Kinda liked the person who posted weekly fluctuations in our headcount. Come back fella, wanna see the impacts of this RTO stuff.
RTO & Hubs - Not New & Just as Disastrous
I am posting because I wanted to share my 2014 experience working for the AT&T Business Marketing Org under Steve McGaw. I had worked in that org for 4 years under Rosie Kitson who was our VP at the time. Our team was filled with top performers who... — read more
IHX layoffs this week
I have heard of ISM layoffs this week. Anyone hear of the same? For all the dip $hits that are going to ask In Home Expert Integrated solutions manager
FTO to FOW without letter
Has anyone else noticed that their designation in webphone has changed from FTO to FOW without receiving a designation letter? I just happened to notice when I was in webphone today checking for another piece of information that I was now FOW. When... — read more
Earnings Call - Where to Watch?
Is it possible to join the earnings call later this week? Is this publicly available online?
Planned Bankruptcy
You think AT&T wants to go into bankruptcy? If they go belly up and get a government bail out they can terminate pensions legally. Part of bail out these company’s are told to end unnecessary spending, pension funds are considered unnecessary... — read more
Contract work
You think AT&T is pushing out all in house labor/craft in favor of cheap contract labor like all the rest of these fiber start ups?
Vote of no confidence
Can we please get the board to issue a vote of no confidence against Stankey. I would rather have the radio shack guy at this point!! Do your job board!! We, the employees of AT&T have NO CONFIDENCE IN STANKEYS LEADERSHIP
Intentionally driving down stock
Stankey is intentionally driving down the stock price for a buyback. Get ready for very bad forward looking statements this week and a large drop. Blackrock buying large at the beginning of August.
Sad to watch
Luckily, I got the offer for a new job when I least expected it. Isn't it sad to see what they have turned this company into? It will probably get even worse.
Retail to Business
Whose idea was it to bring all these retail people to the business channel? They continue to multiply and ruining multiple segments of the channel. They promote their unqualified friends that have no idea how to operate in a business environment... — read more
If it helps any ...
I retired from AT&T 20 years ago and if you have a cell phone from AT&T . Go to T mobile and see what a good deal you get from them ............ even without the employee discount , no joke I'm not kidding .
Why are any of you still there???
Honestly, what needs to happen for you to think, "Hmm, maybe, just maybe it should be time to dust off my resume and get the he-l out of here?" AT&T keeps taking and taking and finding new inventive ways to make everybody's lives miserable and most... — read more
RTO is Purge 1; Toxic Work Environment Purge 2?
This is a campaign. The RTO will shed the first wave. What's next? Stage 2: along with office AI surveillance to measure actions and attitudes, every minute will have to be measured and accounted for. Every job will become an assembly line job. Is... — read more
Another week, more stress at T
Another week is about to begin and I'm already starting to feel the stress and anxiety build up. I remember a time when I could sleep normally the night before Monday but with the direction of the company lately, that hasn't been true for a while. If... — read more
What’s your salary and level?
Since this site is anon and we already know if we saved our 401k or not, let’s see what’s the salary range? I’ll start. Management. L2 and $139K a year. Located in one of the 9 hub but not Dallas or Atlanta.
If the economy doesn’t improve AT&T is a goner.
Hate to say it but the confluence of horrendous choices on AT&T’s part and now the inflationary economy spells doom for this company.
New job interviews
For those that can’t hang around long enough for severance or have a good job opportunity, are you bringing to light the current move to Dallas situation in your interviews? Maybe the new company will provide a sign-on bonus? Or are you thankful that... — read more
Surplus Sept 15
I don't want to see anyone lose their job who doesn't want to lose their job but most of my coworkers and I hope to be declared surplus 9/15 or asap because we want the generous termination plan per our CWA/T contract, which is up to two years pay... — read more
How is Stankey still calling the shots?
Who keeps the balance sheet destroyer in the top slot? At a minimum $100B in shareholder wealth eviscerated with him at top spot and having Randall's C and B in a tight grip.
Surplus/Severance
Was informed June 22, 2023 that I was part of a surplus/severance with my last day on payroll being July 6th. I was management, always a high performer and never been written up for anything. I was also informed by my supervisor that he could not... — read more
‘Live your designation’
Wtf is that supposed to mean?
Surplussed, Really?
They don't even have the ba--s to say "Laid Off". "Surplus" kinda like inventory of left over wood when you build a house. People are not surplus unless you have lost all your humanity. This is as cold as you can get. AT&T's debacle with Time... — read more
They are evaluating all businesses to sell off for quick cash infusion
I have seen presentation packaging up Cricket, Prepaid, and MVNO as a deal to Private Equity. Everything is on the table to throw at the debt mountain.
Dr-g test
If they were really trying to get rid of as many people as possible as you all say over and over. They would start start dr-g testing.
A true mystery
Stankey still having a job is one of life’s great mysteries. It’s up there with the Bermuda Triangle and Big Foot.
Still Don't know What Most Of You Do
I have been coming here for a while basically because AT&T doesn't tell you anything about what is really going on. So coming here gives me the chance to see if others are going through the same bs. I am in the field installing products and dealing... — read more
Surplus and Retirement LOL
26 year surp this month. Just received a packet from Stanky congratulating me on my retirement and pick out a gift. Hits keep coming.
LNS OUT OF REGION
Anyone hear anything about ATT/Gigapower buying or ATT selling the CLEC subsidiary called LNS/OOR/ATT Metro?
7-21 "RTO" Good news and bad news
"RTO" Good news and bad news. On the good side, my Org (part of Mass Markets) was fortunate to get several virtual exceptions and a large number of approved non-hub locations, primarily in call centers who are our client base (logical for... — read more
When we RTO, most won't have anyone there to collaborate with
Shows how stupid Stankey is if he believes that people will collaborate more. There is this wonderful new invention called a telephone you can use fro anywhere to collaborate. Stankey knows nothing about it.
Reach ahead

RTO is a smokescreen for dismantling the remaining parts
Huge cuts today, this week, likely complete by eom. Everything and anything that costs $'s to keep a healthy branded company as a going concern is being cut. It's being prepared to sell off the parts. Massive slash and burn levels now reached. Don't... — read more
Why isn’t anybody commenting on yammer / viva
It’s there for us employees to voice our concerns and questions, especially the ones who have nothing to lose now. But I only see a few people commenting about their concern about the stocks and 16b in cap. Only one person was brave enough to call... — read more
JVB Org
Was anyone impacted today in JVBs org?
Lemme Stank-splain it to you…
All you 25+ years of tenure people joined cellular one, pac bell, ameritech, cingular, bell south, etcetera and likely made loads of money for the business and yourselves. You grew your markets from literally nothing to powerhouses. Then SBMS bought... — read more
Calls, Attendance, Morale
Everything is going downhill. Total apathy is accelerating at a faster and faster pace. Leadership remains mum.
