Any visibility on layoffs, RTO, or relocation to Dallas?

AT&T University - they are wiping out. now if you want transfer in Dallas you need to re-apply as a strategist. Surplus this November. i just don't know what to say. this is so Evil

Job is moved to Dallas and some bs about a future letter whenever they figure it out lol, there’s nothing else in there about anything

Someone posted here yesterday that the Miller town hall went sideways and was derailed by those in attendance and on the web. Can anyone share details? I’m curious what was being asked, the approach, the tone, reaction etc.

As predicted by the employees, cue all the desperate execs making exceptions to the new RTO ‘policy’ since they didn’t do any sort of real impact study before announcing this unrealistic vision of following Elon into the ‘tough CEO’ style management... — read more 

Letters for Legg org went out a few days ago and hearing there were a lot of employees still confirmed as Virtual. Anyone else hear that?

RTO is just a maneuver to terminate as many people as possible without severance and benefits. Once the Hubs are in place a second round of layoffs will begin. Stankey is streamlining the company for sale and will walk away with at least four times... — read more 

Leadership. You don't implement something like this in a few months and see where the chips fall. Just like you don't jump from failed wireless merger to satellite TV to Hollywood productions. Shut your effort down to supporting ATT, cash the check... — read more

Shareholders and The Employee Base. Shut yourself down and give these psychopaths nothing. Show Stanley and his Cretins No Quarter!

Are people moving or staying?

Are Wave 1 letters being sent out before Wave 2? Is there any identified pattern?

i know there is debate on if severance will be paid … beyond that a few questions if anyone knows 1 is 401 k with holding/match applied to severance? 2 how long does it take to receive payout?

Pathetic backstabbing leadership holding on for life for the pathetic people they are because it’s a quarter. Karma will get these disgusting people.

I am seeing posts that RTO use passive words when mentioning severance. I suggest that no one signs this trap. The company is going to use your signature that you agreed without a set amount, meaning any amount of any can’t be legally disputed. Tell... — read more

My letter stated that “As opportunities arise, roles like yours will be backfilled in the hub location and within the next 18-24 months, you may receive official notification of the movement of your job to its long-term hub. Once in your long-term... — read more 

Back in 2011 AT&T Didn't Want To Expand Rural Coverage Because Of $3.8 Billion Price Tag, now they are getting a big pie of 42B, thanks to high energy Binden.

I told you so.

There has been some posts here about BUs tauting that they will have 0% virtual workers and denying all requests. But has anyone heard of approvals and what org?

John Miller’s answer to a very specific question about severance was that he cannot guarantee severance even if you meet all of the severance requirements, your assigned location is more than 50 miles from your current location and you decline RTO... — read more

Has anybody else’s productivity plummeted? It’s hard to focus wondering if I will even have a job at the end of the month(s) or year. I don’t think the company will fall apart when some of us are gone but I do think there is a slow screeching brakes... — read more 

Has anyone received a RTO letter from another state that says your role has moved to Middletown or Bedminster?

I was told letters will be going out on Friday to all that are impacted by RTO. You will have until July 29 to give your intent to move or not. Very few exceptions based on if you are working on a sensitive project or not. It's a shame that after... — read more 

Since I'm going to be laid off, can I reject the review given to me by my jerk manager?

A lot has already been said and written here about bad management, but their attitude that we should be grateful that we have a job never ceases to amaze me. Really??? They don't think we're so incompetent that we can't find any other option, do... — read more 

Basically says , I have to relocate to Dallas before end of the year. Severance offer will be sent “ sometime in the near future”. Basically being held hostage. BAU

Unfortunately, it never feels like enough, because the work culture is so toxic, you always want to be away. The higher you go up the management tree, the less trustworthy and knowledgeable the people are. They treat employees like nothing more than... — read more 

Any guesses?

If there's a reorg in Legg's org, when will it most likely happen? After Sept 1 when RTO finalizes?

And he knows it making him more desperate and dangerous. I wouldn’t follow him to the fire escape in a raging inferno.

Within 1 year RTO will fail miserably, and organizations will quietly return to a more flexible work/life experience. Do you know how many times I’ve been forced back into the office, only for them to completely reverse course a few months later?... — read more 

This is such bullsh-t

I've now read a few articles that are calling out Stankey and the entire ELT on their mishandling of AT&T. I know it doesn't make much difference in the grand scheme of things, but it is refreshing to see them clobbered by the media instead of having... — read more

Im due back at the office in two weeks; every childcare agency within 10 miles of my house has a waitlist for 6-12 months. Great Timing, AT&T. Thanks for the 12 weeks of maternity leave, but now I'll be pumping from the women's restroom while only... — read more 

Heard through the grapevine that come July 2023 AT&T remote workers will be forced back into the office and by November 2023, any workers who are not in a hub city will be required (in order to maintain employment) to work in a hub city.
