Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

In the end, The SBC Bull Headed Culture Won

Out internally resulting in the demise of ATT. Anyone still around that remembers the SBC Wireless Folks and their arrogant stupidity when they came together with Bellsouth and then ATT Wireless? That's where Stankey and Randall came from. Bulldozers with Blinders who don't see cliffs or check for sinkholes.

Not just the coffee. When the takeover first happened , they literally took the water coolers out of our offices. Can’t make this stuff up. We were told the water delivery was too expensive for little ole Ma Bell. I guess they needed to save up to buy t-Mobile (oops!) , time warner and directv.

"BellSouth was a family before the takeover."

What could have been with BS's leadership instead of the BS leadership we have today.

Yup sure do. Arrogance and stupidity combined made the SBC takeover of anything doomed to become a dumpster fire.
