My HR sources are saying they're currently prepping for a significant layoff. Several Line 2s will be hit this phase due to many unnecessary managerial positions. This is a "trim the fat phase" but other levels will be hit as well. Some will be... — read more 

Anybody else notice an uptick in VPs+ activity on LinkedIn lately? Seen a bunch of hogwash leadership giving each other accolades (also friends, and those that have taken care of each other). As I hear the young say CRINGE Women's equality? ... — read more

Its quite fitting to see these stooges frequently in the headlines as we lose NFL Sunday Ticket, lose 13 million subscribers, increase subscription prices, hand out measly $20 ESPN credits, mishandle Disney negotiations, prep for mergers, selloffs... — read more 

AT&T and TPG are in talks to combine their DirecTV service with Dish, sources say, in a long-talked-about deal that could create the largest pay-TV provider in the US

These Execs are only concerned with lining their pockets as this company is clearly in its death spiral. Every month feels like an episode of Directv's "Squid Game"!! Who stays and who's thrown off the cliff? I had to surplus 50 of my subordinates in... — read more 

Really not understanding the strategy. Called in to get an advertised lower priced package which was comparable to Utube in most regards. Basically told that price was for new customers only. I switched. Guess there are some factors I don’t see but... — read more 

So tired of working with lame management. This is the zombie that keeps on kicking. Hoping to get a package. Any idea when the next round of layoffs are? The slow suffocation of a dying company is slowly ki-ling me.

Just got word that Directv is going to layoff more people in the USA. How can Americians compete with cheap labor outside the USA? So sad that Directv isn't going to pull off a turn around and keeps gaslight employees that a turnaround is comming... — read more

This company is dooming, no people does any work in the company, all about mouth smart and as .....s kissing, time to prepare all your resumes

I've been hearing DTV pooed the bed on their 4K superbowl stream that they've been pumping for months. It'll be interesting to see how many cancel.

Curious as to how many customers we're losing each quarter now?

If the market makes a turn soon, do you think there will be DIRECTV layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

Prepare yourself by updating resumes as DTV is going down the tubes faster than thought. Good luck.

When can we expect layoffs to continue?
