Topics regarding layoffs at AT&T

How many have already decided to quit?

I'm wondering, how many of you who visit this forum regularly have decided to quit? I'm still on the fence, but I'd lie if I said I'm not considering walking away. I don't trust this leadership enough to think they'll do right by me even if I uproot... — read more

John Stankey and Good Strategy are an oxymoron

How does Stankey and The Current CFO still have their positions. How do you not have a handle on your operations to the point where you miss a quarterly cash flow projection by $2B?

Relocation and RTO

Given Stankey’s track record on major initiatives Relocation and RTO will be disasters.

Minnesofuct

How's it working out for y'all up there in Minneapolis?

ATL hub location

Simple question- why is Atlanta chosen as one of the two main hub locations? Looking for a serious explanation if someone has it.

AT&T relocation allowance

If AT&T doesn’t offer a substantial relocation package, don’t quit. Take a plane & move into the building they demanded you to report to. If they ask you to leave then sleep in the parking lot. I’m sure the company will fire you but wow headlines... — read more

Get rid of all DEI personnel

Memorial Day Weekend - RIP AT&T

This will be the last major holiday many of us will enjoy as employees before major changes happen at T. Take some time to enjoy your time off before major shakeups of RTO and surpluses happen.
