So T-mobile partnered with Starlink recently and Apple partnered with Globalstar for it's emergency sos over satellite, is AT&T going to do anything? Would have been nice partnering with Starlink tbh.

Any “interest in leaving” announcements/offers made recently?
ATT reorganizations and layoffs are never done for
Strategy. They are done for necessity tonhit a number on a spreadsheet with total disregard for the ripple effects. Successful companies have a plan in place that limits disruption and keeps morale high above water. ATT just has fire drills... — read more
Buggywhips
Why doesn't Stankey see value in manufacturing buggywhips? I don't get it, he throws all the companies money away on failed acquisitions, yet fails to see value in buggywhips. Not a lot of upfront investment, I say give it a try, what does T have to... — read more
All those reorgs
Structure and flow of a business need to evolve and change over time. However, even the mention of the word "reorganization" sickens me in this company. Why do reorgs mostly fail here?

This is the annual Forbes list of 50 executives who are likely to lead some of America’s top companies.
At this point with morale in the garbage and the company
In the shape it is in, ATT is simply a low end Bond Issue replacement and a very poor one. Cash Flow issues, dividend at risk, it would be a poorly rated bond.
Fellow Employees in the 95%
Milk this cow until it drops from exhaustion. Don't give them a shred of effort over 30 hours per week. The replacements coming in in the younger age brackets are near useless looking for pats on the back and recognition. At the end of the day ATT is... — read more
Until the culture of ATT changes the rot and decay

How Did T-Mobile Beat AT&T?
Ten years ago, T was trying to buy T-Mobile. Now, T-Mobile has beat T in just about every way. How did this happen? T-Mobile do it? Or did T do it to themselves?

From what I am being told and hearing as rumor ATT Business is going to be reorganized by the end of the month with a lot of level 3's affected. That leads me to think that we are going through a round of consolidation with remaining Directors... — read more
Red flags
Maybe I'm overly anxious, so everything seems like a red flag to me. Are there any subtle signs that very likely indicate that one will be cut?
WFH ACCOMMODATION
Hello. I wanted to know if anyone has applied for a permanent WFH accomodation. If ao, what was the result? I was informed we CAN apply for this accommodation (those that already WFH).
Will there be any craft announcement of layoffs on Thursday, 9/15 like
everyone on this website seems to think? Has anybody heard of anything through the grapevine prior to this announcement if there will in-fact even be one? Those that might be impacted by this want to know so we can get our ducks in a row!
Enjoying it
Still enjoying my Sunday ticket for free after leaving T last Jan (enjoying that too).
1st Day Back in the Office
I had the 1st day back last week. By 9am I had better collaboration and communication than in the previous 2+ years WFH. In office is the only way to go.
Will Stankey
ever hold out the olive branch to T employees?
No, AT&T, you don't have a constitutional right to tip analysts: judge
Engelmayer denied cross-motions for summary judgment by the SEC and AT&T Inc, in a case in which the SEC alleges that AT&T violated Reg FD by reaching out to selected financial analysts in early 2016 to warn that lower-than-expected smartphone sales... — read more
Converted or ported all my lines over to another
Carrier. 5 Lines and I am saving nearly 100 dollars per month. Cricket Wireless Billing is so much simpler, you can't beat it. Their network after a month of usage seems so much faster than ATT. I cannot believe more people don't make the switch as... — read more
What is your favorite Stankey quote?
Partial list of quotes: Too many mouths to feed Headcount rationalization Reposition employees ETC.
First time I don't want survive cuts
I used to be anxious as soon as someone mentioned possible cuts. Now, I sincerely hope that I will be a target, get a package and finally get some relief from this company. I have no doubt that there are many more who would like to get on the list... — read more

Many of us are done with T
People spend half their time during the day applying for jobs instead of working. Not that I'm blaming anybody, I've been doing the same thing. There's a point at which you realize that hard work will get you nowhere and you just give up. Many of us... — read more
If all performance metrics are met
In 3Q, Stankey will host a companywide Townhall. During the Townhall meeting, Stankey will perform for all T employees. Stankey will perform the Hokie Pokie and turn himself around. Mind you, it's if, and only if performance metrics are met.

What was our leadership thinking..
when the company employed all those people who now have almost nothing to do? Employing so many people who will soon become redundant is a miserable fail.
Why do so many employees
View Stankey as some kind of rockstar? What has he done for you lately? What has he ever done besides having run AT&T into a destroyed, worthless company. So many here still want to put him up on a pedistal. Why?

Executives have to hit quarterly targets or else
The stock will fall further into the abyss. Only lever they have or know how to use is layoffs. They are that old stodgy and incompetent.
