Ed is an amazing guy and he was a fantastic boss that everyone respected. I was honored to work for him for two decades. Rich is nowhere close to Ed's keague. Not on a technical level and most definitely not on a personal level. I expect to be seeing and reading about more security problems at AT&T.

I retired from CSO a couple years ago and thank God. That's all I can say.

You just mad cause you've been passed over for promotions.

Maybe one day, if you show initiative and drive, someone may mentor you for a leadership role.

I'm sure you're satisfactory in your current role. But not everyone has the aptitude or skills to be an effective manager.

Best of luck.

@c5
Yours words represent today’s clueless managers who even do not know what he/she doesn’t know. This kind of “mythical manager” mantra is what is leading AT&T and the likes to disaster.

Compliance bureaucrats. There are not actual technical people running that show. They just make and enforce more rules to lower productivity and provide no additional security.

5 day RTO will surely attract the highest-quality applicants.

"Many of those so called leaders have no experience with backbone routers or even internet security.
No wonder we have leaks not prevented by our "security organization".

Fits completely with a political science major heading AT&T technology."

A leader does not necessarily have to understand the fine details of your lowly job to be an effective manager. It helps to have a general knowledge.

Skillsets are completely different in a tech role versus a management role. You might be great at your job with routers, but terrible and ineffective at managing resources.

This is internally focused, but interesting how they do this after spinning off the security sales org.

Non hub. So why there?

ONLY because baich and his cronies that he brought over from AIG and Wells Fargo all used to live there and don't want to be in Dallas.

Do as we say, not as we do.
