Thanks Obama
Not to mention that AT&T has just slashed dealer compensation effective 7-1-10.
Thank you!
Any other dealer principals are to weigh in? Bojmir....where are you?

I don't think at&t cutting your pay has 100% to due with healthcare tax breaks being taken away from big business. It probably has more to do with at&t trying to satisfy shareholders interests since success is based on a quarterly basis and at&t using that as an excuse. I atleast hope they didn't pass the blame to Obama when they told you why they were cutting your payouts. That would just be silly.

I haven't heard of any pay decreases for agents, but I just manage a store and have no idea what changes they are going to make on July 1st.

Teabagger? Gas soaked cross and hood?
And HE is the one thats wrong? Seriously?
You want ignorance... look in the mirror.
YOU are the one that's throwing out the racists, purposefully inflamatory, and blatantly deragatory statements.
F U and YOUR racism for simply disagreeing politically with what a horrible president is doing to our country.

🤣 🤣 🤣 LMAO @ YOU! OH, C'MON! I KNOW YOU'RE JUST MAD! 😁
It's not because of how well republicans are doing per'se...
It's because of how piss-poor horrible Democrats are doing.
With the President leading the garbage from the front.
Taking care of the Oil Spill? nope... to busy pushing talking points about how oil is bad...
Real leadership there.
Yet I'm probably racist for not thinking he's doing a good job 🙄
One thing I don't like is Obama intereferes way, way too much with state politics, the executive branch of the government shouldn't interfere with state politics, that's one of the things about this country that makes it great, seperation of state and federal governments!!!

OMG! I'm so tired of you people blaming Obama for EVERYTHING! It's quite annoying, especially when you've been silent about the things George W did! I guess it's better to kill Iraqi people for their oil and to make them as euoropean as possible, is better than insuring americans who get denied health coverage! ...

Obama is at over a month now...
Yeah... good leadership. 🙄 🙄 🙄
*YOU* are the one talking about skin color. *NOT* the original poster.
Stop playing the innocent victim. It makes *YOU* look like a racist retard.
AT&T does what AT&T does for a variety of reasons... Health Care costs increasing a billion+ SURELY would have NOTHING to do with possibly pay changes/cuts/fires/hiring freezes? Absolutely nothing... Blame AT&T for being greedy. *Rolls eyes*
You are the racist: instead of admiting that a health care plan that will cost AT&T a billion dollars or more might have an effect - you scream about skin color LEAVE THE POOR BLACK MAN ALONE!!! It's the EVIL CORPORATE G...

You're comparing a natural disaster(katrina) to something caused by lack of government regulation/oversight and corporate irresponsibility and other shady dealings with regulators.. It isn't Obama's job to clean up the mess of BP, but it is his administrations job to prosecute BP and make big government even bigger and regulate oil companies so we can avoid these problems in the future.
PREACH! I couldn't have said it better! 😁

Couldn't agree more
The crux of the situation... is that this is past the point of disaster, natural or not.
Look at pictures of the oil hitting land... all up and down the coast. It will only get worse.
What has the President done? Beyond spewing talking points about Big Oil?
Where is the response? Where is the leadership?
George W. was skinned alive for taking 3 days to respond... we are *WELL* past that and NOTHING is being done.
Stop the oil leak? Determine the impact? Clean up the oil?
Nothing.
Hypocracy.
I disagree whole heartedly on Big Government needs to get bigger. Every instance of big gove...
(continues)
I disagree that the governments response needs to be equal to a natural disaster like katrina for now. Its BP's responsibiity to stop the leak, do an EIS, and clean up the mess. Why should tax payers pay more to clean up the mess when we already give oil companies billions in subsidies.
There are few instances where I think the Government should step in.
If a truck wrecks and spills oil on the ground? Sure it'll effect a few people. Not a natural disaster.
Plane crashes? Train wreck? Boat sinks? Same deal... sad to see bad things happen, but not something that needs government help.
This oil "spill" is going to affect thousands of towns... possibly millions of people.
It's not a "natural" disaster, but it is a big enough disaster that it's going to be beyond the scope of a single company to "fix".
The government is going to have to do *SOMETHING*. Bill, tax, reprimand, destroy the company AFTER. Make sure they are held responsible.
To think that BP will be...
(continues)
Okay. That's agreed on. Anyone can disagree with the President.
YOUR response was an attack on... nothing related to his post.
Where in his post was anything REMOTELY regarding the Tea Party movement?
Or his skin color?
or the fact that the OP has a gas covered cross with a white hood?
Quote THAT please.
Obama pushed a Health Care bill... that will cost AT&T a billion dollars... and that billion dollars will, at least in part, be responsible for possible job cuts.
Their is *NOTHING* racist in the Original post. *YOU* are the racist. *YOU* are the bigot. *YOU* are a POS troll.

I would probably choose the pretty face, as I care more about talking and spending time with said person. A little extra weight don't bother me, personally.
More realistically and seriously... I'm more concerned about enjoying my time with my significant other.
While all my GF's, past and present, haven't been 10's - they have all been pleasant to look at. It's much more important to have stuff you enjoy doing together and a basic commonality.
I'd rather enjoy my time with a 6... than spend time with a 10 I wanna stab in the eyeball... with a rusty spoon...
Here's a peachy story for you.
I have a friend who has leukemia and responding posiively to treatment. He has been engaged for two years but under the old healthcare insurance policies if he actually got married he couldn't stay on his parents insurance plan and wouldn't be able to get coverage and would be un-insured. Under the new healthcare bill he can get married and still stay on his parents insurance plan!! Isn't that a positive thing??
I won't argue about positives of health care (of any form).
I will argue that I don't want the government controling *THAT* much of the economy and *MY* life.
There are better ways to go about it.
Threatening jail time to someone who doesn't sign up for coverage isn't the right way.
Driving up the costs for businesses across the board isn't the right way (Business cost more to run... guess what... less people get hired.)
More importantly... the Federal government using powers it doesn't Constitutionally have... is not the right way.
No Child Left Behind is a good example... look at the failure that that is. Where is the power to do that? Good intentions... bad ...

