RS is an accountant without a Finance background. He does not know how to do basic ROI calculations that a 1st year MBA student can perform. I did those calculations in less that an hour to realize that we paid double the acceptable price for DTV and TW.
Yes, a leader needs to be able to do ROI calculations. The reason is that when the leader insists on a purchase his subordinates are too afraid to speak up for fear of losing their jobs.
No wonder RS made massive mistakes with the attempted acquisition of T-mobile, and the actual merger with DTV and TW.
Upvote this if you think the Board should clawback all the bonuses that were paid to RS in the years related to the (attempted) acquisition of T-Mobile, DirecTV and Time Warner.
If the Board of Misdirectors had any balls, they would pull back a large chunk of Ratty's compensation.
But they won't.
Randall's and John's lives should be ruined as bad as the employees laid off since the purchase.
And I thought Stankey knows more about media and any of the Time-Warner execs that grew up in the business and were forced out or left due to Stankey. He sure thinks so.
Pathetic. They make millions while laid-off employees get sc-aps.
how can you make a buy and sell of a company like that and then get more than 200,000 a month forever for your retirement. a 10 year old child could make that deal. wth - no corporate governance at all.
But if they get 161,111,112 paying subscribers to sign up for HBO Max for 1 year they will make that all back! That’s a great foolproof business plan from the brilliant minds of AT&T leadership!!!!!
