Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

They could save money and improve efficiency by

Simply banning PowerPoint. Why is it that Executives need to view a business through a PowerPoint Lens. Can these fools interpret and process results and figures? PowerPoint enables them to gloss over and hide their massive failures.

Stanley saved us a lot of cash by selling the Missouri tower and leasing it back. We sold it for over $200M. The last buyer paid $4M.

T management doesn't know the meaning of "efficiency!" I could go on and on and on and on about the decisions my supervisor has made or other managers have made that costs this company money unnecessarily that could have been prevented and saved the company money. I have brought this to their attention numerous times, but it seems to always fall on deaf ears. Nobody cares anymore or is it they just never cared because ATT is a bottomless pit of cash!

Well, I guess it’s more efficient than the old school paper chart presentations and reports. Back in the day it took weeks and weeks to put together what we can do in a couple hours now. Which is also why we work more now with fewer people than ever.

Seriously? OP would like to review 14 emails, 3 spreadsheets and 50 pages of dog eared, coffee stained paper instead of a few ppt charts? We should take those stupid chalkboards out of classrooms too. Let the teachers draw outside in the dirt with a stick. Think of the savings on chalk.
