Some are happy to get paid out under the guise of retirement but really we’re tapped to leave. Not enough said yes so more unwelcome notices in the works. Too many PDEs and Architexts with inflated titles and salaries are about to get the boot. Too... — read more
“Open Mic” NJ - Jeremy Legg
Just make sure to bring up the stupid RTO strategy in every town hall with Stankey and his directs, especially Legg. It makes him sweat, it is funny watching him give BS reasons like culture fit and collaboration as key drivers of this strategy. Who... — read more
Midyear report
I’m curious, and please forgive my ignorance - does mid-year reports with managers mean you can get a raise or what is exactly the intention of this?
Out of country on surplus date
What happens if I’m out of the country on PTO on my surplus date? Does AT&T fill out paperwork for me? Is it ok if my COU and laptop are not returned until after I get back from vacation (which might be a few weeks after my LDOP)?
ATT su-ks again…

Stankey, McElfresh, and Legg Heading to NJ for “Open Mic”
They are going to NJ next week for an “Open Mic” … Wonder what the real reason is, any ideas?
Northeast Pa phone service not working
Anyone else having this issue across the country? Here in the Northeast and in Northeast, Pa we have no cell phone service.
Lump sum question
I was searching about something I read, maybe a misunderstanding, at the time did not bookmark. Does anyone know of a change in lump sum payout after 2025? Possibly not offering lump sum pay out after 2025?
Promotions outside of Dallas
Has anyone been promoted, or received a progression outside of Dallas, without being ask to move to Dallas since the New Year?
Duration Logs
Starting this month they have added LAN duration times to the attendance reporting. Leaderships expectation is 8 hours per day, at a minimum 24 hours per week. Less than 24 hours per week will trigger supervisor review.
If the leadership doesn't start making the right moves soon, we're doomed
I wonder, how many bad decisions does it take for a company of AT&T's size to reach the liquidation stage? We've had several monumental ones that cost us billions so far and we're still standing, but for how long? Who's to say that the next id--tic... — read more
Salary question
I've been with the company only a few years and I'm looking to move up in management. I know company at times su-ks but I'm willing to stay around. The question, when you promote, and they submit a a offer, how much more can you negotiate it? Or is... — read more

Chicago Sky and AT&T Sponshorship
Chicago Sky guard Chennedy Carter made an uncalled for flagrant foul against Caitland Carter, with AT&T prominently displayed on Chennedy’s jersey. Maybe AT&T should revoke their sponsorship to the Chicago Sky for their unsportsmanship conduct. — read more
4g not being maintained?
Starting last Wednesday a lot of customers on att were upset as no service on 4g devices, it even made the newspaper. I am dealing with issues as a retired-layedoff whatever I am and have suspensions it may be time to exp.ore other carriers.
MGO Shindig
Anyone on this board in Dallas for the pep rally? How much BS do you think will be spewed over the next few days. From the looks and f the hotel the amount of money spent on this looks insane
You're not seeing the results..
That's the message from leadership, anyway. Instead, you'll see it through new initiatives. Perhaps a renewed RTO push?
When is 401K vested? Will it be vested at EXACTLY the 3 year mark with the company? Or 3 year 1-2 days mark?
I'm leaving the MOMENT i check my fidelity 401k and see "vested amount" equal to the contribution amount. Will it be vested on that exact day of 3 years within the company? Or will it take like 1-2 business days to process? Im so tired of the a-s... — read more

AT&T have no corporate office in Noth California
The San Ramon office is one of the hubs initially but it is closing in few months, are the hub offices merging as well? Are we moving to other geo locations?
Hub employees whining about RTO = lol
Cry us a river. The real pain starts in between the waves, when the tripled work loads starts to compress your stress.
Cost cutting by taking away livelihoods
We all know that the people who made the poor decision to buy Time Warner and then couldn’t get it right — are still here making millions a year. This long article was posted on Alpha who is always ATT favorable. When you hear how well AT&T is doing... — read more

I think our stock did alot better when everyone went to work daily
Now everyone thinks working from home is so good for the company. The stock price is going up as folks come back to work. That is so strange!
Midwest core techs
Where did all the work go? 2 years ago, mandatory ot/ 6 ten hour days mandatory, last year same thing half the year, then bo-m! NO OVERTIME allowed… now we hardly have enough work to keep all the techs busy for 8 hours. Any thoughts?
TMobile Market Cap $200B
ATT Market Cap $126B In 2010 T-Mobile was less than $20B and ATT was $160B John Stankey shouldn't be running a food truck business or anything in between.

Any news on D3 bargaining? August 3 is right around the corner. Thoughts on a layoff in June?
Questions for Stankey on Monday?
Mr. Stankey is hosting an open mic session in Dallas Monday morning. What should I ask him assuming that I get in to the auditorium?
RTO Tustin CA
Any one else in California asked to RTO in June? A few of us project managers were told to start commuting to Tustin.
Remote wireless marketing/product management positions
Are these positions still safe from layoff and relocation requirements? It appears a number of non-hub locations are quite safe. Is this true and is this a long-term strategy?
