Southeast techs have been summoned to meet with direct and second level management the first week of February

Yea boy!

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.

Y/N?

Well how about that

Up 5%. Not today haters!

...at least some. Off payroll early March.

Two of my colleagues were affected few years ago and last year. They both got 2% per year they served in the company. It’s that still a thing or it’s changed because I see a lot of post here in the past regarding severance.

Still grinding away in the Escape From ATT Land Desk Farm??? Jockeying every day to find a decent spot??? Take control of your future and roll the dice on some small caps. Bunch of losers

When is the next big layoff? They need to match Vrz employees numbers cause T always follow them. I’m expecting like 50% cut.

We do the same work in the same location. I had a peer ask why they have to ride the same elevator?

“Well… uh… you see, the number… goes up, and sometimes… the number, it can…the number, goes down”

My manager pulled me into a last minute meeting with zero context and kept a straight face the whole time. It turned out to be small talk, but my nerves were shot for hours after. Do they not realize how on edge all of us are?

The Leg T CWA contract expires in a few months. Will they settle without a strike? Who's got the upper hand? Is that power real or perceived? Is the company actually ready to replace workers via automation, off shoring, in house replacement, etc? ... — read more 

Are they scared of losing their job? It is just horrific these days. Grow a spine and tell the truth and take ownership instead of blaming others.

Any updates on size of work force in Milwaukee? Any insight on AT&T plans regarding job functions other than local designations? Is current HC stable?

thank god for fern

There were no road issues. But for some reason they closed the schools. I had to take a PTO. It cost our family a vacation day this summer. Georgia is so backward.

If you’re going to force everyone into the office five days a week, can you at least turn the heat on? People are sitting at their desks in coats, winter hats, and gloves. That’s not exaggeration either. You made the RTO decision, not employees. If... — read more

How many are waiting for surplus to get 90 weeks pay?

How's it going there in AT&T now that it's only left with "the bottom quartile". “If you’re trying to say to people, ‘Oh, you got to work in an office,’ you’ll just get the bottom quartile of people who have no choice.”

Great news, team! After months of being told that our jobs absolutely require us to be in the office five days a week, we’ve now discovered a groundbreaking truth: remote work magically becomes possible the moment a storm named Fern shows up. To... — read more 

Expect a double digit revenue decline from Q4 2025. This will no doubt result in layoffs being pushed forward at a faster pace. At some point this company has to look around and realize customers aren’t happy and change directions.
