Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Stankey and Legg, D-mb and D-mber

Why does C suite not get any punishment for tanking the stock price? All they know how to do is cut headcount and make objectively bad decisions.

We’re going to spend 2B on building this Plano Campus for no fu---n reason. Wow!! Why do we not have any money?? Guess we’ll have to make employee cuts ! We’re going to spend billions on RTO, wow, why do we not have any money? Time to cull the cattle again! We’re going to buy TWD, we’re going to give tmobile 4 billion dollars, we’re going to buy directv! Oh, I’m actually stupid?? Let’s go cut more cattle and give myself a raise for my hard work.

The layoffs in June are going to be nuclear. PoliSci Legg’s d-mb as fu-k AI push has the whole company on Microsoft’s leash, and co pilot is getting 6x more expensive starting in June. It is an abhorrent failure. He has successfully capped top performer’s usage, and given too much usage to pea brains that ask AI what the weather is today. The cost and mismanagement will be insurmountable, so layoffs of at least 10% will happen.

And all the while, the guy making 30 mil for je-king off in his office and saying “Fiber” all day is perfectly safe, somehow. The stock is down 17% in 10 years, what does he even do? Why do these guys have jobs? They contribute nothing to society but leach from the money made by employees.

It's a simple formula. When you reward failure, you get more of it. AT&T's BOD holds no one accountable. The only way incompetent executives like Stankey get the boot is when institutional investors demand removal.

Dear John. You have destroyed AT&T. It will not survive. In the future it will be bought or put out of business by the mega conglomerates that are building data centers by the thousands. Your’e a weak leader John. If you had anything of value on the top of your oddly shaped dome we would have already seen it.

True statement about the value of AT&T stock price. Not only has it NOT increased in value it lost 5% value over the past 10 years. So if u owned $100 of T stock in 2016 it would now be worth only $95.

"Look at the stock market. 401k's are doing well"

As long as you moved your money out of the AT&T 401K options when you could.

Nobody is more powerful than Stinker and L’egg. This is their private company and they can do whatever they want.

Who’s going to punish them? The rubber stamp BoD that goes along with every d-mb idea King Stink or McKinsey comes up with and of which King Stink is the Chair? “We have investigated ourselves and find no issues. Everybody up here got paid, so no prob.”

Plenty of money for stock buybacks and dividends. Plenty of money to pay salaries. Plenty of money for new campus. Life is good.

Bad enough he’s been CEO for so long but Chairman of the Board also? So strange… doesn’t make any sense… seems corrupt.

What makes no sense is why this loser of a CEO is also Chairman of the Board of Directors !?!? What has he done successfully before he took over and now ? The stock is pathetic at best and we are late in the fiber game (always chasing and never leading ). The numbers don’t lie, no matter how you spin it Stankey.
