You have to give props to Randall Stephenson and his leadership team, after the tax bill was a done deal no hesitation in sharing the bigger pie.

Also not a bad move when you’re looking for a favorable outcome in a critical merger hearing.......,

GO T!!!!!!!!

Wait. I thought that companies were going to be raising wages not giving out one time bonuses with a fraction of the total they will be saving under the new tax law.

I was told that companies would be hiring more people and raising wages if we could just pass the tax bill.

I couldn’t imagine being this miserable, that I couldn’t even be happy for someone else getting a nice bonus from a Fortune 500 company

Quite the opposite of miserable but thanks for the concern. Why didn't AT&T announce a 3% raise across the board for all of these people instead on a one time bonus? Raising wages and JOBS was how this bill was sold to us.

I can tell you why they didn't. It's because this bill will have no impact on what any of the Fortune 50 companies pay their employees.

It was sold to me because I could keep more of my own money.

So the day the bill is signed into law and one year away from accruing any benefit, you haven't seen enough?

They also announced that they would add a new $1 billion capital expenditure. That creates new jobs

The bill was just passed a few hours ago.

Are you saying the AT&T announcement of giving over 200,000 employees a $1,000 bonus is evidence that no new hires will be made and no raises will be given in the coming year?

You look stupid. And desperate.

You want us to educate you on capital investment, productivity, and wage pressures on a message board post?


Frankly, I truly do not care if you "get it" or not.


The growth of U.S. REAL wages has been tied directly to the competitiveness of its business environment. That is the only hint I'll give.


I truly am not unhappy that you are confused. Your boat gets to rise, anyway.
