Your World. Delivered.

I used to work with a bunch of former AT&T managers. If you knew these people, it would make perfect sense why AT&T doesn't have a next-gen plan that works.

Short-sighted, myopic oafs, they are. The whole lot of them.

At T, covering your ass is job #1. Nothing else matters. You attend meetings, schedule more needless meetings, talk in buzzwords strung together to look like coherent sentences, shit on the employee on a lower rung than you while you try your damnedest to deflect shit being hurled in your direction from the employee on a higher rung than you.

There is no time to think of customers or the good of the company when self preservation is at stake.

The ONLY reason this company is still in business is because of the shamefully lacking regulatory oversight and the lobbying they've been able to buy with their deep pockets. In a truly open, competitive, free market, AT&T would have died years ago. It almost did after the 1996 telecom act was passed.

The gang of former managers I used to work with? Well, they sucked dry the company where we worked together and have moved on to other companies.

They're a lot like the aliens from Independence Day...they are parasites who move from one host company to another, leaching all its life force and leaving only ruins behind them.

Re: Your World. Delivered.

Technically, ATT DID die, remember that they just changed their name.....

Close, SBC bought them and kept the at&t name which I though was stupid. They should have let the name die!

The name doesn't matter to me, all that matters is if the service is reliable, has good customer's support, and have good internet speed and good prices.

Re: Your World. Delivered.

True, I have had good support from at&t as I should say I am on former SBC/Ameritech were I am at. As far as speed goes, all I get is dialup at the house and it is normaly 19.2k and on a good day it may get up to 24k.

What's the difference? They were all messed up. I worked at two predecessor entities myself and it was a clusterfuck.
