Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

New Plano campus ain’t gonna happen, folks!

Do y’all realize how many announcements Apple, Google, and gang have made about new campuses then the start date for construction gets pushed for this or that reason? Do you know how many permits it takes to knock down huge existing office buildings and the time it will take to pull up massive parking lots and roadways? Just thinking about the number of dump truck runs needed is mind boggling.

This is just big talk to make the news and try to garnish a stock price “buy” recommendation. A new CEO will be named in the next few years and will squash this whole idea, lease a few buildings and call it a day!

It ain't California. Permitting problems and delays are mostly a blue state issue. I bet Texas is more of a tear-it-down-first and-ask-forgiveness-after sort of state.

The whole announcement was just a ploy to get the city to cleanup downtown Dallas. You’ll never see that Plano office because it’ll never be built.

Plano already descended into a third world sh-t hole complete with unhoused beggars. Building there is a mistake. Of course that's where they'd choose!

The only thing good about the Plano campus is
less crime that downtown Dallas and less homeless population.
Hopefully, the parking will be FREE and employees won’t have to pay to park like you do in downtown Dallas.

1) AT&T isn't managing or paying for the project, 2) Plano has already committed tax breaks and logistical help with permits, etc, 3) Get ready for the best corporate campus in north Texas.

I have said it before, and I will say it again… anything that the Stank has a hand in goes to -hit!

The fact that ANYONE thinks executive “leadership” could possibly execute any aggressive plan on time and budget is a laugh riot.

He’ll build it, the next guy will sell it for a loss. Anything over 18 months fails due to Corporate ADHD.

Wait a second, are you forgetting Mr. Stankey is a genius when it comes to squandering money on halfwitted endeavors. Never under estimate a fool.
