State Street have gotten to board and Stankey told them to put a leash on that barking puppy. You don't miss cash flow by $2B in a quarter due to late payments, such a BS response and the street knows. Somehow the CFO doesn't known the business or... — read more

AT&T: No Growth, High Debt, A Value Trap
https://seekingalpha.com/article/4534788-att-no-growth-high-debt-value-trap
Anyone been offered a voluntary package recently?
If so, what organization and location?
720 Broadway - Milwaukee
I know the building has been sold for about $30 million. Does anyone know if it was a lease back deal? Are there still AT&T employees in the building? Same groups? Has the new owner indicated any future plans for the building? Back in the day when I... — read more
How pervasive is quiet quitting at T?
From your perspective how pervasive is quiet quitting at T?
What are you doing to improve your skillset?
Those with a good skillset do not have a big problem finding a better opportunity in today's job market. I am among those whose skills have atrophied here, and unfortunately I am becoming aware of that only now. Maybe it is still possible to... — read more
Stankey is absentee CEO
Seems like T is, and has been, running on autopilot for quite some time. Maybe he feels that he has lost the confidence of most all employees. Maybe it's his health. Something seems very wrong, can't quite put my finger on it.
The working environment at T is toxic.
Employees ratting on one another. Managers that don't trust employees to do their job. Stankey constantly reminding all employees how smart he is, knows everything about everything. Santone constantly taking away hard earned benefits. Constant... — read more
3-day mandatory in office memo coming ...
Heard from some folks in HQ , T is following in the footsteps of some other tech companies and they're going to update their in-office policy to min. 3 days for most divisions . They're going to "re-factor" designations.

Grass is greener!
I have finally left AT&T after almost a decade on the wireline engineering side and let me just tell you the grass is extremely green on the other side. I am not going to say what state or area I worked in but the amount of BS I put up with and the... — read more
Where's the real fat?
AT&T has too many employees, nobody can argue with that. I will argue that the wrong people keep getting cut in an effort to reduce that number. We could easily get rid of two-thirds of middle management without anybody noticing. So why is it that we... — read more
Is this true?
20% reduction in the sales centers. People will start being notified this week. I still hope that it is not true, although I have heard this rumor from several people.
IBEW 21 16.5% over 5 years not enough
Get back to the table! 16.5% and new 75 dollar a month additional tobacco surcharge is a terrible deal. We deserve bettter!

If R.S. it taking a monthly pension
then shouldn't the people currently taking the pension or who are pension eligible consider it a safe bet?
D-mb Technicians at AT&T
Since some of you continue to bash the management side so hard on this board, I thought I’d spin it the other way and gripe about the union a little bit. Why do we pay union techs the absurd wage we do for them to be so ignorant using... — read more
Inflation vs. Wages
When will T keep up with inflation?
Perspective
Intel is spending $20B to build two new chip manufacturing facilities in New Albany Ohio. Seems like "chump change" when compared to T's debt of $135B. Makes you wonder what Stephenson and Stankey were thinking, way over paying for DTV and WM... — read more
Layoffs for business management wireline coming
I’m hearing a large layoff for managers in wireline. All areas will be hit
ATT is large dead carcass at this point with Zombies
Feeding off of it high and low. Executives, Middle Management, Truck Rollers just all feeding off the dead beast and declining cash flow. Do not invest in ATT stock and dump it routinely from your 401K. There is a reason execs comp doesnt correlate... — read more
YTD Investment Returns - Querry
Let's do a poll on how AT&T employees/retirees are doing YTD regarding their 401 k returns. What is your YTD return and how much of your portfolio is in equites/bonds/AT&T stock? This could be interesting and useful information
If The C-Suite Were So Good Why….
Don’t They Get Recruited to Other Companies. Even After They Leave or are Forced Out They Do Nothing.
Still care about your job?
The managers here are very talented at destroying any enthusiasm an employee has for their job. I loved my job until I came here. Perhaps the managers are the ones who should ask themselves how much people here really care about their work anymore... — read more

Here is my plan
I am not investing anything to better ATT. I am going to collect checks and benefits for as long as possible and do as little as possible. When I finally leave I am switching my wireless service, all 5 lines, over to Metro, Cricket, or Tmus. No... — read more
D-mb managers at AT&T
Is that only my manager who don’t have proper knowledge about technology or most of the tech managers are in the same situation to waste AT&T resources without proper knowledge on tooling, which can do the work in matter of days instead of wasting... — read more
Anybody Have A Good Joke to Share
We need some humor on this site.
Do any of the newcomers still see AT&T as a place to have a long-term career?
I wonder how much perception has changed throughout the years due to the changes that have happened in the company. When I joined 12 years ago, I was convinced I'd retire here. Over the years, I stopped believing that. I'm now actively searching for... — read more
Layoffs
Huge reduction #s coming in CS&O before year end. Time to start looking externally for opportunities. L1-L4. Larger numbers than this organization is used to.
Very little work???
I find it very interesting that many here write that they have very little work to do. On my team, we are all more than overwhelmed. It looks like the distribution of work is not good.
ATT Bedminster,NJ Location officially closing
Anyone see that email from Paul Rosenbaum last week annoucing that the bedminster location will be closing early 2023 and full relocating to two smaller buildings right on 1405 Route 206. Seems like it will all be shared spaces going forward.
Follow work to Dallas from SA?
Any word on employees having to “follow their work” to Dallas? Otherwise let go? Even though many WFH 3+ days per week….
Why are people still wasting their lives at AT&T?
I left a year ago and my life improved immensely. Jobs with normal company culture and good managers still exist. I still read this forum occasionally and I'm never surprised to see that things are getting worse instead of better. All of you can do... — read more

I have a question in mind about AT&T stock
Why can’t AT&T give stock with offer price to employee or stock bonus to employee? In that way, many employees will buy stocks with offer price and flow will be increased and then stock price will go up. Supply and demand the AT&T stock because... — read more
