Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Acknowledging a broken system and fixing it are two different things

AT&T is trying to compete in Silicon Valley it’s Time they start offering their employees the benefits that other tech companies enjoy.

The problem with T is that they get rid of their qualified workers and they end up going to our competitors. Not smart! If T wants to continue to be competitive we need to recognize and retain those who make positive impacts on the business and get rid of those who don’t.

Technology is always going to displace workers. If you’ve invested time and money in to reskilling yourself for the future T should recognize that and retain you. But we know this doesn’t happen.

The problem is management changes too much to worry about building relationships. In my last position I built valuable relationships to the business then I was part of a reorganization and no longer have those relationships.

I could go on and on about what’s broken in this company but the company is the titanic. It’s headed toward an iceberg and if Randy remains our captain we’re doomed.

Perfectly stated by @QNmrHC8-zms.

I think that AT&T competing in silicon valley is a false premise. They don't manufacture hardware or software. They are a communications company, with mature or declining businesses. Landline is in decline, TV is static (with some cord cutting), wireless is static and internet is slow growth because of construction requirements.

The "growth" if any is in internet and wireless with things like smart meters. The traffic report on my Garmin is coming from wireless. Wireless will become interesting with 5G rolling out. I can see wireless internet offerings competing with wired internet.

With landline telephone slated to terminate in 2020, there is certainly going to be layoffs in that area. And there is going to be layoffs with automation and technological innovations.

If you pay me twice as much I’ll gladly leave my pension behind.
