In ten years T will be simply a pipeline. Fiber pipe and a wireless pipe. That is the only way this riderless ship can survive. If you think you can make it through this journey: Good luck. Or just abandon ship .
Reasons why AT&T is on the decline
Declining revenue: AT&T's revenue has been declining for several quarters in a row. In the first quarter of 2023, revenue was down 1.4% year-over-year. This decline is being driven by a number of factors, including: The decline of the traditional... — read more

Are you kidding me?
AT&T share price is $16.75! This is getting old real quick. How much lower will it go? Is now a good time to buy?
Pension
Just a word to the wise get your commuted value in writing before you make any decisions about your pension and where it goes. I would recommend if you can get a payout and put it under your control and you can leave it to your loved ones if... — read more
West Region Retail
How many west region retail folks have a call scheduled?
It sounds like.....
Tomorrow will be hatchet day for some. Not that you will be off payroll tomorrow, but notified of layoff. Can they do that? UH HUH!
RTO, Employees are not all being shuffled into a HUB
These posts claiming you must work in Atlanta, Dallas or one of the other 5 Hubs is completely inaccurate. Most positions at ATT are focused in local markets hundreds and hundreds of miles from any Hub. Employees who report to local office locations... — read more
It's awful to have to depend on being the boss' favorite
Unfortunately, this is not the only company where employees' fate depends on whether the boss likes them or not. However, I have never experienced this being more important than employees' actual work, which I think is the case here. That's just my... — read more
Stankey Announcing RTO Policy Tuesday, anyone know specifics? No BS Please
Supposedly the officiant RTO announcement is tomorrow. Does anyone with real inside have details?
Legg organization still not coming to office
After all scare tactics with Legg himself saying he will run reports and see who is not working from office , I still see A LOT of people in his org that are not reporting in. How do we report them ?
Gigapower is a different company
Many people will be let go because of this. This is great for customers but will ultimately be bad for most AT&T employees.
I'm so tired of this management
The entire essence of AT&T revolves around the insufferable pride of the management. They possess an infuriating inability to acknowledge their own fallibility and always refuse to admit the slightest hint of a mistake. Instead, they conveniently... — read more
Lost Decade
Stephenson and Stankey have taken hundreds of millions in compensation and perks since Randall’s appointment to CEO in 2007. Three failed mergers, Billons paid to T-Mobile, dividends slashed, market valuation cut in half, over $100 billion in... — read more
We are going backward
Corporate America is on their way back to the gilded age of the late 1800’s. Extremely long hours, no weekends off, little to no benefits, abject poverty, raises nearly nonexistent, company towns with company chit for pay which was only good at their... — read more
Executive Management is clueless with Employees, Operations, and the Marketplace
Easiest path is to wage war on the employees. I can't believe I work for a company that is so d-mb. You know this RTO move will do wonders for morale and productivity.
Selling off wireless unit
Would seeing off wireless services pay off the debt? Is it on the table?
Gigapower
What’s the fuss about?
Wouldn't it be funny?
If TMUS bought out at&t? We would have come full circle, after ten years or so with at&t trying to buy TMUS! It's funny how things work out.
Remember when?
AT&T was a force to be reckoned with? Deep pockets, I mean deep, deep pockets. If leadership wanted something (within reason) they bought it. In out region there were always line trucks being built and delivered for &200K - $300k a pop. Nowadays... — read more
Clearing up falsehoods about RTO
FOW will revert to FTO with employees reporting to their assigned work location 3-4 days per week at the discretion of business uniting and direct supervisors. Alleged colocations, false. There are tens of thousands of employees who aren’t colocated... — read more
Upcoming Layoffs
Will employees be selected by stacking and ranking or will HR and management use the new discriminatory DEI model? Thoughts and opinions?
Forced Move to Dallas
Is anyone else hearing that RTO will require most MGT to move to Dallas or resign? Or is that just a bad rumor?
JVB Organization
Has anyone heard anything regarding JVBs organization making cuts?
I have to wonder.
How is Stankey keeping the lights on?
Severance payments
AT&T could change the lump sum to monthly annuities with a six month max, offload it to an insurance company at a discount and save millions!!
onestop 5k giveaway for employee refer
how does this add up? $5k award for referring new employees while cutting others? the strategy of letting existing employees go with 2 weeks notice to 'find a new job' shows the desire to cut seasoned employees in favor of new recruits. it is... — read more
Termination Pay
We all should know that any of us may be laid off so it's important that we each know what we'll get for termination pay (without dreaming of added incentives of the past). I am fortunate to be in the CWA/Leg T bargaining unit so with my seniority... — read more
If this doesn’t sound familiar, it will next week.

Return to Office - Return to Work
Has anyone heard anything more on the return to work plans? It seems like there was a lot of talk about it after the last town hall and then nothing. No directives, no policies, no conversations even. What's the plan on all the main offices they... — read more
Quantum Feedback
Anyone doing Quantum Peer Feedback? How about Supervisor Feedback? I was hoping Quantum would have gone away by now.
BIG OFFER IS ON THE WAY!
The upcoming Five - Five - Five offer for bargained for employees will be funded by the Athene pension swindle money. Take it to the bank.
Breaking News……..
Legacy T represented employees in selected areas will soon be getting the word on Company’s pending offer. FIVE YEARS TO AGE, FIVE YEARS TO SERVICE AND $10K PAYMENT PER YEAR OF SERVICE. CWA is on board.
Why won't they?
Answer pointed questions in town halls? Why have town halls if they will not be honest and candid? Most leaders have shifted to prescripted questions, I find that to be disingenuous. Town hall meetings = Waste of life
$50 K offer coming June15
Craft in the southeast will be offered another voluntary termination in exchange for $50,000 on June15. Do not know about other districts, but I caught wind of this in Atlanta after a vendor conference.
Stankey - Leadership From the Top?
So Stankey is changing the pension program but set up the adjustment to exclude the C-suite? Great leadership!
Are you doing your part to live our Purpose?
Can you actually believe that we paid a lot of money to some marketing consultant (probably some C suiters brother-in-law actually) to come up with that nonsense that no one understands or gives a flying flap about?
