Surplus on 12/15 will be called for CWA. Great package. Let’s go! I’ll take 2 years pay and the annuity.

Now that the pension loss is out of the way for most Legacy T folks, pray that you don't get laid off next year now that you loss 40% of your pension. If you do get laid off they will be paying your severance with the same money you lost... At&t... — read more 

Has anyone heard any leaked information regarding the new mobility market and territory realignments and quotas for 2023? Mangers supposedly will be told details tomorrow Dec 2nd and sales people Dec 5th.

Prem/I&R Manager surplused in my garage today, also other areas in my state

Ridiculous l3 to worker ratio.

Just one hour per day on ATT related items. Hour at beginning of day, end of day or split up 30 minutes morning and evening. That's it. Then carry forward into 2023 for as long as possible. Nobody cares any longer and I sure don't. Sck it Stankey!

I watched Jason Press town hall yesterday. He took over for Eric Boyer. He said AT&T must lay people off because we are not cost competitive with peers like Verizon and Comcast. He had four or five people with him on stage. One of them from... — read more

Until recently, I refused to believe that the leadership had degraded this place so much that it was no longer possible to call it a prosperous company with a future.

Is it always right around the 1st or 15th?

I think it is not the wisest decision to work only the bare minimum and think that it will hurt the company more than it will hurt you. When the benefits started to erode, the best ones already started to leave the ship. Why settle for doing... — read more

Names will be announced by Jan 15 and will be off of payroll by Jan 16, 2023. Asked to let the managers know about the retirement by the end of this week or else someone from the team will be forced to leave. Any thoughts?

If there are those who are satisfied with the work of this leadership, then they are very few. I am ashamed of this leadership that failed at almost everything that was possible to fail. I believe that they are well aware of the opinion we have... — read more 

You were warned. If you're legacy T This is your last day to make that move to save 30-40% of your pension lump sum.

Too much hot air about the situation.

The reality is, layoffs here will never subside until a clear direction for the company is set. The C Suite simply does not have a plan to right the ship, so absent that, they continue to surplus and cut technology investment….that isn’t... — read more 

Question. How is it possible that $$$ can be taken from our pensions? Example: If you have 300K in it and suppose 10% taken - that would be 270K. Can AT&T actually take $$$ out of our existing pension?

Does anyone know when my UVerse TV will go away. I want to plan ahead before AT&T gets out of this business.

This thread is for info about potential AT&T layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

I was part of the 2019 layoff. even though I moved on and doing way better not money wise but stress free life. For me it was like a bad divorce because looking at who was let go Vs. who stayed I am always wondering who create the list is it HR is it... — read more 

I thought with the current economic climate we are already in a recession. Why are there still articles being written about the upcoming 2023 recession. Does that mean ATT will be culling the herd with massive layoffs 2023 to appease shareholders?

Represented technicians some time in March 2023. 5 years to age and service plus $5k per year of service. That should tie things up in a bow. Adios a los unións. T is finally getting serious about cleaning house.

Is it really worth while taking lump sum for Legacy T folks? Is not it better to go for the guaranteed annuity and don’t worry about the interest rates?

I'm trying to understand the logic of a company that spends a lot of money to hire employees, train them, only to fire them not long after. This does not happen only here, but it is very common at ATT. Why? What is the logic behind it? Not only... — read more
