Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Culture of yes men has been ATTs demise into 3rd and 4th place

  • Tmobile
  • DTV
  • Warner Media
  • HBO needs to be more like Netflix. Less quality and more quantity.
  • $150 Billion in shareholder value eviscerated in 12 years.
  • Zero accountabilty on the part of Stankey. It is all "We need to", "The Market Changed", "No one could have forseen"
  • In a few tearsbthe next lemon will come along all polished up and Stankey wont contain himself.
  • Dealmaking, Strategy, Vision are not Stankeys strong points.
  • Apparently no one on the board or in his inner circle has ever informed him or steered him correctly to simply not do anything becausebyou are a tornado through operations and the balance sheet.
  • At ATT you dont question bad ideas from above, you push them through to the financials and forget about them.

Need to be more like Netflix.....ha ha

Ugh. Add to the list of JS’s failures the decision to opex the network vs the capex investment VZN made which completely opened up the performance gap with LTE. Does anyone remember that marketechture T had around 5G to appear more advanced than they really are?

@1ovy+1grL2VhA is spot on. Ask young people if they are interested in watching "Friends", they will look at you like you were from mars. Great premium content from the 90s, no one cares now, get a clue.

I woke up and went to work. Then I got paid. Got woke, got paid.

The saying is "get woke, go broke." ATT paid the full price of their woke ideals.

No one could have foreseen the collapse of DIRECTV or WarnerMedia. Well, except maybe every middle class parent since 2015. Me: “Hey kids! I got us $10 DIRECTV and FREE HBO Max.” Kids: “Hey Boomer, YouTube, TikTok, Vine, Instagram are ALL FREE! Plus, I watch them on my phone and have no need for your silly set top box! I am watching my classmates eat TidePods and have no interest in your 40,000 titles of Tom & Jerry and Abbot & Costello reruns!”

T doles out big bucks to these AI strategy wiz tool vendors, with no ROI.

Who is going to poke the bear (Stankey)? You have got to massage his ego at all times, reassuring him that he knows everything about everything. Anyone unable or unwilling to do this will receive their walking papers.

Please, no innovations. Just give me the cell phone service and internet. Let the whiners complain about innovation.

To think there are people who actually wonder why T can't innovate any more.

Lots of underperforming malcontents. Gotta get rid of those people who don't want to be here anyway.

AT&T will eventually end up like GE! There are a lot of people being paid millions to make bad decisions. The thing about AT&T is that bad management is insulated against incompetence!!!

Nobody willing to go up against Stankey, the result is instant termination. Stankey rules by intimidation, he knows it all, unable and unwilling to consider any other viewpoints. Sad, very sad.

Told HBO visionary and leader that he didn't know what he was doing. That visionary was scooped up by Apple in a second. Stankey would see the Model T factory and a fleet of them coming at him from down the road and still pour money into the horse and buggy industry to great greater ecomoncies of scale and bargaining power on buggy whips and wooden wheels.
