My collaboration skillz are so good now!!!
“ It’s because this is what they want him to do.”
Reality check, that’s exactly what is happening. The orders are coming from wall St and Blackrock. Ever look at the other RTO mandates of the other companies? It’s like they are following verbatim from a script and read exactly like what all our communications have been. It’s about maintaining corp real estate portfolios and cutting costs by reducing headcount. They figured you quiet quit, they will quiet fire you by making your life miserable so you’ll leave. That’s fine. We can play the game, just have to know there’s a game happening. It’s not about innovating, cutting costs or anything. The top line metrics are all what your presence report says, so say the bosses as that is the main focus. Easiest way to meet goals is to 5x8 in office. Anything else you do is just so you aren’t bored while you’re there because they really don’t care as long as the lights stay on. 8 and skate, it can wait.
He is getting ready to sell this pig. The board and Stink will have a nice payday and we will loose more heads.
"The Board is complicit in this monumental catastrophe. They devalued our company by half and now can’t afford to reinvest in ourselves."
Totally agree. Anywhere else, the Stank would be gone. He was directly at table for T-Mobile debacle, DirecTV acquisition, Time Warner acquisition and now for easily the worst culture we've ever had. Someone needs to hit up a reporter and connect all the damn dots for them. Shine a light on our Board that have been here approving all this cr-p - many of them for each of these decisions. We have executives openly telling their direct reports we need to be below 100,000 employees. Then do it. Why the death by quarterly cuts? Our Board offers nothing. Oh well, at least I'm here on a Friday though. Time to collaborate!
Stinky made a comment about needing less people on payroll that had knowledge of the yellow pages and rotary phones. Dude… those are the only people keeping the company going right now. Maybe look in the mirror and start there.
The problem is as employees we focus on our day to day responsibilities, while being completely ignorant to what leadership is doing at the helm.
One day you wake up and realize those steering the ship have driven you directly into an iceberg.
While we were all doing our jobs, our leadership has destroyed the monopoly we work for.
They took a company that couldn’t fail and did the impossible.
Drowned us in debt with nothing rise to show for it.
John is responsible for this all and yet there he sits.
I saw a ver interesting interview recently with Mark Zuckerberg talking about how he isn’t a typical ceo who has to worry about not getting fired from the board.
Got me to thinking, if that’s who a ceo is accountable to, how have they not made him accountable by now?
Why do they continue to regard him?
It’s because this is what they want him to do.

The decisions have already been made. We are in damage control. Regardless of how Johnnie’s about our fundamentals. Financially, we’re hanging on by a thread.
Imagine a fox (the CEO) entered the hen house and instead of getting rid of the fox to save the chickens, you gave the fox a fork and a kn--e. The AT&T way.
