Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Send them to IBM. Thats where all good innovations go to die.

I was wondering how they were going to screw up their steamimg business and future of the company.

t will marginalize everyone at TW (just like att) and all the creative people who care about their work will leave. just like what happened at att.

this quote is a damming one for ATT not that they will care. Stankey replied that there were no women on his team because there is “no bench strength” at WarnerMedia, this person said. The “dismissive answer” did not take into account top execs, including Bernadette Aulestia, the global distribution chief; Eve Konstan, the general counsel; and Marisa Famulare, the chief financial officer, the source said. It also didn’t account for Turner ad sales veteran Donna Speciale, who left the company earlier this month — and who was “frustrated” by the male-dominated culture there, sources told The Post." I chuckle when they talk about diversity etc. Most time when people say that they are only saying it for public consumption. there are some token minorities and women in some areas but for the most part these companies dont give a rats ... about so called diversity and the diversity they push is more about s-x and skin color/ethincity not thought if reports by the "insiders" are true about how stinky responded to questions. "Vu vill do as I say, I am in charge" who the >>> does he think he is? a company executive? lol, we all know companies are dictatorships while you are employed. Notice the results of ATT 's last employee survey have not been made public? as a contingency employee though, the strike in SE is a lousy idea. the company will win, everyone else include the customers who will flee, will loose. get real CWA members, your power to hurt the company is declining and you will only end up hurting the people who depend on your pay and the customers.

“He doesn’t understand that the value of HBO is linked to its people,” a former employee noted, citing an internal meeting in March in which the exec offended the division’s women staffers.

That right there is why all divisions are failing. They buy companies and gut them and expect things to just magically run fine with less employees, employees that don't care anymore because they know more layoffs are coming and cheap outsourced contractors that have no skin in the game.

If past is prologue, Stankey and his team will just tinker for a while, and then outsource the whole thing to India. Maybe some talent from Bollywood can right the ship.
