to see the 100 Best Companies to Work for.
Guess what number AT&T is. Hint they are below # 96 who is T-Mobile.
They are below SRA International who is # 100. That 's right they, AT&T,
did not even make the top 100.
Those are the facts! AT&T should not be comparing themselves to Chrysler, Ford or GM!
It is true that Comcast is our competition but note they are # 68 on Fortune 500 list generating
$34.256 Billion in revenues and $2.547 Billion in profit.
We built this company and made it what it is today. We should not have to grovel for a raise or
for our Health Care benefits. Don't let anybody tell you any different! You should proudly tell all who
will listen HOW PROFITABLE AT&T IS!
Remember AT&T only made $3.1 Billion profit in the first quarter of 2009 and they want more!
Tell them not from my pocket. Raising Health Care costs to employees is a bad idea!
