I'm asking because I'm convinced there are two groups of people at T. Those who work way too much and sometimes do 80+ hour weeks and those who barely have anything to do. We need some kind of balance because group one, of which I'm a member, is... — read more 

Given that I know a few people who did their job very well and ended up getting cut the same as those who barely did anything, apparently there aren't many rules when it comes to cut here. Also, those who were not buddies with the manager were... — read more 

Would government let VZ T spin-off and consolidate copper into one non profit stand alone national org?

For those affected by the increasing segment rates, you still have time to make a decision to leave and save over 30% (at least) of your pension lump sum. In most cases the pension commencement date is 12/1 so that means you need to be off payroll by... — read more

Does the pension calculator on fidelity website show the estimated pension based on the new rates with the 13-30% reduction?

AT&T is trying to scare the he-l out of people. Do they want us out of here or what? https://southeast.newschannelnebraska.com/story/47724989/att-lump-sums-plummet-as-interest-rates-have-historic-increase

A $10,000 investment in 1984 would be worth $51,710 today, or a 4.4% compounded annual growth rate. That's a sorry performance compared to the S&P 500, which would be worth $263,000, or a 9% return, though slightly better than Verizon's own, or a... — read more 

Has anyone heard if there will be more layoffs in the mid-market segments? This year or Q1? So far it sounds like a bunch of changes within the roles.

Unfortunate experiences that others have went through have taught me that it's more important to work smart than it is to work hard. However, I've noticed that people are now starting to desperately rely on very hard work in order to try to save... — read more

If your job is too easy or you make too much money for what you do, you will be cut soon.

Just got my 14 day notice off payroll effective 12/1 as an ASM in SoCal. This is gonna be fun. Post what state you are in

I don't remember many times T had layoffs on a Friday, but sadly, that doesn't mean much. Is there any way to be certain that there'll be no more cuts, at least for now?

I got surplussed. After 19 years with this company and I’m scared. Does anybody know how long it takes to get your severance pay after they remove you from payroll? Is it one pay period or much longer? I’m really freaking out.

Even if they survive it, very few people ever recover from the PIP. That's why I would rather choose to be laid off right away. You?

Anyone taking bets on Legacy T center closings?

Ge-z what states on ASM in Retail?
