Can Stankey continue to disrespect rank and file at T?
Just curious if you believe Stankey can ever be successful at T if he continues to disrespect the workforce. I think most would say no, what do you think?
Now that the USA has officially entered into a recession and
Joe Manchin agreeing to a smaller spending bill with higher corporate taxes added to that bill, what will T do for its next move? As reported, T has already frozen its ATT Transfer System hiring, will it stand pat or will it start to reduce head... — read more

So, Tmobile raised their free cash flow. Apparently tmobile customers rushed to pay their bills early? So, Stankey can't use this lame excuse for why free cash flow and stock are tanking. At&T stores are empty. Tmobile stores are full. Amid... — read more
Market rivals
I received an offer from a direct competitor and since I was offered a higher pay, I am preparing to give notice. Does it seem to you that this company does not pay enough attention to what its competitors are doing? Consequently they lose to them... — read more

Late payments are causing cash flow problems?
Aren't almost all plans incentivized to do autopay? If you don't do autopay your plan goes up by $10 per phone per month? And there's a late fee if you pay your bill late? So how are 2 day late payments affecting cash flow? It's not. Fake numbers are... — read more
No layoffs at T in 2022
I don't believe there will be any major layoffs throughout the rest of 2022. The 2q results we very good with the exception of free cash flow. Pascal stated that free cash flow was down because customers, on average, are paying their bills 2 days... — read more
If it's any consolation
Verizon had a much worse 2Q2022 than T. Of coarse TMOB outperformed both T and VZ by a wide margin. T and VZ have no where to go but up. Both are horribly managed corporations managing decline.
Management layoffs
Are managers in charge of about 20-30 people less likely to be laid off? I think that's why technical people become managers so that they are safer.

Subscribers up, Revenue down ?
How does that happen?
did anyone catch the #unscripted Stankey internal call this morning?

ATT is always looking for leaders
But somehow they don't look for results. Not PowerPoint slanted results but hard black and white numbers results. See more MBA Chiefs of Staff who run around like glorified admins get pushes for being yes yes yes good little beavers.
What changes does ATT need?
Unfortunately, the leadership never listens to the employees, and I believe that some employees could manage this company better than they do. I'm curious what you think, what changes this company urgently needs? what would you change if you had... — read more

Recession probably starting 3rd quarter...plan accordingly
