Come on Zas, when are you gonna do something about the share price? We are sick of it, I should have sold off all my shares when at&t unloaded this mess on you. This company is a dumpster fire.

If I don't get a better offer soon, I don't know how longer I can endure this much pressure doing a triple workload. They are literally testing our limits. Perhaps their goal is to have as many people as possible leave voluntarily?

The stock keeps plummeting with every move they make and some of you think they're doing a good job? Don't make me laugh. Their attempt to cut costs on account of deleting stuff and turning their back on women and minorities is costing much more than... — read more

WBD is well on its way to becoming a penny stock. I think Zas is in way over his head. He started out by paying way too much to at&t for the WM acquisition.

With lay-offs just around the corner many of our younger staff are leaving and I can't blame them. I'm a long time employee of WBD, originally from Turner, and this is my 4th merger and by far the most painful. Its just a bunch of busy work since we... — read more
