If YOU could leave with say... a lousy million bucks, wouldn't you?
Looser? What is a looser? SMH.
Looser De la Vega is finally out, 2 stooges more to go
I think Stankey is the golden boy, I expect he will be tapped as CEO when Randy slithers out the door with his pockets full.
Kicked in the A-- by Stankey, had no choice but bitter retirement
Yes they always call it a retirement when they are told to leave.
do you really think the "next" person - Kelly King - is going to be any better? He cares only about numbers that make him look good - nothing else
Ralph is (force) retiring because of his age - if he were allowed to continue, he would. His retirement has nothing to do with anything else!
65 years old & 42 years service, add it up = time to go.
Randy is next.
Thank God. de la Vega was awful to work under. He was a big reason why AT&T got rid of so many programmers.
Ralph is retiring because he's frustrated with where the company is headed. He sees his shady boss star struck and focused on content and less on connectivity. Taking his golden parachute. I'm jealous.

I was surprised when the announcement came out and too was skeptical why he is retiring at a rather odd time with all that is happening. He said he wouldn't be with us through the merger but will be watching closely. Hmmmmm...
Thank GOD, this genious was behinfd Bellsouth adquisition - Cingular wireless, and the failed T mobile deal
He is 65 after all and has probably risen as high as he will go in T. Why not take the golden parachute and enjoy your millions? He probably gets great healthcare for life as a perk of upper management.
