It seems like it’s been a sh-t show since divestiture. Am I wrong?

if you've been here since pre divestiture, you shoulda retired 10 years ago
It’s time to start living in the past. It’s time for each one of us to focus on the future.
AT&T Wireless c. 1998 when Dan Hesse was CEO.
Sounds like the RBOCs were the place to be, except SBC. A shame that the anti-trust issue didn’t hold, divestiture should never have been undone.
We are not AT&T - it is rebranded SBC. This is where innovation and creativity comes to die.
Same here, former Bellsouth not perfect but was a great company till Mr. Ackerman 60 mill golden parachute and company shived us. Sold out to SBC been in decline and became a toxic hellhole since that day.
For me, it was 1997 when SBC purchased PacBell (where I worked). After that PacBell was in a noticeable decline until it went off the cliff with the purchase of DirectTV and Time Warner. Very sad outcome for a company I used to be proud of.
