The company is not looking for new ideas. They want yes men and women who step in line and say yes sir.
The problem isn't a lack of talent, and it isn't that long-tenured employees are holding us back. The problem is that this company has had and still has CEOs and a board that are milking its capital, not to mention the acquisition bonuses tied to billion-dollar transactions. For the past decade, the cycle has been to bleed the company and then blame the lower rungs of the organization. And that cycle will continue. Meanwhile, all our investment in the future will now go toward servicing our debt, misspending money on this massive building in Texas, and funding so many redundant and unnecessary positions. We urgently need to change how we do business, because the capital that should have propelled us forward has left us struggling behind smaller companies. Look at the unintended consequences of not replacing copper with fiber 20 years ago: now the copper is being stolen, creating a financial fiasco through lost customers and the cost of replacing legacy cables. The only way forward is competence at the highest level and a genuine love for the company.
2027 will be the year of reckoning for most companies including ours.
Yes for sure, if you are on the payroll, you are targeted for cost reduction as you are merely a number which needs to be reduced to zero or as close to zero as possible.
@aw You’re completely right, but the folks on this forum are sensitive around tenure and age. The emotional upset blocks the message.
@an I’m in my mid-thirties and never said a word about age. I’m clearly speaking on what new ideas are brought to the table from someone that has been at the same job for a long period of time. Usually, these are the employees that find difficulty when a company has to make radical change.
“ The long term employees need to come to reality and realize they aren’t really bringing new ideas and skills to the table to quickly move the company forward“
Explain yourself, whippersnapper.
You literally aren’t saying anything.
PS. I’m hanging around with my stale ideas until they pay me to leave. I won’t quit. Mostly because it seems to bother you.
@ac too funny. But in reality— T has a culture issue and they know it.
The issue is that there are way too many employees that have been around for way too long. I see it as someone who has only been at T for little over a year. The long term employees need to come to reality and realize they aren’t really bringing new ideas and skills to the table to quickly move the company forward. It’s all about complaining and not wanting to realize they are the problem. It’s kind of like the old leadership in our Congress and Senate.
@a2 WTF why try and troll the board with this nonsense -feeling salty about the blue wave and can't control yourself and the need to lash out and hurt someone. You're broken.
Yes. Layoffs for the next three years until they hit their magic head count number.
@OP you mean on January 2027
