again
AT&T will be a case study for years to come
in business schools all over the country on how not to manage a telecom company as well as screwing their employees that signed up expecting certain benefits only to realize that years later will have the rug pulled out from under them. Such a... — read more
Do not ever expect a bonus again
Keep that in mind as you are job searching.
Shut up already!
Seriously
AT&T vs T-Mobile
T-Mobile is running circles around AT&T. It’s already $50 Billon ahead of AT&T in market cap. Stankey is prepping to company for sale so he can get his change in control bonus!!
Who knew what when?
Does anyone know what levels were pre-notified before the Stankey e-mail? Notification only at the corporate VP level or even higher than that? Personally, I don't believe anyone at the AVP level or lower knew about this. It seems it was a complete... — read more
Terrible management
Of all the companies I've worked for, there are none that I can say have worse management than here. How does all this continue to function with such bad management?
Notifications & Relocation Assistance
Have any L2/L3 been notified regarding their assigned location? Have any of those that have been notified been offered relocation $$$? Is so, which package? Personally, I think if no assistance that means they do not what you.
This RTO will only hurt productivity
The RTO plan from Stankey was poorly thought out. He has failed over and over at his jobs in AT&T. He learned nothing from his business classes at UCLA and is plain stupid thinking that intimidation gets results. DTV, TWX and T-Mobile were all... — read more
One more time about Severance.
Keeping it simple. On the CTX Town Hall this morning, a question was asked: "For those who are affected and can't move, will a severance be offered?" And the answer from the leadership was a simple: "Yes" (On a similar note, an answer to... — read more
Too Big to Fail Part Deux
Government will bail AT&T out. They are depending on it. They are just lining things up for when they come out the other side. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
inept leadership of randall stephenson and now Stankey
Thanks to the inept leadership of randall stephenson and now Stankey, AT&T pi---d away $5 billion on a failed merger attempt with T-mo, $49 billion on a failed direct TV acquisition, $85 billion on a failed acquisition of Time Warner.. but sure, the... — read more
This will cost T good managers
I don't expect many good managers to let themselves be played with this way. They'll leave and we'll be stuck with even more incompetent narcissists who have been instrumental in eroding the culture at T. I'm not looking forward to what's about to... — read more
AT&T leadership is corrupt and failed
Let’s state the obvious. AT&T leadership is rotten to the core. Their decision making was deeply flawed and resulting in enormous dead which has dragged the company into the gutter. Layoffs are the direct result of failed leadership. This upcoming... — read more
new C suite goal: bankrupacy
52 week stock low $14.46. Goal: drive stock to a new low, $12. I bet T will reach that goal. Would not an upper management change be a better goal? Any 401k match in T stock just lost 30%. I hope those eligible (over 55?) transferred their match... — read more
Slash and Burn. Take the Forrest to the ground and see what
Is left. No relocation, no severance, nothing. The employees are the barbarian hoard while Executives sit perched up high above the fray worries about their options. End game is ATT is chopped up and sold piece part out. Stankey will claim victory... — read more

The Arrogance of Executives and "We are ATT"
Is why you see their clocks and balance sheet getting cleaned. The culture shuts up positive dissent and creates a mindset of give your superiors what they want and not what they need. How Stankey is still at the head of this thing will be a business... — read more
Stankey Comments
Stankey is completely oblivious to the damage he and Randall have caused to the company. After his stumble comments today the Board should fire him. Apparently his ego is so big he feels he can say I screwed up, and there is nothing you can do... — read more
CEO gets an 18% raise for losing money and employees
For anyone still living in delusion and thinking they matter to the company- you don't. You're a number, a cost, a line item, and that's it. Don't relocate, because you'll be fired too next year, or the year after, stranded in a strange city with no... — read more

Work distribution
There has never been such a big gap between those who are really overworked and those who work just a few hours a day. Almost every day I ask myself how it is possible that the distribution of work has become such that some people are so... — read more

Heavy handed RTO

TMobile market cap 169.22B, AT&T 115.89B
