Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Not, the forum. However, to educate you. Obama Treaty with Iran paid Iran $1.7 Billion to play nice and not build nuclear we-pons and not enrich their Uranium supply. The Obama Treaty ended in October 2026. You are correct the Orange Man had tried since October to make a deal but Iran would not budge without decorating their palms and now wanted more than the original $1.7B. Orange Man stubborn as he is had no intention of paying Iran another $1.7B or more as requested to be civil and play nice since Iran was still buying Uranium in large quantities continually during the Obama Treaty as identified by foreign intelligence.

Like the multi-national treaty that existed and was working before a certain d0pe tore it up because his predecessor created it?

@m0 This entire thread is on the wrong forum.

@hy - you’re such a 36%-er, the rest of us know he sh1t$ the bed every other day. It’ll take a while to clean the stains and really make ‘merica great again.

Amazing that he always does the opposite of what he says he’ll do. When he accuses someone of wrongdoings, take an objective view of what he does/did.

@hy wrong forum sir!

@hx
Should have bombed them as soon as they reached 5% enrichment as the only purpose beyond 3% is to we-ponize it.

Bonus question - between 2009 and 2016, how many American soldiers were ki-led as a result of Iranian actions?

Double bonus question - how much money did the US send Iran just before inauguration day in 2016?

"Note, Iran had achieved 20% enrichment levels in 2015."

Who was President 2016-2020?

I'd encourage all of you to at least take a look at using a Brokerage Link Option with your 401K as opposed to Edelman Financial Engines

This is a good idea. Unfortunately they do severely limit how much of our 401K can be transferred to Brokerage link.

Also expecting lazy financially illerate AT&T employees to suddenly self manage their accounts is like peeing in the wind. I don't know how many times I've seen people say "Hire a financial advisor." on this and other at&t retiree groups.

@ck I'd encourage all of you to at least take a look at using a Brokerage Link Option with your 401K as opposed to Edelman Financial Engines

@gd

Why did/does Iran have 60% enriched uranium when you only need 3% enriched uranium for power generation?

Note, Iran had achieved 20% enrichment levels in 2015.

"Do anything and everything to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear we-pon please."

Like the multi-national treaty that existed and was working before a certain d0pe tore it up because his predecessor created it?

@d6 - anything? Really, anything??

Ok, maybe.

@d4 - the point is caring about others. Apparently a rare concept in your circle 😢

Go away.

@cm - WTF???

Do anything and everything to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear we-pon please.

@c3 My 401K with Fidelity has been there for 42 years. No one has touched it but me.

I am all good. What is your point?

@c9 if only Megan Thee Stallion could shake her a$$ and make the world a better place, you'd have a point

you’re looking at a bleak future if you leave everything in your 401(k).

Or you can diversify and not be so tech heavy if you believe an AI bubble is coming. There are great defensive ETFs out there: VDC, VHT, and even SCHD come to mind for IRAs.

In our limited selection 401K rebalance some of your portfolio into the stable value fund or bond fund to buy the dip when t comes.

@c1 - so you don’t think economic related info is related to layoffs, huh??

@c4 - and you’re sooooo open minded????

@ad - deflection!! you don’t think this stuff will impact AT&T? That post was more pertinent to AT&T than over 75% of posts here.

Somebody’s gonna come calling for their investment in all this AI build out and when that comes due, that’s when you’re gonna see a market correction. If you’re old enough like I was when the dot.com bubble burst everyone’s 401 took a big hit and it took 13 years for it to get back to even so if you are close to retirement, you’re looking at a bleak future if you leave everything in your 401(k).

"Would be awesome if I’m wrong"

I don't believe you would ever change your opinion. Not even for a second.

401ks retirement will be a mirage.

How are your 401K savings a mirage? They're held by Fidelity and are legally YOURS. The company can't legally touch your 401K.

Layoffs coming soon. The pennies on the dollar made on the Mexico unit sale make in plain to see what a financial mess this company is in. Market manipulation and stock buybacks are keeping this company afloat. Inflation, debt, collapsing consumer buying power, rising interest rates, war and loss of the petro dollar are going to wreck this company. Chickens coming home to roost, 401ks retirement will be a mirage.

Post about inflation on Layoff.com. What's next, posts about NFL betting odds?

This too shall pass.

Other than wages my money has kept up with inflation.

I only keep 3 months of savings in my local CU. The rest of my taxable funds are kept in a brokerage account: 6 months in a money market fund, 1 years in SGOV, a 5 year US Treasury ladder, and the rest is invested in broad based market ETFs.

Retirement funds are 60% Total US ETF, 20% Total International ETF, 20% Total US Bonds. The recent market dip was an opportunity to rotate out of some bonds to buy the dip.

Social Security is going up 4% in January and market is doing okay. The fuel cost is a
not good but need to drill more here.

That's some riveting at&t layoff news!
