Pros

Salary keeps the golden handcuffs tight.

Cons

Years of dedicated brain trust and loyalty, flushed by old boy club politics at levels 3 and 4.

Advice to Management

Senior management has it right... Mostly.

But their initiatives are crippled and neutered by middle management filters. Senior management needs to do "under cover boss" investigations of the front line. If they cleaned up this bloated waste, AT&T could afford coffee and creamers for their staff and still break growth records every quarter.
