What IS the Office of the President?
I've had occasion to speak with people from the Office of the President recently about an issue. I realized I don't know what sort of place they occupy in the scheme of things. A dead end for customer complaints? Where would they be in a corporate structure diagram? Once you wind up there, abandon all hope? Are they a bunch of people sitting at desks outside the President of AT&Ts office? Do they know him? Does he know them? How many of them are there? Who supervises them?
Really, please help with this mystery. Also, a map of the corporate structure might be useful to me.

Perhaps you haven't but SOMEONE is following me around and one starring me, even when my posts are correct and well crafted.

Of course, I think ALL of my posts are correct and well crafted, if not a little cheeky. 😄

@skeeterintexas don't think I'd be flattered by a stalker, seems creepy.
@ham3843 and @skeeterintexas while I think you are both pretty funny, in my experience with children, it is probably neither one of you and you probably need to quit blaming each other. Just watch out for creepy stalkers.
@ohrabbitz I really don't think you'd ever get to the President.

As an old lady (and I do mean OLD!), I'll take being compared to a child any day. 😄

I don't consider starring accordingly for good and poor posts is a bad thing, I do this with plenty of other members too. @skeeterintexas might be a comedian, I'm at best less than funny.
Oh, and my guess is the Presidents Office is actually in some dingy building in Bangalore India.

Actually, THIS is AT&T headquarters in Dallas:
AT&T has a long and proud history with Dallas, going all the way back to Southwestern Bell.
From the AT&T Performing Arts Center which includes the Winspear Opera House, Wyly Theatre, Strauss Square and Sammons Park, to AT&T Stadium (previously Cowboy Stadium) AT&T has a strong community presence in Dallas.

@ham3843 & @skeeterintexas I do apologize if I offended either one of you. I am fairly new here but I have read several of both of your posts and you have my respect. It saddened me to see you both fighting and I was trying to lighten the mood. If I offended I am sorry. That was not my intent.

Those pictures are interesting. Strange that you see no people in them. I always thought AT&T was run by these "non entities" because the problems never seem to stop anywhere, they just keep getting passed around in circles with no one to take the blame and no one to solve them. Kind of like a three ring circus or those cardboard cut outs that take good pictures but aren't really people.
I have heard several rumors that AT&T is in trouble. Anyone else hear anything?
I think AT&T has "evolved" along the lines of the Korn song "Evolution".

No worries! I've got a pretty thick skin & it takes more than a couple of posts on a message board to ruffle my feathers!
I hope you stick around. Other members and specifically ACEs can offer a wealth of information, help & suggestions. I can't remember the last time I called CS. I can either find the answer here or I contact Customer Care via PM.
If we can just be respectful and polite to each other, all will be right with the world.

Yes that is the AT&T HQ where their "executive offices" are located,
The "Office of The President" is not the same thing.....
I know the names of all the AT&T Executives at the HQ but I have NEVER been able to find the name for the "President" of AT&T.

AT&T does not have a "President" or an Office of the President". I don't know where that nomenclature came from. They have "Senior Executives". For a list of all Senior Executives, go HERE Randall Stephenson is Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer.
Since ATT is a publically traded company, all information about his salary (#34 in Forbes top 100 CEO compensation list) and the how the company is structured is readily available if one wants to find it.

Stephenson is the one so against net neutrality, isn't he?
I do think there is someone(s) above him but you will never get to them.
I think Stephenson has run AT&T into the ground. I think we are on a sinking ship.
I hear that the merger with directv was a last ditch effort to save themselves. My financial advisor says that no one is saying it would be a good idea to buy AT&T stock right now.
I have a friend in technology and he says a certain tech company is waitng in the wings to take over once AT&T fails or goes totally wireless, which he thinks will mean the end of them.

Stephenson is CEO and only answers to the shareholders. When you consider that the stock is up 22% from last year, he's sitting pretty.
You're right though. I should have bought when it was $31. It closed Friday at $42.
edit: One star? Seriously? Who would give one star for a factual answer? I don't understand.
