Worthless position.... all we ever do is see R’s going to Starbucks in long lunches never see them do a damn thing....ATO = another turd out of here

ATO development coaches (formerly MSOC coaches) are by far the most unnecessary position in the company. They are essentially secretaries to the Area managers. I was very good friends with one.

We had one guy show up at our yard about 2 years ago claiming to be such an animal. All he did was eat his own doughnuts and promise to get RSN and AnyConnect on our phones.
