Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

John Stanley’s commute

We never see the guy in the parking garages - not in Ross, not in DalPark. We never see the guy roaming the headquarters either. The guy lives in Bluffview, TX - one of the wealthiest neighborhoods of all of Dallas. He gets driven 15 min to the HQ in his Range Rover and parks in private parking. Then proceeds to take his private elevator that lights up straight to floor 4.

Yet, I have to commute from McKinney - a middle class city to downtown and sit in bumper to bumper traffic. I am waitlisted from DalPark so pay 50 bucks per month to park in Ross. But that requires taking a crumby shuttle past the homeless to global HQ. So, I decide to pay double for parking and pay the daily parking fee at Ervay St and then walk over 5 min to headquarters. I pass several suspicious, crazy, and homeless people and realize I don’t have any pepper spray on me. Once I get in HQ, I see impressive led screens then take the elevator to floor 8 where the monitors, keyboards, and mouse haven’t been refreshed since 2010. Just 2 floors above Stankey where the floor was recently redone.

1 company. 2 different people. 2 very different lives. Rules for thee but not me.

Don't forget that when he comes to NJ, he gets his hotel room on the ocean (and he only comes in the summer). Only the best for the Stank. Only the worst for everyone else.

Stankeys season of life revolves around highland park and golf tournaments. Not to mention testosterone therapy to keep that voice booming.

If Stankey only has a 15 minute commute, there is no way he is moving HQ to Plano unless he decides to retire early.

If you are on a higher floor, then you are effectively on higher ground.

According to Sun Tzu's most famous writing, " He (She) who holds higher ground [has the] advantage."

Prepare your group to be ready to go downstairs. Once you all get to the 4th floor, construct the instrument used on Louis16 and MarieAntoinette...

lol, when the revolution comes, be ready.

You should take the train downtown if you are in McKinney. Save on parking, no traffic and you can relax while someone else handles the drive.

I don't want to work because Stankey has it so good.

You forgot this part. Employees are tracked when they badge in. Hours are tracked based on Internet tracking & cell phone pings. Reports are available to supervisors daily. Parking in Dallas is 1/2 a mile away and employees have to ride a bus to get to and from the office or walk amongst the homeless in downtown Dallas. Seating is open spaces which are always “reserved” by people who leave their stuff there so you can’t find a desk unless you get in by 7am. You’re lucky to sit on a couch if you get in by 9am.

If you have a family with small kids, forget about it. If a kid is sick you have to take the day off instead of being allowed to work from home. Doctors appointment? Take sick time instead of working from home. Kid in the hospital? You take a day off to not show up in the RTO report.

The entire thing is ridiculous.
