I'm at the point where I'm considering leaving due to unrealistic requests and requirements. You can't do more with less ad infinitum. At some point, we'll be expected to do more with nothing. I'm not waiting around for that moment to happen, that's... — read more
I heard from my ARSM that something is “Launching this Summer Nationwide?”
Lemme guess, Digital Life 2.0? Wireless Home Phones? Can’t wait to see how AT&Fee will sc--w up something else & go in Debt again!
Nothing changed
I was resentful when I got transferred out xx years ago but looking at this channel, it seems I was saved. I wish my former colleagues all the best for the future.
Nothing but the best…
Midwest Directors = legacy hire, DEI hire, nepotism hire, friend hire, and a person that was the only person left after a bunch of people got fired for doing bad stuff. Wowza what a leadership team!
If your job is not quantifiable
Then you are just an empty suit. These are jobs T should be eliminating.
Sad state…
Ever notice how most AVPs and above have so little field knowledge. Yet they all act like this place would implode without them. Hard to be a leader when you don’t understand the basics. Where do they find these clowns?
Mid-Market Slau-hterhouse Continues
I used to be a CSE but now I am on the SIT team. It amazes me on how traditionally approved practices are now taboo. For Mid-Market, we have 210 cases pending decision for termination on sales practices that I did myself. This company has no moral... — read more

AT&T CEO: Focused on Always-On Connectivity
Pure genius. A telecom company that connects its customers, always. Mr. Stank knocked it out of the park in his Bloomberg interview. Yet, as much as the average Joe or Jane (or average CEO like John) likes to stay connected through satellites while... — read more
Time warp…
Ever notice how this place and the employees are stuck in a time warp? Offices are beyond depressing, filthy, and in disrepair. Employees skills are at an all time low. No new ideas ever come from management just the same regurgitation of old... — read more

Mid Market sla-ghter house
Lost 4 today with audits. Losing more each day with performance management. It’s a sla-ghterhouse. Not many people will be left standing.
Stankey Rally
It's been a great month for T stock. Up 7% over the last 30 days. RTO, hub locations and thinning out the management herd is working.
No More Inside the NBA thanks to AT&T
Ok so thankfully T won’t publicly look like id--ts for once because we no longer own Warner. However, between the mismanagement of Warner when we did own it and unloading it to a company that doesn’t have the money and leadership to manage marquee... — read more
Nothing of value here

What's T strategy with India and Eastern European hubs?
I know it's just more offshoring to improve the bottom line, but my question is with countries enacting stricter data compliance rules , how can T flirt laws and allow corporate data to flow into regions outside the US. Plus doesn't using external... — read more

Will the plant be rebuilt?
Well Now You Are Surplussed, I bet you wish you released the Stankey Tape now
Still can't believe that not one of you released the Stankey gaffe when he said AT&T was too old. You basically had hope you would not be let go, so you wished somebody else would. But it's not if it's when, and now you see that
Internet Problems for the last week
I called AT&T and their auto system wants to reset my modem. OK. All of my internet devices have been dropping all day. I call back & AT&T wants to reset my modem again. I've done this 3 times so far. So NO.. I call back & I tell the support person &... — read more

Nobody here cares how hard you work anymore
Working your fingers to the bone does nothing for you. All you have to do is find the right a-s to kiss and you are good. It's like AT&T is intentionally cultivating a workforce that avoids hard work and instead learns how to play office politics... — read more

I'm so lucky. I feel bad for young employees.

Mid Market Real Plan
