I am surprised by how many people think that the company has to cut more people in order to be more competitive and survive. Do you really think that major headcount reductions are the only way to keep the company afloat? What are the arguments?... — read more
I have about $300K in Stocks and $250K in retirement funds
I am gonna mod a van and drift around. Beach Towns, Mountains, Low and Under Radar. With Apps you can get good deals on fast food and just go basic. Sick of the corporate suburbia. ATT Management and Dallas blow chunks. I will still get some tail.
Reorganization
Look for a split in wireline and wireless. The spiral downward can’t continue. Wireline will be set up as its own company and saddled with the debt. Wireless will wind up as a spin-off. Look for thousand of layoffs by year end.
What % of employees do you think are just
Mailing it in doing the absolute bare minimum and collecting checks and benefits? I am in the area of 75% but that could be really low estimate.
There’s a….
new top dog in the U.S. telecom industry. T-Mobile US now has a larger market capitalization than Verizon Communications, AT&T, Comcast, or any other company in the sector. It’s the exclamation point on a steady rise for the once-upstart wireless... — read more
Seeking ATT Surplus information ONLY
Focus people and do not post anything that has to do with anything except insight on ATT layoffs and maybe pension info. Other than that, keep your uninteresting thoughts to yourself.
ATT is in trouble folks
Mass layoffs is a short term lever but the long term problems still exist. The culture does not endorse productivity and growth. It promotes everything that leads to stagnation.

Verizon is raising the dividend, this is the sixteenth consecutive raise in the dividend. Go Verizon!

TMobile Market Cap $178B ATT $120B
Nice going Stankey. Again tell us all about your expertise in every facet of business. Tell uss again how there are too many mouths to fee while you poison the livestock and burn the fields. I hope you drop daed
Sure but for the dividend while the share price
Decline laps the dividends over and over. This is what you call a dog with fleas in market speak. It is over for ATT as they don't have the cash flow or growth to keep all the plates spinning. In 12 short years TMobile once the laughing stock in... — read more
Johns, Pauls, Franks, Betties ...
We see just the same xVP faces shuffling among organizations over 10-15 years. How is that possible the corp still keeps those dummies there? The figures clearly show that those 'leaders' are incompetent.
Your health is worth more than any pay
I know a lot of folks who are staying at T because they can't find a job that pays as well. I understand that settling for lower pay is not easy, but people need to realize that physical and mental health is more important than any salary. I know... — read more

Strive for Mediocrity is Healthy

AT&T has special skills
It can turn good employees into bad employees within a year of working here. As soon as people realize that no amount of good work will net them anything positive, they stop caring and start doing less than the bare minimum. And I support them 100%... — read more

The worst leadership
AT&T's leadership is so bad that the board could fire every single one of them, not hire anybody to replace them, and the company would still start functioning better than it has in years. There would be no useless acquisitions and no unnecessary... — read more

To my low wage managers..
Did you decide to wait it out and wait for 3-5 years for your wage to catch up with the cost of living? Or did you leave? One guy I work with said he left and returned to a 10% increase.
TMobile is giving away up to 4 free Iphone 13s to
Those that switch. ATT will have no answer to this.
TMobile is running insane promotions
Free High End Phones. They know ATT is cash strapped and cannot match these multi thousand dollar promos and thus are going for the jugular. Mobility Customer Growthnis TMobile Checkmate Takedown. Nice going Stankey!

ATT does not have answers on how to grow
If they can’t chop heads fast enough the dividend cut is the next step. You can’t rebound from 3 massive strategic blunders in 12 years. And that’s the bottom line.
