Does anyone remember the Workforce 2020 initiative? Looking for real explanation of what it was. Is this the endgame to that?

Based on employee reviews

I just dropped 10 letters at the post office. Sent copies of some of the best posts on here. Please do the same with newspapers and online news sites. Find their address and mail them the information.

For 6/22 layoffs? Are numbers not high enough to trigger this?

Has anyone heard anything? Any news? No news is good news?

I think I have never been less motivated for work and it was never harder for me to concentrate on work. The fear of being surplused, a manager with an inflated ego who puts a lot of pressure on us and his favorites who are mostly just a... — read more 

Latest debacle. T-Mobile is bringing back Legere in ad campaign that shows him getting the best of Stankey and Lily look alikes all over the place. Marketing Wizardry!

Out and open up short position or buy puts. This pig is bleeding out and Stankey doesn't know what a tourniquet is.

Saturdays and Sundays to collaborate in the penal colonies. You can't make up just how stupid this leadership team is. Once these stories start making the rounds it will do wonders for the share price or should I say simply accelerate the death... — read more 

Leadership and the Board are incompetent and out of touch. Look at the things Stankey has done and gone unscathed. Look at who follows his marching orders. Look at the treatment of employees, investors, and customers. They simply continue down the... — read more 

Some big tech firms will make an offer for this dumpster fire.

Are there.pay lots around the area? Is there enough space to provide work space for everyone? Seems like they are just winging it as a result of cash flow miss and there really is no logical plan with all of this.

Miss. Stankey and Desroches have lied too many times to Wall Street. The only hope is they are in on Stanley's plan to bust up the company and will collect lots of fees from ATT and what remains. I have to imagine everyone laughs behind Stanley's... — read more 

They will be going into Legere Mode. JVB has no answers, she is drowning. Game, Set, Match.

I acknowledge that the title may attract more trolls than it keeps away. But it's difficult to get a wide discussion going among employees and still be semi-anonymous, so I'll try it anyway. I'm hoping to have some intelligent conversation, as there... — read more 

Trying to whitewash his massive failures. Like a used car at the junkyard. JVB is the junk yard dog growling like cujo foaming at the mouth. Bark bark bark....don't question Stankey.....ruff ruff ruff growl....do what you're told!

About 30% of this company is going to be gone by the end of the year. Act accordingly. Don’t sit around with your head in your hands. Get your ducks in a row NOW: LinkedIn, your CV, network and start taking calls. The people writing that people... — read more 

The whole point of the nine-hub-relocation cr-p is to force people to quit. It doesn't take a genius to figure out it will work since the majority of people can't just pick their lives up and move wherever they want. So why are we then still having... — read more 

Which orgs are being hit? Nat Business? Public Sector?

Somebody here mentioned the closing of offices in Philippines and Slovakia. Could you provide more info pleas? Sadly, this board is only one real communication platform for T employees, that's odd but it works. Thx in advance.

If you choose not to RTO your job will be outsourced to a person working from home.

I cannot believe that due to all the poor financial and investment decisions made by R. Stephenson and then continued with J. Stankey, they continue to play with peoples livelihoods. Stanley and his clones say how important employees are, only when... — read more 

For those leaving/retiring/surplussed, what's the opinion on lump sum vs annuity?

I wouldn't work at AT&T .

She talked and talked but said nothing. Person well outside of any core location was desperate asking questions. VP talked to person but said nothing. What a disgrace all due to Stanley's Hubris, Board Flaccidity, and gambling with balance sheet and... — read more 

Can I take my lump sum pension if leaving at 52? Or do I have to wait till a certain age?

Everything and everyone. Stankey: there are no sacred cows. They will sell any part of this company that will fetch a buck.

So if all this RTO “isn’t a layoff” (like they claim), then shouldn't all the positions turned down should be posted? Either internally, externally, or both? Otherwise it’s just obvious it’s to cut headcount… particularly the higher paid brackets... — read more

I've been with AT&T about 15 years. I've always worked virtually. I don't even have an office to go to, to speak of. I have a spot I could work at but none of my team is there. And I have no cubicle. Am I going to be required to move or face layoff?... — read more
