Every Quarter Like Clockwork, I roll my 401-K Match from ATT to something else,
anything else 99% of the time the past 20 years would have you in a better position than if you kept it in ATT stock. I suggest everyone do the same. Hoping for a rebound with this management crew is useless. I mean look at those at the top. Stankey... — read more

ATT Stock has no MOJO
Wall Street Hates ATT Employees Hate ATT Customers Hate ATT Everything and Anyone Hates John Stankey! He is a Tomato Can B-m! Show him the door!
Inconsistent Guidelines?
I’m noticing folks with same/similar titles and job function having different guidelines for the Occupancy Indicator status and RTO requirements. Do SVPs have a quota for the percent of Telecommute workers and RTO, or do they have the flexibility to... — read more

I Feel Bad For What AT&T Has Become

AT&T and Rivian
Sure AT&T would buy cars that don’t exist, for workers that won’t exist. Aha I get it they want to cut cost and carbon emissions. That’s why they are asking 200000 people to drive their gas fueled vehicles to their offices. Such hypocrisy — read more
