| If the "old AT&T" was so good... quote:
"The old SBC managers are stuck way back in time! Having been an AT&T employee in a cutting edge company, we now all feel we have travelled back about 30 years after the SBC acquisition."
The "old SBC managers" bought your company after the "old AT&T managers" practically ran it into the ground.
The only thing that was "cutting-edge" about AT&T Corp. before SBC bought it were the job cuts.
Great to see those who were lucky enough to keep their jobs are now crying about having to actually GO INTO AN OFFICE.
Boo-friggin-hoo. |

SBC taking over is exactly like walking 30 years into the past. Here are just a few examples:
1. Bloated mangement structure. In some areas there are more managers then people actually doing the work (I'm not union, I'm management).
2. Seperate billing systems for each state dating back to the 1970's. Ameritech had a single unified system for their entire region.
3. No automated collection system. They were processing delinquent accounts by hand! Fully automated with Ameritech.
4. Sold off Ameritech Wireless, at the time the most advanced wireless network in country.
I could keep going on and on and on, but the bone headed backwardness coming out of Texas is too much for one post. |

Well, considering the current state of the Banking industry right now, guess, and if you guessed more than 2 or 3 on a scale of 10, with 10 being the best, you don't share my opinion. |

1 edit | Apparently we don't share the same opinion, but then I try to focus on how one company does vs the rest of the industry. Especially given that Bank of America wasn't caught up in the mortgage crisis directly (other than to assist in some bail outs), given their relative wisdom in the industry, yes I do think they tend to do a good job.
Or were you stating your opinion of Bank of America's management based on the fact that they simply are a bank?
