Will there be a large layoff on this date?
How does Stankey have such a long leash?
99% of other Fortune 500 CEOs would have been canned years ago? Is ther back door dirty dealings with black rock, fidelity, vanguard, and government? It makes no sense how he is still in control.
Celebrate the good news!
T stock closed above $16 at the end of this week's trading. ... and that's the end of the good news. Okay, it really isn't good news considering it's still a far distant third to our two direct competitors, and it's still about 25% lower than the... — read more

Primary Residence vs Reporting City
Seams to be contradiction in whether or not your primary residence must be 50 miles or less from the assigned office vs just the RTO reporting date. HR is to get back to me. Anyone ask or get any clarity to this?

Did the C-suites visit your little offices?
How cruel of them to fly around the country with their security guards and multiple Escalades getting everybody perked up feeling special, only to axe everybody in the back months later.
Outdoor Tents with AC and seating
Are coming to Atlanta and Dallas. This will occupy some parking areas and I don’t think they understand the safety issues with pop up wind gusts and thunderstorms. They can’t be serious with this?

"A layoff wolf in return-to-office sheep’s clothing"
If even the media calls this "a layoff wolf in return-to-office sheep’s clothing" then I think we can all agree that this is exactly it. At least it's good to see that Stankey is being called out by somebody else other than employees on his cr-p for... — read more

D Day
Good luck my ATT brothers and sisters. Today is the day our designations to live are loaded into the system and our fate chosen. Feels a bit like hunger games, or maybe Harry Potter with the sorting hat determining our city?

Some groups were expecting RTO (layoffs) to be announced Friday, June 16. It’s been delayed at least a week. Why? ‘Cause uncertainty, protracted poor morale and low productivity are a “clever” way to do business, amirite?
This sums up the failure of AT&T......
