If AT&T would have leveraged AT&T Mex as mart of the US Mobility offer, it might have gotten better traction.
EX: US Customers: Call and roam to MX, included with your plan. AT&T MX: Roam on AT&T in the USA and call to US for free. Make it one big footprint. You know... like T-Mo does with so many places?
That may have gotten the subs they wanted out of this. Instead, it's just another C Suite blunder that costs everyone money.
“where is the board?”
Being 100% complicit.
Buy high, sell low, it’s the only way to go! Stanks mantra…
@j6 “where is the board?” — Do you mean the same rubberstamp board that has gone along with every d-mb CEO idea for the last 15 years? The same board of which Stink is the Chair? Yeah, not holding my breath that they will even consider discussing let alone doing the right thing.
Another sign of Stankey's mental decline. He was in charge of corporate strategy when the deal was made and now has to undo his strategic decision. But he doesn't remember that the original acquisition was his idea! Keeping him in the CEO role at this point is borderline elder abuse, and no amount of AI and "orbiting" staff is going to be able to offset the clearly reduced mental capacity. What are you guys thinking? Where is the Board in all of this?
Yet another surprise gift from "leadership".
Meritocracy? You must be new here.
How does this apply here?
"I understand that some of you may have started your tour with this company expecting an "employment deal" rooted in loyalty, tenure, and conformance with the associated compensation, work structure, and benefits. We have consciously shifted away from some of these elements and towards a more market-based culture — focused on rewarding capability, contribution, and commitment."
He's chasing ghosts. Promos were never tenure based if the employee didn't grow and contribute more. This was always a meritocracy and if anything their boneheaded pandering to the govt on DEI shortcircuited that. Not sure what his problem really is.

@a6 you don’t understand financial markets asking a question like this.
Stock price literally means nothing. It’s just based on the number of outstanding shares. T has just issued more shares lowering the price per share. It has nothing to do with valuation.
Stanley is businessman of the year.
Fire sale!! Everything must go.
@a5 Must be why the stock is up today.
Why is this question always thrown around , have we compared our stock price with T-Mobile or even Verizon ?
