“Hi, this is Jeff from AT&T U-Verse Tier Two Member Care. How may I provide you with excellent service today?”
HAHAHAHAHAHA! Yah, right.
When will Smucky and Pelosi insist that loyal Rat employees of AT&T send this tainted money back?
An instant $200 million boost to local economies.
Winning all around!
Hey! What about the stockholders? Another nickel on the divvy would be nice...
You bet!
What????
But what about the non employees?
This isn’t FAIR at all.
This is NOT as good as it seems. President Trump wants to delay signing until 2018 with the hope the Congress fixes the Medicare reductions that stem from the tax bill. AT&T putting the pressure on the President to sign before Christmas, forcing the Medicare issue in 2018
I’m a happy stockholder (+15% in the last 2 months). For the price of a nickel, I would like them to have happy employees.
Don't be silly. They'll insist they send it to them!
I’d rather have Mobile Gigabit! It’s coming!!!
Maybe they’ll put some money into the Northern Ill infrastructure and got the internet up over 3 Mbps.
Nice...
