I just see very few VPs that are inspiring or even successful
They just tow the line and it's the same old drab day in and day out. It's like the walking dead in RTO except for the few id--ts who don't do much but buy into all this Executive nonsense. Slash heads, worry about fallout later, move stuff to India... — read more

Every call I am on with Jennifer Robertson her voice sounds
Like she is about to break down and cry. Gets all snarky and defensive as well. It's probably constructed by Stankey but this whole attitude of suppressing ideas or alternative ways of thinking or there is the door has pretty much shut down the... — read more
Mismanaged and disorganized
I swear, there should be an AT&T logo next to the words "mismanaged" and "disorganized" in a dictionary. We're a textbook example for both, thanks to Stankey.
To all bargained for employees ...
Please strike! You already know the company is going to do everything they can to take away. You will make up the lost salary in OT after you come back. Give us "contingency" workers a little vacation too. We can't fight back so your fight helps us... — read more
Best thing to have happened to me, and others
I left T in 2022. No plan, no "other job", no back up plan. The motivation was not to lose 40% of my pension. Best decision I've ever made. After 4 job interviews, I was able to leverage my experienced gained at T after 24 years and got hired on... — read more
The AT&T RTO Problem

Lack of professionalism across the board
I guess when you systemically get rid of the people who are professionals, know what they're doing, and care about doing a good job, what you have left is a bunch of folks who are just looking to get the day over with and don't care how they do it... — read more

Managers & employees** Start Fighting back
https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/guidance/enforcement-guidance-retaliation-and-related-issues#Work_Related
So many Directors, AVP's, VP's came up through the ATT System they will manage to
the scorecard and not to the bottom line. It's what they do, it's all they know. Hammer meets nail. Someone is outside of the box and crushing it they don't know what to do with that person, they are an outlier on charts and must be tamed.

How are people selling AIA-B this fast?
I’m honestly curious, I saw that there is already 9 sales of AIA-B and much more. There is no way in he-l they’re able to do that this quick. I’m a BAT seller and the idea of selling this is just not even worth it to me. Rumor says that we’ll be... — read more

What Caused the Delay in Naming March Surplus Targets?
Why the delay? Was this in recognition of Palm Sunday?
Im getting laid off because i wont relocated to Dallas or ATL, my replacement has been approved for an office with non of my team
My backfill was approved for office locations where none of my team works, and they'll be on teams calls all day long, yet I can't do the same thing from my location. Make it make sense... RTO is asinine.
