AT&T taps Amazon for satellite internet
Wonder how this will impact jobs?
Possible decision?
If I am chosen and plan to retire instead of move, what happens to my annual bonus for 2026? Is it prorated or nonexistent? In past years, it was prorated, but since the packages have changed, they don't address the topic. I could ask my AVP, but... — read more
Ice
Literally in the Deep South after a major hit of an Ice Storm, AT&T not sending any equipment or accessories! Shelves are bare and nothing to sell, but no quota relief!

5-Day RTO
Yes I know HD has nothing to do with our business and what we do. Just FYI, they announced mandatory 5-Day RTO. This may have already been posted, if so, my apologies.
Discrimination - Hybrid vs Office
How can this position be labeled hybrid if we’re required to be in the office five days a week? Isn’t that misleading and discriminatory? I’m really frustrated that this exists in our company. "This position is hybrid, and you may be expected to go... — read more

It’s funny when you realize how pointless RTO actually is
I forgot my laptop at home and didn’t realize it until I got to the office. It’s kind of hilarious how there’s literally no work to do without it. No systems. No tools. Nothing. Which exposes the flaw in the whole RTO and “collaboration” argument... — read more
Reconsider rolling back to Hybrid, the industry standard

Annual raises
Increases shared with mgrs today and they SU-KKKK! Get ready for 2% or less boys and girls
Do you think you’re the type of leader people gravitate towards or against?
Every one of the leaders should ask THEMSELVES this question and think about the “deposits” they’re making with the employee base. You have no “money in the bank” with the employees since you fuxed everyone over with 5 day RTO.
5 Days in Office
Potential employee here. I know 5 days per week in office is the official policy, but is it actually enforced across 100% of teams? I know a lot of similar companies have RTO policies on paper, but they aren't policed. Thanks in advance;

Layoffs and Contractors
Make this make sense. We lay off people by requiring them to move to a Hub city at their own expense and reapply for their job (or they are declared surplus/laid off). Then, a year later, they are back as a contractor, and RTO doesn’t apply to... — read more

The job search is a nightmare right now
Start looking for your next role today, but do not quit. The market is absolutely awful, worse than it looks from the inside. I was laid off and with twenty years in the field, it still took me forever to land something new. Being unemployed puts you... — read more
AT&T is like Zombie….
It is not alive… it is not dead… It is just rotting.
While Citigroup and Goldman Sachs both rate AT&T as a Buy with a $29 target, RBC Capital offers a slightly higher target of $30,
I am betting on $35.00/share when RTO kicks in for all. See you on the commute

Don’t be fooled by the bonus when they try to feed you the eNPS survey shortly after thinking you’ll respond more favorably while you're fat and happy. That is all this is.
