Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Legg cheesy intro and pending Data org layoffs .

Legg a Warner lackey basically started this conf call with slickly produced but cheesy intro segment, wonder how much that cost To produce?

But the real substance was about 30min in when he basically confirmed lots of workforce reductions and cloud intiatives involving contracting companies and retirement of legacy apps, and departments..

He mentioned two key dates one in the middle of July and the other in Sept. Before 3rd quarterly conference calls.

They can't get indentured servants via H1B visas, so expect a shortage to drive up the prices in the U.S.

I have no direct info about further outsourcing, just noting that Trump's most recent visa restrictions are most likely to have that effect.

So is Israel the new Slovakia? It sounds like they want to create a development team org in Israel. So sad that even when AT&T leaders talk about investing in IT development, they talk about investing it outside America.

Wow. Do you guys over at ATT have conference calls and "Town Halls" every single day?! No wonder that pig is circling the toilet.

The more I see and hear Legg, the more I like. Legg compared to others, so far, big improvement. I did catch the bad news, not his fault, though he knows he's safe, it's still up in air about all the rest of us. Those dates mentioned, will come, and will pass, it's not in limbo forever.

I want to hear a replay. I heard coming weeks in a surplus context and a review of strategy in September. But, maybe I missed something.
