Milk it for all that it is worth and then move on
In its current state ATT is on Death Row. Stankey is a drunken gambler who comes home after a bender and beats his wife, kids, and the dog. He is a loser with zero chance of success and his legacy and Randall’s will be that of losers.
Been reading horrible things about AT&T.

Who is not so easily replaced here?
I mean, which of us ordinary workers isn’t easily replaced? Of course we all are, but some less and some more. Can it be said that some jobs are safer than others here?

Everybody is an expert
