Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Lack of a solid strategy

I think more and more that the leadership does not have any well thought out plan for this company. It actually gives me tremendous anxiety, because it really seems like they don't know where they're steering this ship. Could it be that things have gotten out of their control?

Whining for the sake of whining. Waah!

"Growing mobile subscribers. Growing fiber subscribers. Time to get past blindly complaining."

Um, this isn't the T-Mobile board, Junior. This is T. None of that is happening.

How dare you say the executives don't have a solid business strategy?

  • Trying to buy T-Mobile and having to give them $5B
  • Buying DTV for $50B
  • Buying Time-Warner for $100B
  • Rushing DIRECTVNow to a complete flop
  • Rushing AT&TTV to a complete flop
  • Not being able to buy sufficient 5G spectrum
  • Lagging in laying high-speed connectivity and fiber
  • Selling DTV and Time Warner for less than $50B combined (and taking the $100B loss)'
  • Constant layoffs that have destroyed morale, decimated the acquisitions, and plunged the stock price to a 30-year low

That all sounds like some shrewd business acumen. Stink is playing 3-D chess while the rest of us are still poking the dirt with a stick.

Oh, wait ...

Today Legg said they aren't even worrying about wave 2 and 3 yet.

Too much sinking with just wave 1.

For a while I feel like I am in a ship without a rudder.

Exactly why those of us who are lucky enough to be “safe” so far need to take a deep breath. AT&T is notorious for impulsive decisions and initiatives magically disappearing.

Not saying it will happen - but it wouldn’t surprise me at all if in a few months leadership pretends this never happened and we all go about our business like we always have.

There is no plan. Crew & passengers don't bother with steering when the ship is sinking.
at&t is sinking and Stink is asking for the Rata's to Jump Overboard.
