I was hoping to see improvement here, but things are getting worse and worse. No one believes that ATT can be fixed anymore. Most people want to leave, look for new jobs and send applications. Almost no one would recommend this company to a job seeker. People I know work the bare minimum.

"The reason being is they’ve witnessed failed business decision after failed business decision! "
Not just that, but this has all been without consequence.
Randy and Stank have set how many billions on fire the Tmob debacle - Randy retires like a king, gets brought back for another million or so to "consult" on this mess he made & Stankey will pull in another $20mil.
All the while the stock remained as stagnant as a forgotten bucket of ur--e left in a hot shed in July for a month.
Att is a dinosaur, and you know what happened to them. The problem is leadership and the vision for the future. It's been non-existent for several years.
On top of that, they completely seem to forget that the people who work for them are human beings, not just a payroll number on a spreadsheet.
When the workers don’t believe and can’t stand behind the goals of the C suite personnel, that’s a major problem! The reason being is they’ve witnessed failed business decision after failed business decision! The executive leaders are running this company into a proverbial ditch. Give us a leader who can lead and we’re behind him/her 110%! It’s human nature, it’s as simple as that!
Absolutely agreed with last poster. People that do actual work here have managed to deal with structural and technology changes.
Stop drinking the kool-aid, think critically and follow the money.
"Some people just cannot deal with change and that is holding the company back."
This is such corporate bullying BS.
What's holding the company back is a parade of failed ventures and horrible business decisions. Adding to this, it's been mostly the front line employees who are paying for them.
Add to that, the c-suite is filled with entitled premadonnas who can do no wrong and blame literally everyone else in the company for their mistakes.
THIS is the problem.
No one believes, which means you don't believe. Some people just cannot deal with change and that is holding the company back.
The key word is “believe”, there is no trust and no collective us as a company. There are the executives and their golden parachutes. Employees are getting short change at every turn in the the name of cutting cost. Executive pay and benefits aren’t getting cut during these “extremely challenging times”. If they can take millions with a straight face, why not us when we get pay peanuts.
Keep micro managing by spread sheet. It doesn't work
For every tech actually working, there are 5 or 6 people making sure of it.
Yea, you know where my truck is, but you have no idea what I'm doing.
If I do as little as possible, I'll greatly reduce my chances of getting in trouble, yet get paid the same.
And the less I work, the more OT is available to cover the work.
There is simply zero incentive to do a good, loyal job any longer.
As a matter of fact, the rules they create make me far more $$$ by using those rules.
They just don't get it, and haven't since the mid 90's.
Things will continue to decline until the Stinky is removed and the BoD that appoints looser megalomaniac thieves like him and Ratty to be our delusional leader.
several reasons 1.contractors, 2.you do more so others do less then hit burnout.3.you do more and there is less work leading to surplus. pace yourself.
Just like legacy T, we continue to miss on the one item that could make us bulletproof - building out the fiber network.
I think warner eventually pans out, but the DTV investment would have been better spent deploying more fiber - especially outside of the footprint particularly the DC to Boston corridor, where population is dense.
But imagine a nationwide fiber network with our own Triple Play bundle - wireless, internet and HBO max
Greetings @usy+1aCDuJfp,
Entertainment a dying industry? Enron? Uh, maybe you should study not just how T works but businesses in general before making such broad assumptions.
Nag, nag, nag. Same old argument, different day.
The iceberg has hit the titanic. We are going down. There is nothing you can do. The decision to push entertainment - which is a dying industry, was a grave mistake. We should have stuck to expanding our broadband and mobility side of the business - things that are profitable. Instead we pushed the Enron side of the business.
