I would like to hear from those who think that this leadership should take more risks and what kind? It was brought up in one of the discussions down below. Personally, I'm really not sure that would be the wisest thing to do now.

I have been with the company for 15 years and have always worked from home. I've spent exactly 16 days in the office during that time. I had to familiarize new employees with our processes. I chose to do it in person all 4 times. We've never needed a... — read more

Also no service degradation at their top plan? I can save 60-70 per month for the same service even with employee discount??? What employee discount I ask!!! To be or not to be, I don't want any part of ATT I see.

I checked another level up and they don't know anything. One more level up and they don't know anything. No one knows anything other than to tell you to check with someone who doesn't know anything. Almost like a typical workday in the ATT Office... — read more 

ATT leadership can sit on it and rotate? Hey Stanks and Van Buzzer choke on a fat one you two losers. $16B is slip sliding away......

Washington DC is keeping him there for access to Americans activity. No buffoon this bad would last thing long unless there was someone in the swamp who wants him there as an agent against America.

At least I no longer have to rely on Wi-Fi to make a call in my house since T had nothing here unless I went outside. Seems to be good so far and the prepaid plan is actually a bit cheaper than existing employee plans. So far a win-win. Feels... — read more
