Thread regarding AT&T Inc. layoffs

2016 it's time to be lean!

The ISM call types will be the only ones to survive. Sales, Service, Tecnical, and Retention are all being trained as I write this. How do I know? I've been training them alongside inadequate AT&T trainer personnel for substantially less pay. AT&T is using contractors as well for this campaign, some to the tune of $35-40/hour. Wake up, DTV. We will not be brought into the fold. Eventually, they'll "surplus" and severance anyone remaining by 1/1/2016. In the meantime, they are doing all the can to make conditions miserable so that DTV employees will leave. Go online and see how much Dandy Randy STEPHENSON made last year along with his closest minions like Stankey. All about that dollar, folks. It's a business. Mike White hung us out to dry.

Here's an article on the streaming service - http://fortune.com/2016/04/27/att-fullscreen-millennials/

Remember their "ScreenPack"? Yeah, nobody else does either. This new thing is going to be version 2.0 of that. They're so desperate to appeal to millennials, it'd be funny if they weren't laying off people left and right so they can keep setting cash on fire with this garbage.

So let me get those number sink in for a minute,....................................... you spend $ 46 B for a company, keep loosing subscribers in the wire and wireless business, only gain 12% in DTV subscribers,, and that is a good deal? No wonder why Wall street is not in love with AT&T today, ands total silence about the supposed video streaming service.

OP do you happen to have the source for the posted information?

More money??? lol... More hatchet layoffs. More exec compensation. I think a CEO should make a lot of money IF they're providing tremendous value and leadership. Not this snake oil sold to shareholders. Randall is the consummate sales guy. Those days though of the slick showmanship are dying. There are folks like Musk, Zuck and Bezos who've opted for the "1 dollar" salary. It's a different kind of showmanship though. It requires some guts and a lot of talent and managing perception that you've got skin in the game. On the back end they're worth billions as they should be. And these guys perform.

I'd challenge Randall to the 1 dollar salary concept. Put your equity/money where your mouth is. And have exec leadership follow suit with something similar.

I am so frustrated with AT&T. Why not take all these billions of dollars and invest in expanding GigaPower? We have the facilities in place just run the damn fiber! It's expensive maybe but imagine the customers we'd get with 1 gig Internet! Smh.

shares declined 1.42% to 37.55 following the closing bell Tuesday, despite topping analyst forecasts,, going down again, no doubt the stock was overvalued by the wallboys

Say hello to the "Super Rep" a all in one rep in a center who handel's ALL accounts. Mobility, Entertainment and Landline.

AT&T provided little evidence that it's tuned in to Web video, after the acquisition of DirecTV

The Dallas telecommunications giant released first-quarter earnings on Tuesday but stayed mostly MUM on its planned online video service, as this is the classic AT&T pitch, which means that they are not sure what is going on, and that's very reassuring!!!

Last month, AT&T said it will launch three Web video services under its DirecTV brand. AT&T became the largest pay-TV provider in the US with its $49 billion acquisition of DirecTV in July 2015. The new services are expected to roll out later this year, but the company hasn't released many specifics, including minor details like what channels will be available or how much they'll cost.
