Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

T-Mobile overtakes AT&T as the #2 carrier in the U.S.

https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20200806006011/en/T-Mobile-Overtakes-ATT-America%E2%80%99s-2-Wireless-Provider

This is what happens when the worst of the worst are promoted at AT&T, and everyone else (those with a modicum of professional competence) gets bullied out.

I get the feeling that there’s an army of ex-AT&T employees that work for the competition and love sticking it to their former employer.

I spent 10 years with AT&T Mobility before being laid off (Manager 1-B role) and have been managing at T-Mobile for more than 3 years now. I truly enjoy porting over AT&T customers to over to T-Mobile and dismantling their business as much as I possible can where I live. I know I’ve taken down well over $500K in MRC. If I can’t get them to switch to T-Mobile (random rural coverage issues) , I arrange for my friends at Verizon to take care of them. I don’t think AT&T takes into account just how much individuals prop up their accounts. Take out the individual, the accounts go with it. You matter! ... until you don’t.

As a three year retiree of AT&T at age 59 I am thinking of switching to T-Mobile. If we can not keep up with this no name company what have we become?

You're welcome, tmo employee! Your company outwitted our high-dolla execs and layers! Quick thinking on your part to write a breakdown penalty into the contract. Bet they never thought they'd need that... Touche!

You're welcome T-Mobile. The $9B in cash and spectrum that Randy gave you as a result of the failed merger has pushed you past us here at T. Pathetic!

This is truly embarrassing. And T-Mobile is also advertising as I am typing on this portal.

Big game changer? Give a product away that you invested 80 billion dollars to create. Yeah, big game changer. Is this the new economics 101 to invest 80 billion dollars only to give it away?

But HBO Max is already bundled with wireless, video and 1gig fiber.

While I agree randy created T-Mobile, they are doing this by not making any money. They are valued to be a 100 billion company but made 100 million for the quarter. At some point they will
Need to raise prices and that’s when everything will change. For Att to actually be successful, they will need to package hbo max as part of the service. That will be a game changer

Randall did more for T-Mobile than he ever did for AT&T.

wow, all the BS town halls, useless metrics, bloated hierarchy. Failed buyouts that will go down in Econ 101 as a case study just like the failure of aol-time Warner merger. Scam your customers and this is the result.
