Don't just sit there upset and whining over AT&T and that idiot Randall. Hit them where it hurts...the money. Call or write your local and state representatives and express your misgivings with this monopolistic raw deal. Just imagine Randy's smug face if it falls through. Priceless!

Son, one more thing, you are crossing a line with that comment on the Beatles.
You boys calm down. Yes, people are selfish and maybe our generation exceptionally so but remember that the baby boomer generation came of age when the standard of living was higher. We had fewer gadgets but many working people earned enough to support families. Not today, too much goes to Randy and his buddies, a sad time for working families and the country.
Son, remember that someday you will get old and the next generation will be biting at your heels.
Honey, take it easy on the boy, he rightfully feels like his generation is getting the short end of the stick.
We are all in this together, at least the 98% who are honest and work for a living.
Love,
Mom
Hi Dad,
Thanks for providing more evidence that you and your generation are indeed spoiled rotten narcissists. We'll all be better off when you're all gone which will be soon. Lucky us!
Thanks,
Your Son
P.S. The Beatles really s---.
Hi Son,
Yes, you will get nothing of the substantial inheritance as I'm spending all my $$. Earn it like I did. Deal with it.
Signed,
Your Dad
And from what experience do you speak. Do you understand that although fiber and wireless services have replaced majority of the network the same lines that used to facilitate pots services currently facilitate the Internet services at peoples homes. In most cases the last mile or two of most AT&T's Internet circuits use the same copper lines that used to service the Dial-tone.
Look a lot of this is stupid, no one has landlines anymore, no phone book, yellow pages, charges for long distance, pay phones, etc it is a new world so ATT has to change sorry !
Take a landline from a boomer and watch them cry. Sorry don't do that most of them need it for their life alert systems. "I've fallen and I can't get up."
Take a cell phone way from a millennial & watch them cry 😢
Be careful, he may grab his jitterbug and call fellow boomer Randall to report such disrespect.
Funny can you even go a day without you cell phone or internet....Pathetic
You old timer boomers are sure easy to trigger. In between yelling at kids to get off your lawn and responding to blogs in uppercase when do have time to take a nap?
Hi Lazy son,
get off your phone and get a job and your own place!....good God your 30years old. Stop playing video games long enough to make something of yourself and your generation of slackers.....
Hi Dad,
Yes, you baby boomers are the worst generation bar none. Deal with it.
Signed,
Your Son
Sincerely to the person that has retired why are you even on this forum? If you have no stake or claim in the company why are you even on this website commenting? If it has nothing to do with you it would be greatly appreciated if you would mind your own business. I suggest you to start crocheting, go to Old country buffet , bingo or whatever it is that aged individuals find enjoyable today while basking in the glow of their retirement. Do something more constructive with your time other than interjecting yourself into a conversation about a company that you yourself have claimed you have no personal stake or ties in.
Stop the merger fired greedy sh--bag randy
Don’t be mad at the retired man.... he earned his way many times over than you ever will!!
To the retired people commenting, please stay on topic , I doubt anyone care about your days fixing Pots lines, splicing and coffee shop BS. AND considered yourself lucky you were able to retire, times have change just in case you have not noticed
Bye bye Kool Aid boy....
I feel so bad about my success I'll end it all by jumping off my investment statement.
It's little wonder some of you folks have difficulties in your careers.
Hate and name calling don't pay the bills.
I do wish you all good luck.
I'm surprised the boomer response was not hammered out in all caps.
"The lady doth protest too much, methinks"
Just another lazy millennial..... posting stuff from your parents house because you’re too lazy to work!
"And no detriment to me, as I cashed out" "And don't think they don't know who you are"
Boomers are the worst generation bar none.
Randy has the business acumen and technical vision of my neighbors chicken.
Can you read? I took the cash out (lump Doehave no financial ties to T except my health insurance.
Riding the copper train till it derails or offer me a 100k plus buyout and I’m gone!! We old timers can still work you millennials under the table!!
Omg previous comment right on target, entitled union members unaware the Randy could get his hands in the pension fund?, this is sooooo funny, you never know, it may happen just like with United Airlines
How will you feel when Randy cuts your pension, to pay for this boondoggle.
My view is that TW is overpriced. I wish AT&T was buying a next generation business. People don't want bundled television with a hundred stations. They want ala-carte with about 20 stations. I don't see traditional business thriving with that consumer mindset.
I doubt anyone will notice anything when TW deal closes, except corporate functions. Normal flushes will continue until further notice,,,,,sometime after 2015.......
You seem jealous. I knew who wrote the checks. The better they did, the better I did.
I have no need to go back after my lump sum pension (markets are doing well), 401K (markets are doing well), paid off 2400 sq. ft. house, 2 new '17 vehicles and a cabin on 80 acres. And no desire or need to work at 56.
Run 'em out of business!!!!
But ask yourself...would you hire you with that attitude?
And no, i was never in management, but an outside tech.
Good luck!!!
Previous comment denotes the dinosaur thinking that reigns in this company, glad you are out, and many other like you need to go, this company needs fresh ideas. AND PLEASE DO EVERYONE A FAVOR AND STAY RETIRED 🤣
You people are out of touch. Wishing the folks who sign your check ill will may be a self fulfilling prophecy.
I worked for 37 years, and often didn't like corporate decisions. But the checks cleared and I was able to retire. Wishing for the company to fail in an endeavor or hoping for their demise is of no benefit to you. And no detriment to me, as I cashed out.
And don't think they don't know who you are.
Wise up.
The merger is not a good deal as it is a chasing the money ideology. ATT wants to control much as they can because they cannot get revenue any other way. It is a good idea to stop this as if they do acquire tw, They will try to become a monopoly yet again and will not be in the best interest of the employees but rather, the executives and the shareholders. If they get this control, they will be able to control what to charges customers and myself being in mobility, the market is at a saturation point. they need to become innovative.
Randy, the board, current leadership and on down the line can’t manage the current business much less adding TW. I have a great idea for all of them. Read the employee surveys, a good sampling not purged by HR. AT&Ts AVP and Director level are a complete joke. Won’t comment on above AVP because I don’t have enough interaction to make a fair assessment, but will guess it’s a culture all the way up. Until you understand the poor morale and fix it, it won’t mater what companies you buy. Your customers are leaving and when you talk about finances , what a joke. The waste is astonishing! Wake up and make a difference from the top of the hierarchy or continue the downward spiral.
How someone can be productive worung here, for the last 10 years gross mismanagement, negligence incompetence is rampart here, People should worry about doing their jobs , Not losing their jobs everyday, and to be treated with respect, something that was lost long ago, if merger is approved more people will lose their jobs for the combined count, I do not see how that would benefit the worker
is it better for employees if the deal goes through or not ? some yes and some no. we need answers
The TW deal is bad news for consumers.
What is the impact on the company workers if it does not go through?
Just speculating, say the deal falls through, Randy takes the gold parachute and they put Stankey in charge or bring someone else in? At this point does this shell of a company just fall apart faster than it would if the TW deal went through? Randy has managed this company in to a pretty deep hole.
Not a bad idea.
