Stankey loves to fall on the sword, it's easy with other peoples
Money, time, and livelihoods. If he dropped dead due to a heart attack the share price would race towards $20. Don't chastise the post as his maniacal behavior and decisions have ultimately cost employees lives over the years.
Management Tears
Anybody else come here daily to collect management RTO tears to enjoy later? I thought you all were company men and women? You sure toed the line like you were until now.
Be on the lookout for Narcs and planted Mo--s

John Stankey and Good Strategy are an oxymoron
How does Stankey and The Current CFO still have their positions. How do you not have a handle on your operations to the point where you miss a quarterly cash flow projection by $2B?
Relocation and RTO
Given Stankey’s track record on major initiatives Relocation and RTO will be disasters.
Minnesofuct
How's it working out for y'all up there in Minneapolis?
ATL hub location
Simple question- why is Atlanta chosen as one of the two main hub locations? Looking for a serious explanation if someone has it.

Wrongful Termination/Constructive dismissal
You have protected human rights.
AT&T relocation allowance
If AT&T doesn’t offer a substantial relocation package, don’t quit. Take a plane & move into the building they demanded you to report to. If they ask you to leave then sleep in the parking lot. I’m sure the company will fire you but wow headlines... — read more
