Return to work this summer
I’m in the TEMS group and we were notified we will be going back to the office in July. I think every employee should be mandated to get the Vaccine before we go back. I just don’t feel safe
Why does AT&T dislike older workers
Seems like AT&T dislikes workers over 50 more than other companies. I am curious if others agree and what you think the root cause is. Few can afford to retire at 50. I see Stanky has chosen not to. Thoughts?
Rooster Teeth up for sale
T looking to jettison Rooster Teeth acquired with Warner Media. Sales have dropped way off in the last year from 70M to 50M. Stankey is surely cleaning out the attic!

Any hope for telecom workers?
Tmobile figured out how to build and run a low cost network with only 50k employees. Customers flock to them for the low prices and decent customer service. How is ATT supposed to compete with this? Is there any path forward that doesn't include... — read more
Hey Stankey and Santone, I collect the paycheck and benefits
Have a side business going and recommend Tmobile to anyone and everyone. Also tell people the Town Hall story of Stankey knowing all about child birth and telling a roomful of women what to expect with that analogy.
Stankey needs to send out knee high boots and a
vo––t bag to accompany his emails. Hows that Social Justice Equality working out in the C Suite John? This guy is so far removed from reality that his social justice world excludes his bone headed megalomaniac decisions that have cost jobs, homes... — read more
Did ATT learn anything from its failures?
Failure after failure... Someone summed it up well here: cloud offerings, over–the–top TV, Digital Life, AirGig, U–verse, network automation, all those attempts to innovate the company failed. It seems to me that this company is not learning anything... — read more

Heard a rumor that Finance is going to have another MVO this summer.
Seems like wishful thinking from someone that didn't take last year's MVO. But it comes from someone that said they heard an SVP say it in a meeting. Several employees are already saying they will take the offer.
When it happened
You know when AT&T turned from a good company into what we have now? When it started prioritizing cost saving over winning customers. There have been so many reductions in people, services, and quality of remaining services that it’s no wonder we’re... — read more

Perhaps AT&T's time to shine is about to return - or not

Amazon to pay 465 million for one season of LOTR

The more you change jobs, the less you are afraid of change
I’ve noticed that people scared of layoffs are mostly those who are very loyal to the company and don’t like to get out of their comfort zone. Slaves of habit. On the other hand, I continuously changed jobs throughout my working life and worked in... — read more
