CCIE water cooler gossip: Is AT&T cutting CCIE pay by 33% or more?

A CCIE provided yours truly with the following CCIE gossip:

"Dear Brad,"

"AT&T CCIE employees are leaving in droves."

"With the merger of AT&T and SBC, SBC has cut the bonus money that keep many CCIE’s at AT&T, (Base + up to $50k bonus)."

"So with a 33% or more cut in pay, they are leaving."

"As Cisco’s biggest VAR this causes a number of problems for Cisco and AT&T equipment sales."

Cisco declined to comment, while AT&T has not responded to a request for comment.
