Newsflash!

ATS beware!

Santosh is in India and is scaling up operations. Hopefully you know what that means to you.

Beware the reverse stock split

If the ship isn't righted in a certain amount of time, lookout for the reverse stock split. This will equal to decreasing the dividend yet again.

Is it worth.....

Trying to fight Stankey on this new RTO policy? If we all come together and present a united front, we could possibly win. I would like to see him walk back his RTO policy.

ABFS work being contracted out

What exactly is this relocation RTO situation?

Could be because I am not management, but I have not recieved any email or info regarding a relocation. I am currently working in an office. Can someone spill the beans on exactly what is going on and if more then management is going to need to... — read more

WHY?

Why is Stankey so arrogant and nasty? He missed his calling, he was never cut out for CEO work!

Take San Diego's example, don't unionize.

San Diego call center was closed past year and work was moved to Tustin (1.5 hour drive). Half of the impacted bargained employees left ATT. Did the office closure make sense, no. On a larger scale it does because it's all about cost cuts. San... — read more
