I wonder if anyone was able to actually see the numbers of people who were conned into signing up for DirecTV with the impending doom of "deals ending soon" or this is "too good to pass up" along with the super high pressure tactics AT&T has forced RSC's to use in order to secure a new DTV account creation. Also, I am super curious about how many ACTUAL DTV Now accounts are actually out there. I know they pushed so hard for us to get DirecTV Now accounts when I worked there. We were told that management would approve free accessories, credits to offset deposits, etc. And when that didn't work salespeople were creating so many fake trial accounts it wasn't even funny. I mean, they would pay $10 for a 30 day trial and then AT&T would pay a $25 spiff to the salesperson for selling it. So, I'm sorry, I find it hard to believe that there are actually 1.5 million accounts. I think it is bull hockey. And I think it's a shame how many people have been fired for not playing AT&T's wicked game. All those RSC's that have been fired for their numbers aren't reported to the government because they were fired instead of laid off. Sneaky, dirty tactics of a really sad company. IMHO.

I know this is a layoff site, and typically things like are not layoff related. However, with the annual layoffs that often (not always) have a lot to do with who performs, this sort of topic is completely relevant. What I don’t understand is why people Post it on sites like this and not just report it?
the worst manager and most deceitful its a guy name john darden from the inx team in duluth plus he's doing fraud idk how he still have a job
Back when prepaids mattered, accounts were created so we would get paid because we met the qualifier. It wasn’t uncommon that multiple accounts were created so people hit their target and got the multiplayer.
It's sad. COR guys are whooping it up when they take advantage of someone like banging them for both a DTV and DTV Now. The slimy ones get promoted, the ones with a conscience quit or get fired. The shareholders just see growth and buy more shares. They're basing their investment on fake numbers. Eventually it will come crumbling down. What's the amount of usage on those DTV Now accounts? They probably don't keep track of it due to it having a zero data rating. Which is convenient. AT&T will be the new Wells Fargo.
We have customers that leave with both satallite and directv now lmao...
It’s that or we get written up, I’ll take the slam dunk.
AT&T created Bait & switch
It’s called marketing.
