+thread pattern the site uses in its own mention links. Derived for all posts, noted as such in the README.
Two judgment calls worth knowing:

Posts @ec and @a5 open with @OP, so reply_to_ref is OP and they attach directly to the original post in the tree. They still count as top level, since they answer no reply.
The +N vote badges appear beside page 1 replies but not page 2 in your paste. They're redundant with net_score, which is computed for all 49 posts.
The formatting rules hold: zero ** and zero # characters in the archive, asserted before write. The one AutoTag on this thread is rendered as the plain word Company, and headings again use setext underlines. The generator now reads whichever dump folder it's pointed at, so a third thread is quick.

Content-wise the thread splits cleanly into a compensation grievance about the 94% STIP multiplier against the Netflix breakup fee, and a running fight over whether complaining is warranted — c0 drew 5 direct replies at net −26, b9 and bx similar, while the sharpest rebuttals (fa at +31, bb at +26) sit at the top of the vote range.

Dog sh-t. What an embarrassing place to work. Don’t worry as leadersh

I actually miss working at AT&T

I spent the best part of 20 years working for AT&T. Started before SBC bought it. Throughout that time I worked with some amazingly talented people. It's sad to see it's decline. It's global presence in network was stripped to the bone. I keep seeing LinkedIn posts from people trying to promote what is now once again a US centric dead duck.

To my former colleagues, I wish you well. It still amazes me how sh1t managers survive, who call themselves leaders when everything else says the opposite.

I've seen really good, technically super savvy people get pushed out in favour of continual cost savings on an ever declining customer base.

AT&T really need to get back into what they do well and kick everything else into the long grass.

I miss the people and talent. I don't miss the nonsense.

No regrets on this side

I walked away from Verizon two years ago. The internal dynamics were exhausting, and I couldn't see a path to grow there. From what I read today, those same patterns are still around. My own career took off in a much better direction after I left, so I have no second thoughts.
