The more employees you surplus, the more lines you lose, I know employees who have 10+ lines they move to other providers when surplussed, I'm moving six to Google Fi as we speak. Watches and tablets are free over there.
Each surplus = net gains for competitors
One month does not a quarter make. Look at the new aggressive promos out there that started last month and you will see there is no way we fall short when the quarter closes ,for net adds at least.
The last two comments are quality posts. Not that half baked jibber jabber bafoonery that’s filling these thread’s lately
T has the footprint to make decent revenue and you dont have to be a marketing genius to figure it out, its all about pricing power. But T loves fat profits, not realizing the cellular (which is the biggest part) is a commodity in the US.
Making your entire workforce transform from your best salespeople into your biggest detractors due to their terrible treatment has consequences. Who knew? One disgruntled employee can get 10 people to steer clear of the company's products. How many can 100,000 disgruntled employees run off?
“ Remember, Stankey has never grown revenue.”
Preach! High quality post.
Because the internet is just a fad. It's going to come crashing down soon.
Net adds are likely to continue to tumble. I've seen a number of posts on social media indicating that the new initiative for compensating customers for downtime is insulting. One person was down for a three days and received a $10 credit. They were pi---d. Other posts are indicating the same insulting credits. It's making customers happy and they are letting others know. I have three family members who left AT&T and went to TMobile; and they were devoted ATT customers for years.
I moved all of my stuff out of T right on time.
that plus he pi---d over 100k employees+, I am sure those employees cut services, told their friends and families.
You mean no one appreciates our pennies on the dollar guarantee, or the credits for cr-ppy tzotchkes we offer when service goes down?! Wow, I am surprised. How long before we start paying people to use our service?
His entire strategy is basically wrapped around 2 products and positioning them as the premium product, oh, and bundling. Unfortunately, what he is selling is just a commodity and he has not figured out a way for ATT to differentiate itself from the other products, so eventually services will come down to price. No one is buying his ATT is a premium product cr-p, and the bundling opportunity will only last so long. Remember, Stankey has never grown revenue. All he knows how to d is cut expense. And eventually, you cannot cut expenses any further.
Every time he opens his mouth or makes a decision bad things happen here.
Duh. It will be lower net adds from here on out. Nobody is buying our lies anymore. Stankey didn’t give poor guidance, he knew. If he didn’t know that’s even worse.
LONG LIVE TMOBILE!
