We lost one person on our team last week. He was fired. I won't go into whether it was justified or not; he is gone and that's it. We just learned today (well, more like yesterday) that he won't be replaced anytime soon and until that changes, we'll... — read more

Seems like AT&T dislikes workers over 50 more than other companies. I am curious if others agree and what you think the root cause is. Few can afford to retire at 50. I see Stanky has chosen not to. Thoughts?

T looking to jettison Rooster Teeth acquired with Warner Media. Sales have dropped way off in the last year from 70M to 50M. Stankey is surely cleaning out the attic!

How muchbis the severance pay taxed? I have heard almost half. However I thought it is more like 37%. Anyone have a concrete percentage?
