Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

The Market Has Spoken. Leadership Isn’t Listening.

The market is at all time highs and our stock is down 3%, back to $24. Exactly where it was a year ago. Zero progress while everything else runs.

Banks across the board are downgrading the stock to “sell.” Wall Street has no confidence. Employees have no confidence. Yet leadership keeps pretending this is working.

How much louder does the message need to be? This strategy is failing. The stock is dead money. Morale is wrecked. Talent is leaving.

Enough excuses. Enough doubling down. We don’t need more spin. We need real change. Now.

After blowing billions on stock buybacks just to prop up a falling share price, ja--ing up operating expenses with five day RTO, and watching business conditions worsen, leadership is now hinting bonuses may be impacted. Shocking.

Someone has to pay for the new kingdom. It clearly isn’t leadership.

Higher costs, zero stock appreciation, no measurable upside from RTO, and now employees get stuck with a weak bonus or none at all. Same work, more expense, less reward.

This is the pattern. Bad decisions get papered over with buybacks and spin, and when the bill comes due, employees pay it. I’d be shocked if bonuses aren’t disappointing this year. And leadership will act surprised again.

Down another 1.5%! Granted 1.5% of zero is zero, but the slide continues and the Bozo at the top stays the course.

If any of us were as much of a failure we’d be gone that day!

"The stock wAS AT 28 BACK IN 2010 when I joined T....due to Randalls and Stinkeys many miscues, "

It was also paying a 6%-7% dividend.

Not one penny in T stock and I am up 14.82% YTD. T is a joke on all fronts.

Stock was just downgraded to a Sell rating as well. With a price target of $20. That’s the street, not someone on the layoff saying that. Google it.

It’s sad but if you have one penny of your 401k in our stock you are committing financial su----e.

And now our leaders will spend over a billion dollars on a combination of the world’s most boring summer camp/plush minimum security prison. This from a company whose brand promise is supposedly that our products can connect people so that you don’t need to build something like this.

@a2 I won’t be leaving until I’m paid to leave. Until then it’s just the bare minimum. You bootlickers can pick up the slack and I’ll just chill and collect the cheese. Thanks! Your dedication to the titanic makes my life easy. You’re a su---r.

@a5 we could have built fiber across the entire country for a fraction of the price of these blunders and already been done by now. Instead we just burned that money and are saddled with debt. This is a total failure and the board is complicit.

No change will happen. Even when the 💩 Stink "retires" he will be brought back for millions a year just like Ratty.

Stink 💩 should never had been put in this position, and the buy high, sell low, "mergers" would never had occurred and $200B would still be in the Shareholder pockets.

The BoD needs to go just as much as the Stink does.
