Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Might be a disconnect between you and your current professional choice.

LMFAOOOOOO, are you kidding me Stank Ba--s….. Your dismissive comment about a "small majority" feeling disconnected from their professional choices is not just tone-deaf—it’s a glaring reflection of your own detachment from reality. The sentiment you so casually brush off is a roaring chorus, not a faint whisper. Countless professionals across thriving industries are reevaluating their paths, driven by purpose and opportunity, while your company languishes in irrelevance.

Let’s be clear: the disconnect isn’t with their career choices; it’s with your dying organization, hemorrhaging clients who couldn’t care less about your outdated products or lackluster services. The market has spoken, and it’s not a "small majority" abandoning ship—it’s a mass exodus from a company that’s failed to innovate or inspire. While you point fingers at others’ career decisions, your own leadership is the anchor dragging your enterprise to the bottom.

Wake up or step aside. The only disconnect here is your refusal to see that your company’s collapse is a case study in your own failure to adapt.

@dq You should not be doing any of that after hours. if you don't let systems fail, the leadership will continue to think they are the smartest kids in the class. They want you in the office, that is the only place and time you should be doing work. If clients want to leave because or out poor support, let them. Our business clients do not deserve better treatment than our employees.

It’s so stupid. I worked from home for 13 years because google wants to launch pre order at 7am, Samsung wants to go at 9pm. So now I come sit in an office from 8-5 with a 2 hour each way commute, so I can go home and do my actual work and sit on the phone until 1am clearing caching and making sure people can actually purchase phones. I’m worried because I had to WFH Friday because I was awake for 22 hours and was scared I’d fall asleep driving home Friday afternoon.

I know no one cares. Bah get back to work DEI hire…blah blah. But this has crippled our operations so much. Again I’m d-mb and like my job and come to work wanting to work. I actually care about the quality of my work output.

He’s like Joe Biden yelling at Americans for not taking a vaccine and saying it was gonna be a dark year of death. It’s inspirational all right…just be careful what you’re inspiring.

What choice? I definitely wouldn't have chosen the avps that got reorged and demoted around me. I didn't choose to lie to all of my employees about when remote hybrid work became the norm. Some of us choose to live a real life, instead of the delusion from the bo--y licking boardroom brought to you by Elliot mgmt.

You don't understand. No one ascends to the C-Suite without the ability to deny any responsibility for their decisions. Every failure is some other ones fault. Most of us don't have this defective narcissist personality disorder, so it is hard to understand, but it is a great asset if you want to step on the backs of people to climb a corporate ladder.

T-Mobile closed at $237 and change. We closed at $27 and change. Our CEO decided now is a good time to tell us to STFU. I’m happy to if he can explain to me and other shareholders how he put us in this place. He was instrumental in handing t-mobile billions in cash and spectrum. Today added another chapter in our book of how AT&T died. Signed by John Stankey.

agreed. DARK TRIAD tactics and sentiment abound in the email. Little was actually saidabout the survey -- the email consisted mostly of how Stankey sees the survey results.
