Why doesn't T declare bankruptcy?
In the long run it would be better, eliminate all debt now. Start fresh, WM merger would also be better for Discovery. I think it's inevitable, so why not now?
People...People...People
Scott Mair did it again, people are leaving due to things that can't be controlled in the org. If you're the #3 guy in the executive rank and can't doing anything different, why even say retaining people is a priority? An ounce of truth mixed in... — read more

It’s not the first time I’ve felt cheated
I didn't even expect frontline workers to be rewarded because they risked their health while working during the most stressful period during a pandemic when there were no vaccines yet. I didn’t expect much, because after all, this is ATT, a company... — read more
Stankey = Share price decline
WoW! T shares at $23 and change, how much lower will it go? Stankey knows more about the stock market than anyone else. For anyone holding T shares, it's enough to make you sick! What is the plan to raise the share price to $75.00?
