Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

@3ulx+1g9wklKJ your post would make more sense if it weren't for the irritating little fact that Stank was among the biggest players in both the DTV and TW mergers.

He's only now 'steering the ship' back to telecom because he so astoundingly f-ed up both DTV (which he ran post-merger) and TW (which he also ran post-merger).

Now he's running the whole thing. Third time's the charm, right?

Ok Stankey go back to your pajama party

I'm not sure Stankey was any more on board with this than you or me. He was, after all, somebody's direct report back then. Since Randall's ouster, Stankey has been steering the ship back toward telecommunications and cutting the media and advertising elements free. He's also had a decided change in tone, going from suggesting in town halls how HBO run its creative side to exclusively talking shop about fiber, wireless, business, and the complex mechanations of separating all these acquired businesses. No more mention of media, no more living in CA, and he stays away from ever mentioning his predecessor.

Bring on the Harvard Business school case studies. How to F up a company with a flawed M&A strategy.

Not surprising

Randall and Stankey remind me of that scene in Thelma and Louise where they drove the car off the cliff!! Except it was AT&T and Randall got out with a Golden parachute!

An oldie but a goodie example of worst practices of leadership.

This is yet another example of Ts incompetence at the leadership level. I’m sure the kool aid drinkers will have something positive to say in support of yet another T misstep.
