Stankey was behind every bad decision made at T. He caused $150 billion debt. RTO is another failure like DTV and Warner Media. This guy should be prosecuted.

I can’t believe there are still some people who believe that was the reasoning behind RTO. It’s the attrition tactic, plain and simple. It’s about making as many people leave on their own, so it costs T nothing to get rid of them. It’s about pushing... — read more

Want younger talent? This is NOT how you keep them. In fact, it’s the exact opposite, they’ll be the first to leave. You’ll be left with the 55+ crowd, and in 5 years when they retire you’ll have nobody. Good luck getting college hires to 5 days RTO... — read more

What are your AT&T-related resolutions for 2025? Mine is to leave and never look back.
