I checked another level up and they don't know anything. One more level up and they don't know anything. No one knows anything other than to tell you to check with someone who doesn't know anything. Almost like a typical workday in the ATT Office... — read more 

ATT leadership can sit on it and rotate? Hey Stanks and Van Buzzer choke on a fat one you two losers. $16B is slip sliding away......

Washington DC is keeping him there for access to Americans activity. No buffoon this bad would last thing long unless there was someone in the swamp who wants him there as an agent against America.

Topheavy, old school management with no out of box thinkers. Trying to make the company “look like” a high tech firm, instead of just going out and doing. Not adding value for customers. Not innovating new business ideas - taking the... — read more 

Did anyone else receive their last paycheck this morning. Shorted a weeks pay and not off of payroll till end of this week?

For decades, AT&T has been opening new call centers (new employees, lower starting pay) and closing older call centers (veteran employees, higher pay). The tactic is in the call center leadership textbook. AT&T makes a big deal about “commitment to... — read more 

Yeah, I can't understand why people keep saying this bs about not getting severance. It's in AT&T's best interest to let people leave with this relatively small, hush money amount, if you will. They will gain nothing but a pain in the a-s if they... — read more

In 2022 the saved lump sum calculation was 64k higher than it will be in 2024. Wtf?

At least I no longer have to rely on Wi-Fi to make a call in my house since T had nothing here unless I went outside. Seems to be good so far and the prepaid plan is actually a bit cheaper than existing employee plans. So far a win-win. Feels... — read more 

What kind of ineptitude is this? May 16: you will hear from your supervisor within 30 days. 45(!) Days later: you will be informed by July 31st. What? They can't count on CRE to know what space will be available. Was there no plan? (Hint: no... — read more

Just as an FYI, housing in Dallas is very tight and expensive! Over $400k and it will come with at least a 30 min. commute. North Dallas is extremely expensive with a very congested commute.

Did anyone in Zee Hussain Org get the RTO letter by the June 30th advertised deadline? If so, any details you care to share?

Will cricket wireless be impacted by the layoffs?

What org, groups, numbers and locations?

If folks start getting regulators involved and work to the rule…the upper management will start to feel some well deserved pain. You can complain or fight back. Remember. Safety is AT&T’s top priority.

Rumor has it that JS is interested in being acquired by Compuserve, Prodigy, and maybe even Packard Bell…who knows maybe even Worldcom would be interested…Trimming headcount to make it more palatable for the right suitor.

Team member living in ATL has been designated to report to ATL, wondering how many of these letters went out to folks not residing in state.

Anybody not in the first wave I would suggest you start looking for a new job now. Stankey wants us to gradually leave over 3 years. The best way to stick it to him is get another job now and make them deal with a mass exodus now anyway.

As possible. This is going to happen quick and they need to get as many people off the books as possible. The future network maintenance will all be outsourced to vendors. Stankey and his crew will walk away with hundreds of millions while the lifer... — read more
