Any information on what this is about?

Why isnt the annuity being affected the same as if you take a lump sum? Will the segment rates affect the annuity at some point also? I understand their are different plans. Has the annuity rate ever gone down?

DevR is going get hit with sales audits going back until 2019 is why Donan left. He got into an argument with JVB about the process and left the meeting. He quit that same day and they processed him out right away. You can tell that there was... — read more 

All you posters that say you don’t know what you’re talking is total BS. There are people that don’t work for craft that do know what they are talking about and look the company is changing and profitability is what we are striving for. That means... — read more 

Maybe I'm wrong but I think that more and more people here are giving up on looking for promotions. It's simply not worth trying. Agree? Instead of exhausting myself with hard work that will not be valued, I prefer to do only the minimum required... — read more 

I was just reading an article about how next year will look much better for ATT than 2022. Can anyone believe that? I can't. I hope that next year I won't even be here.

Current employee sweepstakes just makes me giggle. We still have what, 200K employees? More? Enter for your chance to win an iPhone14 Pro! "An" as in "one". Meaning they are giving 1 (one) iPhone 14 Pro away for a big employee sweepstakes. ... — read more 

Somebody mentioned in another thread that AT&T is dishonest and underhanded and it's a wonder we have any customers at all. While I agree with the 'dishonest and underhanded' claim that's the perfect description for every single telecom company. We... — read more 

Does anyone know what happened to Chris Donan? His sudden intention to leave seems unusual. Especially as he had been with the company for 18+ years and super well respected in National Business Mid-Markets. Also, the organization announcement... — read more

cause T to layoff bargained for employees or lift the hiring freeze depending on how it goes? If the results are less than expected, is there still another date for a craft layoff announcement?

its must be so embarrassing to be related to this chump. IQ of 0

I was surprised that not only does AT&T use contractors for construction, they also use contractors for OSP Design & Engineering. No wonder there have been no openings in the OSP Engineering department with a lot of long time management retirements... — read more 

I find it funny when I say I'm quiet quitting, and some older employees ask me what happened to company loyalty. AT&T declared war on its employees a long time ago. They don't pay us enough, take away our benefits, have non-stop layoffs, and I'm... — read more 

When AT&T let me go with 23,000 Management Employees just a few years ago, T-Stock was pushing $44.00+ per share. Follow the money!

More of my colleagues left in the last 2 months than in the last few years.

Are they giving any this year? Any orgs gave awards & how much?

I'm getting desperate here.

So the pension rates will take a hit if you dont retire this year. Can it ever replenish after 2023? For example if the segment rates go back down in 2024.?Can you recover what you lost and it starts rebuiding?. Or is that loss lost forever? Which... — read more 

What fool decided to push T to implement open office. Bowling or Donavan? Trying to be like google and wasting millions. They also thought it would allow them to lay people off who would never be missed. No suddenly empty cube. Now they don’t want to... — read more

Just think of all the failed acquisitions, useless but costly reorganizations, and horrible decisions made in the last ten years or so. Name one company that had so many missteps in that period? And by that, I mean a major company, not a startup that... — read more 

It's more likely to get struck by lightning than get a promotion at AT&T if you don't have somebody looking out for you. Nepotism and cronyism for the win!

I can't find any reason to admire or respect Stankey, is it just me? He has done nothing to enhance T's position in the wireless arena. Everything he has done has cost the company dearly. $135B in debt due to failed acquisitions. How the he-l does... — read more 

I kept hearing on here that layoffs would be announced on 9/15. Anyone have an update?

Hey customers we are really bad and overpriced but not as bad as Tmobile says so we are going to file a law suit.

I would call ATT's business strategy - an experiment. How many other companies do you know that hire people only to lay them off shortly after? There aren't many of them. Such an "experimental business strategy" is very frivolous and the... — read more

My posts are not offensive, just possibly not in agreement with someone's political views. So I'm seeing several of my responses get deleted. And new threads are deleted if responses don't agree with the poster.

Does HR pursue and discipline managers that engage in racist behavior toward minorities, or is it overlooked?

Anyone lose their job or get in trouble for no use disconnects? I thought they were cracking down on them?

Several colleagues and I had a rather interesting discussion about what we consider to be the worst moves among all the bad moves that happened here. Which one would you single out as the most harmful to the entire company?

Is there really any benefit in staying 30 years? I have 28 years and 2 months in and have been offered a pretty good opportunity. Is there any benefits that I would lose by jumping ship? I reached the Rule of 75 a couple of years ago.
