The 'regret' he expressed is about as sincere as the "I work too hard" response given by someone during a job interview when they're asked "What is your biggest weakness?"
His “cultural evolution” that would have ensured him or his lackeys never rose to the ranks they did. If they were applying true “market based” culture, they should have been fired for their snafu’s. The most recent being the divestiture at pennies on the dollar to only see that same business months later have a bidding war offering more than we originally paid.
They should all be walked out the door. But no, they will just whip the workers some more, more layoffs, ki-l the bonus this year, yet they will still get thiers. The irony of this would be laughable if it wasn’t so tragic to those that get impacted.
"has no patience for low output lackeys that someone else mistakenly hired."
If his policies were focused on the low output folks or the lackeys that hired them, then he would be a good leader. However, based on how he implemented his culture change we all know he does not care who gets swept up and out. He sees us all as a burden to his income statement, and that is it. He is a mix of Henry Ford and Jack Welch in his culture building but applied to the wrong industry.
@bk not to those of us who actually do good work. He’s a reasonable business leader that has no patience for low output lackeys that someone else mistakenly hired.
Stankey regrets nothing . . . he thinks he is the smartest man in any room. He is a legend in his own mind! There are few who have as large an ego as him.
The only thing he regrets is not being meaner in his now infamous email. And yes, he is capable of being meaner. What we are hearing and seeing from him is filtered, unfiltered Stank is rotten to the core.
His big regret is not sending this nasty, whiny, egomaniacal rant sooner. Not DIRECTV, not the Warner debacle, not upending thousands of people’s lives so they can sit on Teams calls in one of his big d-mb boxes.
He’s a gem. Very self-reflective.
Maybe he should look at the stock price since he sent the memo. It was just below $28 when he sent it. Now we’re at $24.26. The markets took a look at his “market based culture” and seem to be flushing it down the toilet. Maybe then he would rethink his regrets but I doubt it.
I'm not sorry that I sc--wed you all over in an abrasive and oppositional manner. My only regret is that I wasn't quicker with it.
Stankey will make AT&T great again
Oh cool.
I’m sure an apology is forthcoming.
"The executive explained at the Wall Street Journal CEO Council Summit that his error was waiting too long to send the directive, and he should have prioritised cultural evolution from the start of his tenure as CEO."
