Anyone review the IIL and determine if best to take or roll the dice? As long as we've worked X years, don't they give 6 months pay anyway? Not seeing any other benefit to volunteering except take control of your own destiny. What am I missing?

Does anyone know if we get laid off, do we still get bonus and now that the Q4 $ earnings are out , any word on the % our bonus will be?

As part of the affected work group, here is what we were told on yesterday's call: There will be an 8% force reduction. Interested in leaving surveys will go out 01-24 ( which didn't happen) IIL must be submitted by 01/31 All will... — read more 

Layoffs still scheduled although this year was better than last year financially, yet at this time last year, T was hiring thousands upon thousands.

Anyone know if any managers in these levels have been targeted for surplus but their business units are not being shut down? I am aware of 3 good workers being notified this month. These employees are paying the price for bad management practices... — read more 

Is there anything AT&T can't destroy? Q4 results video

From Cricket Wireless. Going to give a smaller company a shot versus the big death star of ATT. Good luck to all!

All these layoffs got me thinking, is there such a thing as job security any more? Not just at T, but in general? When I entered the workforce 20+ years ago things were different. Yes, there were still layoffs but they were not a constant. Most of... — read more 

Did anyone get more than a 6 month offer this afternoon?

T is stressful. Not sure what everyone else is doing everyday but on my team, we’ve been absorbing what the previously laid off employees (who were amazing at what they did) workloads. I’ll get back out there.. just spending awhile with my family... — read more 

This is what’s being discussed and implemented. The company only wants to put money into automation of job functions. It’s also part how they will decide what products to sell going forward. I have two years left and very thankful for that. — read more 

Stankey gonna lead us all to the promised land (well those of us that survive). Stankey knows more about parting the seas than anyone.....

CORRECTION…CWA represented technicians with 25+ years are absolutely safe. In fact that is the reason that AT&T will be making the enhanced buyout offer of 5 years to age, 5 years to service + $5,000. payment. It is the ONLY way they can reduce the... — read more 

With all the tech companies providing cover, Stankey has free reign to cut employees at will. He has trashed at&t, the only way to satisfy Wall St. Is to cut labor costs. It didn't have to be this way.

so calls today for ACE East saying they will surplus 11% but no other information, a survey would be sent out for volunteers and in a week it will close then wait until mid February to see if we have a job!!

I Can confirm Kia is soliciting IIL through 1/31. Any others?

All these threats of layoff. We all knew this was coming, yet many seem surprised. And this is not the end, many more to come. To quote Stankey: "NO ONE IS SAFE".

Calls are coming out for 2/7 for JVB Orgs. Fiber & Mobility being cut by 25%. If they didn’t take you for platinum, good luck. These people are heartless.

Coffey notified people on the call that there is a 10% Forced Reduction in Mass Markets, those on the call are in the impacted group. Will be notified Mid February and have 14 days.

Everyone, If you are a current employee, I urge you to use Webphone and stop coming on this board and referencing false information regarding AT&T departments. The "Business Unit" (Organization) and "Department" are listed in Webphone clear as day... — read more 

Companies burning cash just to tread water. That is why I tell you fools to load up on TDS/USM. One of the bigs is gonna take them out for all the assets which are currently 25-30 cents on the dollar. Why slug it out in the marketplace when you can... — read more 

I don't think I've ever been as anxious and nervous as I am now. I would like to be one of those employees who say that a layoff would mean almost nothing to them, but I can't be relaxed at all. At the very thought of losing my job and income in... — read more 

I know there are a bunch of calls today, affected, not affected who knows? I know ACE East and West have calls at 11 & 11:30 CT If you have a call before hand please let us know what’s said, i’m sure a lot of us are on pins and needles — read more 

What is the AT&T severance package? Verizon has very generous package ( 2 weeks for every year up like 27 week.

When I say next, I mean a huge round of layoffs that would affect at least 10k people if not more, like at Microsoft and Google. We have more than 200k employees, and I'm betting you that the leadership is feeling emboldened by all these huge layoffs... — read more 

The only way T manages to offload THOUSANDS of nonproductive workers making $250k with benefits is to suck it up and extend the same offer as they’ve done multiple times in the past. It’s a no brainer for the company and it’s going to be announced... — read more 

But will I still get laid off tho

Has anyone heard anything for JVBs org (mid-market)?

Much better service and share performance than ATT.

Looks like Coffey’s group will be notified tomorrow, got the mandatory 15 minute call invite today.

Wireless service is blazing fast, faster than ATT, and much cheaper than ATT employee plan. Cricket is the way to go for ATT employees fed up with high prices and slow speeds.

If someone knows please share.

My humble opinion, T will do layoffs by group, department or org rather than a 1 time mass good bye, spread out over time 1- because HR can’t handle couple thousands employees needing answers at ones and 2- T is not fan for bad PR, at the price the T... — read more 

That's when we'll know the true scope of coming layoffs. If the results are good, then it'll be the usual small layoff here and there for the foreseeable future. If the results are bad (which is the more likely scenario) we are screwed, since we all... — read more 

Heard of layoffs in Florida being announced in management Friday. Hope this isn’t true but seems to be.

Such as location, management level, age, job titles, ethnicity, etc. You should ask that in your next AMA calls.
