Jeremy earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from Brown U. He hears technology talk in all the forums, and his mind goes blank. Sorry his mind is blank. Take a science class Jeremy !

I’ve heard from a few people today that some platinum teams were given notice today. Has anyone heard anything?

I’ve already got my marching orders so what do I have to lose - what questions do you want asked at the Stankey Town Hall next week?

Non Event here in Atlanta. Pray for the people in North Florida.

Now that Dell announced 5-day RTO you can bet T's HR is working overtime to craft a similar plan... Let's see if T can be a leader and not a follower, with all these corporate policies. I want to say T is managed by too many old school boomer types... — read more

All days of this week have been rumored. Nobody is really certain as to which wave it is now. I, for one, have no clue what is going on or which wave or phase are we in. I have just been keenly aware, and managed to accept that as a fact, that I can... — read more

Translation....Lots of dead weight management layoffs.

Effective date 11/1/24. Drove past it last weekend. Didn't realize the HQ was so big. What is it like working there? Is there open parking? Who do I contact onsite to find out which floor I should go to?

Looks like the SSP will pay around $1200 Monday to each bargained employee in district 6 due to the stock appreciation over the 12 months.

I would’ve thought it would’ve come by now before the annual compensation deferral cycle in October. Are they getting laid off soon? I haven’t seen changes.

Some colleagues of mine want to quit because they are fed up. Recent stream of layoffs in the background of the strike didn’t help how people feel about working at T. We all are in fear for our livelihoods, but we shouldn't allow fear to make us... — read more
