While AT&T is cutting hardworking employees, John Stankey’s daughter, Meaghan Stankey, reportedly holds a senior HR role at the company. That is a serious optics problem. HR is supposed to stand for fairness, trust, and accountability. But when the... — read more
John Stankey’s Range Rover
Does anyone know how much John Stankey’s new Range Rover costs? While people are getting cut you can be sure this guy won’t be on the layoff list and will indulge himself in the best luxuries available in Highland Park.
The comments are wrong !
I and everyone I know work so hard and hearing about this place and reading through the comments makes me feel so disheartened that so many of you think this way. I know the truth, and frankly so do you.
The Cost of Ignoring Employees
The most alarming number in the Wall Street Journal’s “Best Companies for the Future” ranking isn’t AT&T’s overall rank of 375. It’s the Talent rank of 390. The WSJ’s methodology specifically looked at hiring, retention, and employee satisfaction... — read more
We need steadier direction
I’ve been here long enough to notice how often the company seems to shift based on the latest trend. Some trends fade fast, while others stick around much longer, and I don’t think we always know which is which. I wish leadership would think further... — read more
Extension after getting a letter
Has anyone got an extension to stay beyond the reporting date at the new location?
Dallas commuter
What is your daily commute look like from home to HQ? What time you start if you have kids in school and how do you manage day to days life?

The Future is in Space
Starlink/SpaceX will be going after every cable and fiber ISP customer as early as this year. AST SpaceMobile which we have like a 2% stake in (Somebody somewhere in AT&T had a brain) will be going after the wireless customers as early as next year... — read more

We are out of cash..!!!!
The calls to stop spending money and the pain continues..... our customers and our network continues to suffer, let's not get into how much the employees are suffering. What is Stinky doing to AT&T...?? We are told to save a dime, but then he... — read more
AT&T to downsize it's mobility network operation and management, and will outsource operation to two companies in India
The deal is underwriting with fine details. The mobility part of the company will be fully managed by two well-known companies from India
New 52-week Low on the Stock
Stink is a genius, RTO is working!!!
Remember the account lockouts a few weeks ago?
At the time it was brushed off as a “mistake”. Looking back, it feels a lot more like someone hit the button before they were supposed to. If I were affected, I’d be paying very close attention to what’s coming next. Get your resume updated and get... — read more
I’ve never seen this many good employees and L3+ leave in such a short period of time
The question isn’t why they’re leaving. The question is… what do they know that you don’t? Morale is collapsing. Talent is walking out the door. People spend more time worrying about where their job might be moved next than how to grow the business... — read more
What's larger: -23% or +76%
Need a bit of math help here - What's larger: -23% or +76%? For example, if one company grew in value about 76% and the other grew negative 23% in value, who grew more? To make it a bit easier, you chose some fixed time fame and let's keep it in the... — read more
How are surpluses going to work?
Fairly new to the company. How do surpluses work and what sort of roles are they targetting
Stank and Co. Continue to drive the dividend rate up . . .
Give them a few more months and the rate will be back to 7% like it was 14 years ago. Of course, the stock price will be 50% lower than it was 14 years ago, but Stank will spin the win and the board will do nothing.
Since Stinkey became CEO on July 1, 2020
AT&T: $29.58 → $22.75 (-23%) T-Mobile: $102.53 → $180.40 (+76%) S&P 500: 3,115.86 → 7,465 (+140%) Nearly six years later, AT&T’s answer to every problem seems to be more RTO, more presence tracking, and more control. Meanwhile, T-Mobile... — read more
Why Would Anyone Choose 5-Day RTO Here?
People will make sacrifices for a company with upside momentum. A company growing fast. A company where employees share in the upside growth. That’s usually how the deal works, you give more, and you get more. Maybe it’s equity. Maybe it’s stock... — read more
Fresh 1-Year Lows
Fresh 1-year lows on the stock. Morale at all time lows. Employee trust at multi-year lows. Yet somehow we’re still talking about badge swipes, presence reports, and where people are sitting. The market is asking for execution. Leadership keeps... — read more
Does anyone know if AT&T plans to update severance terms soon?
Those changes tend to drop out of nowhere but they matter too much to only find out when cuts actually happen.
Gas Prices Up. RTO Gets D-mber.
Gas prices keep climbing, yet we’re still pretending there’s a business case for forcing people to drive to an office five days a week to do work that happens on a laptop. Every increase at the pump is another pay cut for employees. More money... — read more

Can we have just a full month without layoffs? Just one?
6/15 dreaded date
Hearing folks are off payroll 7/1. Right or wrong?
Looking for guidance
I’m being asked to relocate as part of RTO to a location where my current skillset does not have long-term scope in ATT, so I chose to go to HQ that may offer more internal opportunities and some extended family support. Now I’m second-guessing the... — read more

WBD have eaten Stankey's lunch!
Yes, that's right. Stankey & Stephensen paid top dollar to acquire Warner Media, then sell it to Zaslov @ WBD for pennies on the dollar, then WBD is acquired for more than at&t purchase price. You can't make this stuff up, Stankey is the laughing... — read more
RTO woes

It’s 2:30 here at HQ. I’ve met my 40 hour requirement for the week so it’s time to head home. Man I love Summer Fridays!
Stankey, the Board, and C-Team driving the dividend rate up again . . .
Of course, they have to ki-l the stock to get the dividend rate back to the 7% of 2012. However, Stank will claim it is a victory and the useless board will reward him.
