Lmfao! That is exactly what I expect from ATT. Automate it, then it breaks, then it never gets fixed. You can’t make this sh-t up!
Put the blame where it belongs
In 2010 ATT, was still growing and then “we” decided to buy TMobile which failed and created a new competitor since we had to pay then nearly $3billion breakup fee. We then purchased DTV and Time Warner Media for almost. $150 billion (including... — read more
Algorithm for Layoffs
Trying to figure out why the people who get laid off are selected. My guess is pay>hub proximity>age>if you’re a white male. Am I close? lol
Jeremy Legg’s Wave 2 impacted workers:
153 people in Wave 1 made the decision to follow the work. 108 people (about 70%) have not moved or plan to move, with the exception of perhaps the occasional commute. Legg's leadership has repeatedly stated that they have no interest in reviewing... — read more
Culture
When they say culture needs to change… what they are really saying out with the people that built this place and in with the new youngsters, DEI hires, and liberals. They are more interested in social engineering than running a solid business.
No RTO for me
worked 24 years remote for ATT, always great performance reviews and raises...F RTO... Is Gas expensive? How much extra personal time does RTO rob from you? Do you FEEL more productive ...or just feel like an a ss kisser?
There was a time when AT&T treated me well
Too bad its been decades since that's been true. How the mighty have fallen.
Contract Expirations can't come soon enough
I can't wait to go on strike. The time off will be nice.
What is next benefit that AT&T will take away?
Most likely T will stop pension benefit for these who still have it. Any other ideas?

Jeremy Legg RTO Plan
My favorite part is that we can have coworkers who live in a totally different country but having coworkers who live in a different US state? OH THE HORROR!!
Take Jeremy Legg's presentation as a warning: union up
One of Legg's claims from yesterday's presentation on Reclaiming Technical Talent is that the international employees are the same as everyone else. This is a lie. The cost of living in India is cheaper, which makes labor cheaper. That does not make... — read more
New Job Titles
Anyone know why the area manager title was replaced with the title of associate director?
No guilt, no regrets
I left a month ago for lower pay but a better culture and work-life balance. I'm loving it.
Infor su-ks
Feels like I’m being robbed and penny pinched. Gotta constantly di-k around with it. Feels like I’m always at work now. Punch in, pinch out. Fred Flintstone style. Have to approve time. Dig through bad UI to code exceptions. Paying me more to track... — read more

AT&T MVNO JV with Beyonce and Jay Z
Is this going to be exclusive with AT&T?
Jeremy made it clear outsourced "employees" will be replacing some of us.
So it was kinda of comical to see that chart of all our new "overseas co-workers",, the fact he had to stress this labor pool is "employees" not outsourced , pretty much confirms what it really is . The other laughable tidbit was defending this... — read more
Wouldn't it be funny if AT&T needed a contingency plan... for the contingency plan?

A note to Jeremy
As a leader, when you're asked to do things that are immoral, illegal, or conflict with your values, it's your duty to do the right thing, put your foot down and say NO. Even if you have to quit your job to prove the point, at least you will walk... — read more
It’s been a few years

Jeremy’s townhall
“If you don’t like it, leave” beatings will continue until morale improves. It's very fun to see that guy perspire profusely. Asking workers to quit won't raise morale within the company—in fact, you'll only have three left. He must leave! — read more
Deferred Severance hitting today
For those surplused last year and deferred payment to this year. As others have said, net payment about half of gross. Need to wait another year to get your tax refund for the remainder of your money
Why is AT&T constantly undergoing reorgs?
I can't remember a time when there was not a reorg happening, and I've been here a while. Is the leadership truly that incompetent that after any reorg is done we immediately have to start another one to fix what was messed up in the previous one?... — read more

Recommendations for us young ones
I’m honestly curious to see what recommendations you guys have for us younger crowd (those who have been with AT&T less than 5 years). Any advice would be great! As well any recommendations to get out of the company too..

Any idea what we’re looking at? 2% or 3% or less?
