Adopting the Warner Media culture?

Warner media looks to have been doing fine before AT&T bought it, and AT&T seems to be a broken company in so many ways. Is it possible that AT&T adopts the Warner Media culture and the way to conduct business, instead of taking a perfectly good... — read more

1) Slash their wireless prices to be on par with European pricing models. Won't make as much per customer, but will greatly increase the customer base. Akin to selling one Ferrari at $100k or two dozen of them at $10k each. ( A lot more folks out... — read more

Will we ever have a good company culture again?

My guess is no. It takes only a second to destroy what was built for years , if not decades. For me it’s not just a question anymore of whether I get to stay at T or get cut. An equal punishment for me at this point will be staying at a company with... — read more
