I gave it up today & retired!!
After 33+ years with AT&T, I finally got fed up with them and the "New AT&T". 23 of us retired today and the company spent a total of $400.00 on a luncheon for 100 people...... 776 years of service among us & they spend $17.00 per retiree???? A couple of years ago they would spend up to $150.00 each for a luncheon.
The company is totally different than they used to be. No concern for service, just meet the metrics.... which they cheat on. AT&T is now a sweat shop. It used to be a good place to work. I would no longer suggest AT&T as a career to anyone. Truly a sad day to see an American icon such as AT&T go to the dogs.
The saving grace is I no longer have to pay them any heed. I took my money & RAN!!
Oh yes, I move to the lake on Sunday!!

Management theories taught in the MBA mills produce clones that manage numbers, not people. I see it all the time. Seems OMC was a good example.
ISO= bunch of people that can't get enough of paperwork
Six Sigma= Generic management at its finest. See also ISO
To call some of them douche bags would imply that they have some useful purpose.
I think I'm gonna buy a garbage truck.
Yes you deserved something better than a $17 meal. Enjoy your retirement, you luck &@?!
