This truly made my day - I was a employed by AT&T for a little over 12 years in both Seattle and Paramus - When they started paying our bonuses in AT&T stock (Company valued at $45) that was actually worth $12, I knew we were fucked. Then once AT&T Wireless split we got paid in worthless AT&T Wireless stock. Then my job gets outsourced to some jackleg in India and I am offered retirement at age 34. Awesome! Oh, and all that AT&T stock that we got? How about a 2 to 1 Reverse split to take care of that. Oh, and that AT&T Wireless stock that they 'gave' us at $27 - it never peaked above that and we lost it all during the Cingular buyout. So, in short - what you reap, bitches. Thanks for putting a major dent in my retirement plans. I got diarrhea now. . .
