Any recommendations to those who have been in the company for 1-2 years?

Any news on when call centers will be surplused?

M&A's that occurred during a decade. There is far too much debt and still a company, brand, and captain that are toxic. The Telco SBC Boys always thought they were the smartest in the room. The most dangerous leaders are those who don't know what... — read more 

I don't think the management has much interest in raising morale here, but I still wonder if it would be possible to do something about it and how, considering how much the company has degenerated?

Beyond RTO badge swipes, what I've seen is a company culture revolving around being #1 on a scorecard, not on results that help the business. There's been too many hyper focus items (beyond the disastrous acquisitions) that just don't really make... — read more 

Of the banks and Wall St. This is why layoffs were delayed for some. Next quarter will have layoffs, only we will meet 3rd quarter expectations. This will continue for the next year at least.

Those that have been coddled for too long and don’t want to go back to work.

Does anyone have any experience directly or knows someone who left AT&T? Did they give 2 week’s notice? I know that I don’t have to but am wondering if there are any cons. I think the worst AT&T could do is say that I can’t be rehired. — read more 

What does this stand for and mean?
