Issues that competitors do not have
Overall, AT&T has been a terrible experience for me and I can't wait to leave. This place is falling apart fast. However, let's be realistic, I would probably encounter similar issues and have similar complaints with most competitors, wouldn't I?

Got my letter today. Job moving to Dallas and must report by 12/31/2023. No relocation. Have to accept or decline by August 4th. If you decline, on a surplus list with the letter coming late September. Off payroll early October.
Which company is worse run: T or Twitter?

You are investing too much energy into something you cannot change
People are disappointed and unsatisfied, but most forget that the company doesn't care, nor does it care about our opinions. When did any of our opinions change anything here for the better? It's never happened. Maybe therefore it is better to... — read more

John Stankey IS ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
https://investors.att.com/corporate-governance/board-of-directors everybody complains about why BOD won't get rid of him. nobody bothers to look up that he is PART of the BOD. Hate to say it but maybe that's part of the fat he wants to cut.
One easy fix to start uphill - new CEO
Not sure why the major stockholders aren’t pressuring the BOD to oust Stankey (maybe they are privately?) After the nonsense with R.Stephenson buying up everything like a kid in a candy store and J.Stankey storming into HBO like a bully and driving... — read more

Adapt, overcome and prevail.
Quit belly aching and do something about your situation. This is another reason our whole country is in decline. And the autocratic countries are watching us closely. We have all been spoiled for too long. Prove me wrong.
T RTO - "Come in 3-5 days." Townes - "You vill be IN the office ALL 5 dayz!!"
Seems pretty clear CT wants to make his org as miserable as he can so he can drive people out. Maybe going for that year-end bonus or trying to win a few side bets.
Hoorah! Back in action
Thanks John!
The Current RTO Process is Unsustainable

Wondering if any offices have experienced surprise AVP visits. Brookfield, WI, currently has a complete surprise visit from Exa Whiteman underway. Have other offices experienced similar visits?
Someone here called it ....
Sure enough. Today we hear from Stank after a long silence, and I am sure much legal review, on the lead clad cable issue...as predicted, he is using this issue (solely, apparently) to explain the poor stock performance. "...has created uncertainty... — read more
