I’m finally leaving even though I expected to be laid off and even wished for it. But instead of getting laid off, I watched the company cutting colleagues who were trying to keep their jobs.

The “moral” of the story. ..
AT&T does not reward hard work, The real rewards that AT&T pays for is corruption that is hard to discover. I've learned this though two decades of observation. Mo, Randy, Arnoldi and John S and little Papa Bear, John Stankey, and many others I can't name due to the rules of this website. Does anyone think this company has the integrity that the COBC forces down our throat.?
