AT&T reviews

So big, makes change slow and cumbersome; but change is constant and frustration can be too; organizational communication is often lacking and change is made with no input from 2nd/1st level managers. It's a dictatorial management style that still drives the company. Unfortunate. We can be GREAT - but need to look at unneccessary and excessive layers of management. Keep people based on talent, contributions, effectiveness - not politics. Build an engaged, innovated, progressive culture that allows the enterpreneurial spirit to live and where people are rewarded based on their work. That takes trust - up and down and across the board. We've got a lot of work to do in that respect. (Too many mergers - too many insecure, threatened managers in the midst of endless reorgs and downsizing. Hard times.)

Beauracratic, good old boy politics from the Atlanta office. The mandates they would send were so 1974 and were an insult. The truth is that the AT&T Wireless employees were smarter than 90% of the Cingular employees, that was clear from day one of the acquisition. They would have two or three people doing the same job that one AT&T Wireless person was doing - talk about bloated payrolls!
