Not exact, but close. We need younger people working at this company because that’s the market starting to mature in decision making levels…….. ……this is an opportunity for us to think about that it’s hard to say goodbye to that which we know and... — read more
ATT makes widgets in Atlanta and Dallas
Demography, all the brains are in India now.
Call for action. Its time to unionize!
I think it's time for the HQ workers to call for a union. The RTO is clearly just another effort to surplus employees. For the workers that are left, its like the wild west to fight for parking and a desk somewhere in the building. We should... — read more
The Big Show and Layoffs

Fire Your Boss
This is AT&T and if you are going to be surplussed you need to know now that your boss is your boss and not your friend. And he probably had a hand in you being picked to go unless your whole team was chosen. You need to call HR and report the things... — read more
Dietsch - if you don't stay til the end, no severance
For wave 1 people - if you don't move you're off payroll before November 2. If you find another job before then, even on November 1, you can leave but you won't get severance.
401K Question
Someone can confirm this but I think employees are vested in the company's 401k matching contribution once they are at AT&T for 5 years OR if they turn 65. My question is do you get the 401k match if you get laid off - oh, I mean surplussed :/ -... — read more
Most Companies are RTO
Almost all companies are RTO at least 3-4 days a week. We are no different.
Numbers
If the RTO and hub strategy is going to be the answer to a significant number of Johns woes, where are the projected numbers to back it up? X dollars saved be X date. X dollars generated by X date as result of collaboration/synergy of being back... — read more
matrix for telecommuting days?
A matrix has been created to specify how many days for telecommute are allowed based on the length of the week without time off or holidays. Has anyone else seen it? If the week with time off and holidays sums to 4, lose 1 telecommute day. If... — read more
When in 2024 does the MOA Expire
There has been a lot mentioned about the MOA protecting union workers inside and outside from layoffs. When in 2024 does it expire? Does it only apply to the SE region?
Ring Central said No Mo to Katibeh
No so-called leader from AT&T can survive in the real world. Even the Lily actress got smacked with the AT&T sh-t stick and is stuck doing these lame commercials.
Is this Lead Cable thing going to bite employees in A$$?
I know they will justify less benefits or layoffs as a result of this controversy.
Who has a better personal brand?
Fearless Leader Stankey or... Murray the amorphous cartoon blob that gives away mousepads for not being an imbecile with sensitive company information?
Craft optimization
So, does anyone know what the solution will be for craft people? Everyone is hearing unsubstantiated rumors but nothing factual. Outside techs, inside techs?
Mass chaos in St. Loius
A leaked email says all their jobs are moving to Dallas or ATL by the end of 2024; no revisiting, no looking at data, the jobs are moving. It's been fun watching this organization litterly burn itself to the ground.
sweat Shop
AT&T strives to be a sweat shop of widget producers.
Why are installers so lazy ?
Why is it when tv & internet orders are placed and the box for tech assistance is also checked - our installers fail to do their job ? They need to get off their high horse and pull their cranium out of their external exit cavity region.
Anxiety and depression
Is it just me, or does it seem that anxiety and depression are on the rise among T employees? It's sad how we have all accepted that having our mental health ruined by work is normal and part of life. I've been here long enough to know that there was... — read more
JVB not leaving but being planted
To the person that posted she was going to US Cellular…. You are wrong. She is going to RingCentral before the AT&T buys them out. Just like she did when she left AT&T in 2012 to be the CEO of Cricket. In 2014, AT&T bought Cricket and her to be back... — read more
Pass the Jelly!
Goes well on top after the peanut butter is completely spread on. Now they just need to spread more on the upper crust, the bottom and middle has been covered.
A voluntary severance package
Since it is obvious that the company wants to quickly reduce the number of employees, why not offer a voluntary severance package? I believe that the numbers of people who would accept it would be significant.
Any news on reorgs? Townhall meetings today?
With VPs leaving - starting with Santone and William Stovall and others coming, any major announcements about re-orgs?

Completely out of touch
Is there a CEO who is more out of touch with his or her workforce than Stankey? I don't think that's even possible.
F*** AT&T!
I have worked for AT&T for over two decades. I worked from home for the last 14 years after my son was born with diagnosed with severe learning/emotional disabilities. We pay (part insurance, part out of pocket) for a full-time caregiver, as my... — read more
Who is responsible for monitoring Caregiver time off in AT&T?
Our team is 12 strong on paper, but we have 4-5 people frequently claiming time off for Caregiver responsibilities. We didn't see this abuse before Covid. Now every AM seems to be afraid to question it. Last week 2 people took the same 2 days and... — read more

Outsourcing is a reality. There are departments that are completely outsourced, nothing unusual. It is unnecessary to talk about the results of such a business strategy here, because we all see that the ship is sinking. I'm just curious how much... — read more

Our future employers (possibly) are looking at this site and are contemplating whether they would hire someone from T with all the whining they are doing about having to work. Not a pretty picture being shown on here.
AT&T Annihilator Cup Championship
So, oddly enough, this is the name of a gaming prize. The winner was announced on August 1. Some kid with a typical Gen Z handle picked up $100K, enough to pay for a semester, maybe two, at most private colleges today. But if it's called the... — read more
