One of the morning mantras we used to have to endure was that if our skillsets weren't up to speed for the new AT&T then we stood a good chance of being unemployed by the year 2020. The use of copper wire is all but dead so it stands to reason that if your only skillset is the installation of it then you won't maintain employment for long. AT&T's Uverse sucks so it also stands to reason that if your job is to install a ****** product you wont be employed for long. Also, when one is laid off from AT&T their name goes into a job bank and they are able to apply for other jobs for up to a year while being paid IIRC.
Workforce reduction has been an aim of AT&T's for longer than this POTUSes term.

Nice try though.

What did I specifically try? I just presented some interesting facts. One of which is senior executives believing that a 30% reduction in employees by 2020 is not out of the question.