Luckily now, if you get hit by a bus or say..get cancer...you're likely to get better care with Obama's health care bill.
Do you actually need something to happen to you to understand how important healthcare is for everyone, including YOU?
For having majored in constitutional law @ Harvard, it's kinda strange that he thinks he can put people in jail, or fine them if they refuse to get healthcare, some states are fighting that!

😲 AND GUESS WHO'S GIVING THEM THE "REDBULL" ENERGY TO FIGHT THAT FIGHT!? THE INSURANCE COMPANIES! It's funny how people try to deny health coverage to others when the elected state officials have health insurance paid for by the people they're trying to block from getting it! What an American!

Don't mind the Constitution.
Just sweep it under the rug in the name of the little man.
It's a bad law period. ANything that threatens jail time against someone who refuses to participate in something that is supposedly "healthy" is a bad law.
Let those fatties join those evil Marijuana dealers in prison eh? That'll show em for enjoying that unhealthy twinkie.
Watch the bill for this... bill continue to skyrocket. Both in the form of Health Care costs for you and me... (you think that forcing everyone onto health care will make it cheaper? it's already too expensive...)
and in the cost to do business (billion dollar hit, to start with, for big companies... what about the little guys that can't afford that hit?)
And in the cost to fund it via the Government. This country is already headed to bankruptcy. Lets sign a stimulus bill THEN a health care bill THEN god knows what is going to come out of this...
(continues)
This isn't people trying to block other's from getting it. These are INDIVIDUALS saying they don't want to get insurance for themselves.
This is basically like someone throwing YOU in jail because you refuse to drink 8 glasses of water a day.
Preventative healthcare ends up costing a lot less than treating serious illnesses. If people have to have insurance they are much more likely to seek preventative care which is better for society in the long run.
Really?
Seriously?
Because that is where this will head.
Want that extra large soda? To bad. Your HPO says you've past your limit.
Want those french fries? So sad.
Eat that second twinkie? Your going to jail buddie. Right next to the Marijuana dealser and murderers.
Yeah... that's really the life I want to lead. Controlled by the idiots in Washington who care more about kick backs that line their pockets than honest helpful legislation.
Although, I do think that we should tax empty calorie junk food that is killing us. Gotta pay for subsidized healthcare somehow 🙂
You want to lower healthcare costs across the board? Make smoking punishable by death. Effective? Yes. The right thing? Not by a long shot.
I think if people are really sick, they have the right to treatment. But I know people who have their kids at the doctors every other week, constantly on meds, and they wonder why their immune systems are so weak.
affordable healthcare is a goal we should all work towards, healthcare that's so inconsequential that you go if you have the SNIFFLES can be just as harmful as no healthcare at all.

#2) Let the people who do not participate in the system and take care of themselves just die.
The bottom line is that our current system of: Get coverage if you can, but if you end up in an ER after an uninsured car accident we'll spend $100,000 to save your life and pass it on to the taxpayer because "American society values all life" WILL NOT WORK.
Personally, I prefer the individual mandate with REASONABLE price controls (the current legislation has unreasonable price controls). People should take care of themselves, and children born with long-term semi-expensiv...

It will work out better for 'most' agents.
You will be paid on features you didnt sell on existing customers.
Most markets are around a 30%/60% gross to upgrade ratio.
One of the biggest complaints from agents was not being whole on upgrade customers, specifically smartphones, because you cant add data.
Its been a while. I am frustrated, because I fit in the "other category". I am fortuane enough to do a 2:1 ratio of new to upgrades. So I am going to take a blistering over this.
Hope all is well.

My attempt of this post was simply to address frustration. Not to be political. Its simply.... cause and effect. Regardless of who is on office.
The audacity of defying the majority of the public for a peace of legislation is un- believeable. There is a reason why capitolism has existed for over 230 years.
To Cahnnelphone. I am not a tea party memeber. Conservative and fiscal conservative. I am not a racist and believe in small goverment.

I haven't heard what dealer comp changes are going into effect. I'm sure I won't be told till the last week of the month. Can you give me a quick run down of what changes are coming?
Thanks!

This is because companies DO NOT EXIST as something to be taxed, they will ALWAYS pass the cost on.
There was no other option but to pass the costs on. That's how corporation's work. Period. You're not taxing the CEO's, so why should they pay out of their own pockets? The government is stupid enough to try to tax a business. How will the business pay? They either reduce their costs (pay less to employees) or increase their profits (charge more for services). They don't go to the boss and say 'pay up.'
But, I agree; we should not tax businesses. We should raise taxes on the rich significantly. Back when the taxes on the rich were high, they still lived in luxury, and we had the money to get stuff done.
Maybe cutting military spending would be a good idea, too, but that's probably just me.
They should tax FINAL goods only. Yes, it would mean a 25%+ sales tax, but all things being equal, costs would go down, and it would be a lot harder for the rich to escape paying taxes.
I happen to have locations in different markets, it's interesting to see the differences in compensation. One market, i get comp on existing features, the other i do not. But one thing that is the same is there is only one pay structure for upgrades and activations. Which is bad for some and good for most. This is good for all but one location of mine. But it has netted me a larger commission check so its hard for me to complain but i can def see your frustration Will.
