Anyone know what the Midwest manager call was about yesterday, all managers 4th level and down, not a word to techs though.

This is just a play to get rid of as many people as they can without paying severance. I truly hope nobody decides to quit and then lets them figure out how to fit enough people in way too little space without pivoting back to WFH. I know it's not... — read more

With high interest rates and families that have dual income earners AT&T’s relocation ultimatum will be too disruptive. In addition, job security is not guaranteed even if you relocate. People just have too many family commitments and obligations... — read more

I'm starting to believe JS is a copycat. Is there a rift between Elon & Stankey? Every decision ever made is based on what competitors are doing. Time after time employees suffer from historical poor decision making. We understand the needs of the... — read more

If you don’t agree to follow your work to Dallas will you get severance? I have heard you won’t.

Employees are coming out of the woodwork to comment on the new RTO policy. Relax Frances, it will only affect 15% as far as relocation. Three days in the office per week is a cakewalk.

What’s next on the chopping block? I’m predicting continued payment into pension accounts.

That is all this nonsense RTO business will create. People will just sandbag it and work just hard enough to stay off the radar and not get fired. It's actually way easier than you think. You can hide for years in certain departments here doing... — read more 

There’s no way the company wants everyone to return to the office. Expect the company to surplus employees prior to July and September. Sad day for T employees and their families

Does T offer any type of employee stipend for childcare? I had a child last year and am going to have to find a daycare option with a return to the office. Is there a daycare facility at Dallas headquarters?

Verizon is pitching new price plans as something wireless plans typically are not known for: simplicity.

Now that we have our new marching orders, time to improvise, adapt, and overcome, just like a real marine! Semper Fi!

For those who keep saying that Stankey and Co. don't listen or don't care: unionize. They will listen when the company comes to a grinding halt, and we have the power to do so. This isn't even about RTO. RTO is just the straw that broke the camel's... — read more 

What in the world just happened? Just got back from lunch (designated office location) and saw all of these RTO posts. What did I miss?
