Day after day the stock price continues to drop and finally went under $24. Stinkey undoubtedly will use this as a reason to cut headcount when this drop is due to management incompetence/ineptness and not lack of profit. We need an upper management leader who can talk to the market analysts to convince them the company is on the right track - perhaps we are not on the right track and no one can do this?

Mr Stankey knows more about stocks than anybody.
Sharpening his axe!
Stankey is trying to find another CEO to socialize with this coming weekend. Unfortunately no other CEO wants to be seen with him, he is a real life lepper. He needs to try to change his image. He cannot even negotiate a fair deal in spinning off DTV and Warner Media. When you are in a weak position like Stankey, you have to take what you can get.
Stop bellyaching. Stinkey is making sure workers are taken care of.
I'm not stock expert, but from what I've been following on the internet, come mid-next-year when they spin off Warner Media, there will be a commensurate reduction in the stock price based on whatever amount they decide the value of the new Warner/Discovery company is. AT&T stock holders are supposed to get 70% of that company value so look for the AT&T stock price to go down at least $5 per share - maybe $7.
Stankey is very busy re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic these days.
I'm a buyer of T shares when they get to $13.00, and they will!
Ya'll take too much into stock price. So much of stock price is emotion not data. Stock price is controlled by buyers and sellers. They are working on improving the overall reputation that provided some drive, and improving the revenues to support it. Kida tough when the markets demand high services without price.
Diversity isn’t the issue. This failure starts and stops at the very top. Change the leader, change the attitude, change the culture. The market will follow.
Stank is tarnished and no amount of makeup is going to make the market want a date.
.....And I'm the Pope.......
It's like playing the piano on the Titanic....very sad.
Whether the stock is $24 or $44, there shouldn't be any "make work" employees on the payroll that are available to be cut.
Part of the stock's problem is inflation, because the dividend minus inflation has a much lower net yield lately.
to @mov+1dT7WTZo: LMAO Good sarcasm!!
A company needs a number of employees to operate or work salary employees 10+ hours a day. A company does not hire employees not needed. Break up the company, send hard workers to a new owner. I bet their is enough cash held back to pay golden parachutes. Cut to the bone with long term trying to hold out until pension/medicare; the only place left is for the board to cut top execs. Their leadership has proven its worth. Buy stock at $15 per share.
Are you kidding? Execs and officers are too busy planing what to do with their retention bonuses.
When will the employees rise up to take control of the this failing company?
Lowest stock price in 16 years! The same leaders promoting their protégés. This is obviously a failure by every measure in business. It’s time for turn over at the top. Stop putting people in jobs that have no experience in that role. Stop placing people because they meet that diversity scorecard that’s going around.
Yes that’s right we know about the diversity scorecard. And it’s another failure just like LDP/TDP and placing the children of executives in positions of leadership.
The Stink is dreaming up new ways to S C R E W over US based employees/retirees so the megalomaniac can get that ti---e down his leg. Blondie the Ratbert from HR is no doubt tied at the hip formulating their latest plan for carnage. Except him to release your Christmas present sometime in early December.
Merry Christmas!
No doubt the BoD, who is worse than Ratty & Stink combined, will give the Stink yet another 8 figure bonus for a job well done.
All Hail the Drooling Stink!
Ya'll make sure you keep paying that glorified union, making a fool of you.
Any failure of AT&T's is an execution one NOT a leadership one.
Stankey knows Telecomm, Satellite, Hollywood, and CRT at a mastery level.
Your lack of ability to execute on his expertise is the problem.
