how can I do this? fire the top 5 immediately none of their layoff work requires more than 6th grade education fire them all - TOMORROW!!!!

Org will be in Dallas only. Those in Dallas metro already start ~July 10 3-5x a week. No other hubs, even temporarily. All others will be virtual, no office, until ~August 10 when they will hear of the timeframe to make a decision and then do the... — read more 

Anyone received instructions to report to San Ramon location? All the people I know who received the letter so far was to report to Dallas

The bombshell was dropped and no credible follow up info for the workforce. No motivation, production has taken a nosedive, and all the focus is on trying to learn when letters will go out.

I absolutely agree that it's become very difficult to make it trough the week here. I don't think it was ever harder than it is now?

Someone stated this in another post, and I believe in it's simplicity, it 100% nails the current situation. The perpetual follower issued the edict from on high...fancying himself of Musk level intelligence and importance. Absolutely ZERO regard or... — read more 

In case we get axed or not wanting to relocate to hubs, can we apply to work at Verizon or tmobile ?

Move for this company unless leadership was completely overhauled. Until then I will punch your RTO clock, cash checks, and collect benefits. Anyone who moves for this company is a fool. I had friends who uprooted to Southern California with their... — read more 

Everything he hits he destroys. This layoff and RTO will be no different and all the battered remaining employees will be blamed. Lack of vision and lack of planning on the part of leadership. They don't know what they don't know and they makes them... — read more

I’m shocked how tight lipped the RTO timeline is. Usually there’s some sort of idea or leak. My director and AVP seem to be totally in the dark. Anyone else?

Hi - I want to send a note to the mods to see if we can get AT&T subforums on TheLayoff... I wanted to see if others have ideas on how to organize things or how to break things down. I was going to go with: Services, Mobility, Stores (not sure)... — read more 

They are already trying to get in the game in our industry but instead of working with all the carriers, why not buy T that has a ton of the infrastructure already in place? I’ll give it 5-10 years max.

T-Mobile has closed 300+ stores over the past 6 months, per new Wave7 Research postpaid report. More details with pics in this tweet: https://twitter.com/wave7jeff/status/1665826302719406080

We were told yesterday that emails will be out with our assigned hub on June 30. We'll see. Too many dates floating around here - but that was from an AVP.

chuck the blue collar roles over to Ericsson or someone else to manage these reactive roles these are only a drain to the bottom line

I guess these Wall Street experts aren't as smart as they want us to believe they are, huh? Here are a few reasons for T's dismal stock price: Unsustainable debt. T simply owes too much. A record of breathtaking blunders and business... — read more 

From a credible source, Service Delivery Org expects to have zero virtual positions.

Will there be fresh sushi and hot foods again at the new LA hub?

Looks like they're getting ready for contract negotiations again. Will you have to deploy from Dallas to all the other regions? Are there any of you left?

T seems to be desperate for any penny they can find! This is ludicrous, but it seems everything is on the table to make a buck. Please, Stanley suck up your arrogance and step down while you can and save a bunch of families!! Your track record... — read more 

What was the reason so many people got fired from an AP investigation? 24 people and AVP must of been widespread corruption.

COR Retail store in our state having issues getting stock to sell. Sad sad sad

After watching the open mic ACE town hall today, so many questions about RTO, but not a single question about the pending Q2 surplus. It seems to me that the Q2 surplus will have a lot more impact on ACE, but is being over shadowed by RTO. Even... — read more 

Has anyone heard ANY information regarding the Mass Markets org under Jenn Robertson? At least other orgs are hearing timeframes/dates on when letters of declaration are going to be received. I haven’t heard anything.

Yes, that's right, why can't employees accept that at&t is in real trouble. Looking more and more like bankruptcy is inevitable. All of these short term gimmicks will do nothing to change course. Don't bother uprooting your life to move to a hub, you... — read more 

Haven't heard anything yet. How bout y'all?

ATO round two. Notified June 22nd and off books on July 6th for management. Non-management will be notified based on union contract.

My group was originally told that we would be RTO 5x per month and this would start in September. We were just told we will report to a temporarily location (non hub city), 3x a week starting in July.

Not a good sign for T. I never thought it would get to this point but here we are folks. This could be the beginning of the end for T.

The current situation is parallel to the leadership of C. Michael Armstrong. AT&T will be sold or taken over for a second time. Only the brand will remain. Leadership will be purged. Stankey will walk away with hundreds of millions of dollars.

Other than people who work in the field and are absolutely necessary, Stankey and his cohorts will first cut all that they can from the offices and then outsource those remaining jobs to cheaper countries. That's where all of this is leading. There... — read more 

A response on Chicago. First, AT&T doesn’t own the building at Monroe & Franklin. It hasn’t for years. Second, 6th level recommendations go to Stankey on June 15 or 16. Letters to those impacted go out on June 30. Third, Chicago could — but it... — read more 

Can anyone recommend a good solution provider that hires ex-AT&T sales reps? And also wouldn’t care if it was a termination for fraudulent sales practices? Asking for a friend.

This idea deserves its own thread. Discuss.

T minus 2 weeks. I still don't believe this will happen, at least for some groups. There have been rumors of "by June 30" (45 days). This being very much like other Stankey brainchilds, implementation will at best be inconsistent, maybe get fully... — read more
