Honestly, I don't. Serious posts please. How does AT&T buy, then sell TW, DirecTV, Tmobile, and a host of other companies and sell at a loss while the executives keep their jobs and the board remains? How does selling these mismanaged assets... — read more
“It will be great for the stockholders”
Oh I see. Dump the darling Warner Media for half what you paid and cut the dividend in half. BAD MATH !!!!!! Oh and those stockholders are dumping the stock since the company is run by buffoons !
Jim Cramer Predicting a Dividend Cut
"I don't think that people realize that ATT is going to have at least a 50% dividend cut which is why if you want income it should be sold." https://twitter.com/jimcramer/status/1394310172999290882
Dividend Cut
At least the entertainment value from the carnage created from the dividend cut will make good TV for them.

AT&T’s Dividend Payout Stands to Be Cut ‘Nearly 50%’ in WarnerMedia Deal Barron's
Got a job with the competition
There is no reason not to accept a new job with the competition, because I will get much better working conditions. However, no matter how angry I am with the management of this company, it will be unusual for me to work for competitors. The... — read more
just as predicted. dividend cut 50% -this place is a circus
they can try to sell it many ways to uninformed but this is still a disaster that keeps getting worse
Time Warner and DTV
The acquisition and wholesale disposal of Time Warner and DTV shows just how disastrous Randall’s strategy was. The company is still saddled with over $100 billion in debt. Good luck to all of the AT&T employees that went over to TW as AT&T unwinds... — read more
Good news for a change
I know there are a lot of haters on this board but today’s news is good news for all of T. Stankey is undoing all of Stephenson and Donavan’s strategies and T is becoming a telecom transport company rather than a content company. Making movies and... — read more
When should I tell my boss that I'm retiring?
After 37 years, I'm out due to the benefit changes. Fidelity's website says to start the process with them (to take my lump sum and RUN!) 90-180 days in advance. It goes on to say, as soon as I enter my retirement date - to notify my manager. My... — read more
A Decade of Massive Losses and you are
Left with a Toxic evironment and at least 9/10 employees not giving a dam. I know I dont and am just collecting checks and benefits.
Dont forget that Stankey and Stephenson created
A powerhouse with the number 2 wireless service provider Tmobile/Sprint. That was their most successful merger/acquistion but it came at the expense of ATT shareholders.
Combined T and TW Pension Plans. We are so screwed!
With TW being sold to Discovery for a shinny nickel, no doubt T will give Discovery the lion's share of the T pension plan because Stinky hates us T employee so much. Got to get the lump before Stinky strikes again!
Stinkey’s empire continues to implode
He and Randy will be studied for years to come in business schools on how to ruin a once great business.
Content was the future until this weekend, AT&T Buffoonery Continues
I think "Strategy" and "Well Thought Out" are replaced by "Pi-s it Away" and "Burn It" in the Stankey and Stevenson vocabulary. The spin on this move will be interesting as the egg on Stankey's face just got a dose of diarrhea. I would have to... — read more
ATT up 2% and Discovery up 12% in early action
AT&T does a wonderful job of enriching the shareholders of other companies.
Laying off newer employees?
I’ve started working at AT&T last year and I know a couple of people that started working when I did that got laid off in the last couple of months. Is the a pattern of laying off employees that haven't been at the company for long?
Bloomberg ticker says AT&T are in talks with Discovery
Here we go again. Will it be another lemon like T Mobile or what? With this C suite, anything is possible. One things for sure, we will spend a fortune talking and end up chopping jobs to pay the next dividend.
Light at the end of the tunnel
I see so many questions on here about should I leave should I stay? I will tell you if a layoff is imminent, stay and bleed them dry, but get the resume ready, update and maintain your Linkdin profile. If you have not updated your resume in 5-7 years... — read more
Over $40,000 per taxpayer was handed out

No mask no social distance - return to office?
Based on new CDC guidelines of no mask and no social distancing - for fully vaccinated - I smell a vaccine requirement to continue to be employed - and a return to office by 4th of July- who is with me on that thought ?
Directv
Has anyone heard anything regarding what the future holds for the directv techs? They’re saying it’s going to be a while new company but att still owns a majority of it. Any rumors of layoffs that you feel are semi concrete?
What is wrong with John Stankey
His voice sounds really bad. He's always been a little gravelly-voiced but he truly looks and sounds terrible now. His mind also does not seem very good and he's using note cards which is unlike him. Not saying this to be snarky; I don't care for... — read more

Hoping to make it another day

Is this AT&T's only business strategy?
ATT is one big disappointment
Dealing with disappointments? I can't get over it. All their business moves are a disappointment. Working here and witnessing how the company has been degraded makes me sick. It's just that it's no longer the same company I applied for. I would... — read more

I feel bad for them
I can't tell you how many fresh-out-of-college new hires I've seen fired within two or three months of them joining T in the past couple of years. I feel sorry for them. They get hired to do a job that was practically invented by the person who was... — read more
Every tawnhall is a growing disappointment?
I absolutely don’t trust our management. I often feel that I am working for my enemy who will betray me at some point, will not give me the right information in time or will give me the wrong information. That may be too harsh, but it’s my own... — read more
Retiree concession SALES?
I keep getting calls from AT&T Employee Concessions to sell me services. In the past I'd cuss them out and blow a whistle in their ear. They kept calling, so not sure what scam this was - I actually answered the call and let them talk. He wants to... — read more

Sucks for me
Before I joined AT&T three years ago I asked a couple of people I knew who worked here if it was a good place to work. All of them had only words of praise for the place so I had no reason not to accept the offer. Fast forward to today and I can't... — read more
