DirecTV does NOT care about their employees. Don't buy into the propaganda of the all hands meetings. They will surplus you after more than decades of loyalty. I've known people that have been laid off after 20 years or even on maternity leave!!! That speaks volumes to the type of company this has become over the years.
This is an archaic company that needs to cease to be in existence. Legacy AT&T employees now rule the company and will leave once they do what the came to do.
