Hmmmmm, I wonder what it could be about?

How long can a company pay field services techs to drive around and do very little work? Term employees are virtually brain dead. What percentage of techs enjoy doing little to no work? Is that rewarding? What about the stockholders that own... — read more 

Over to Cricket Wireless. Far superior network and much lower cost than the employee discount.

I'll be honest, I'm only here because I lack skills to get something better. For a while I was very comfortable here and I didn’t think much about slowly becoming less and less marketable. How to make up for lack of skills in the shortest... — read more 

Wasn't a lot of substance - any other opinions? Not very clear on RTO but seems desperate in finding new employees

Does anyone know if Quantum feedback by employees for managers are taken seriously? I think my ATT manager has received bad feedback and wonder if the upper managers look at it and implement change. Or is it just a formality and it's up to the... — read more 

Why the return to the office isn’t working Those who want to be remote are upset because they enjoyed working from home and don’t understand why, after two years of doing good work there, they have to return to the office. People who couldn’t wait... — read more 

Most T employees are stagnate in their positions and are no longer as marketable as they would like to be. They're stuck at T not only because they're a little long in the tooth, but also because of their lack of skills that can be used at another... — read more 

I'm okay with going back to the office. I'm also okay with going back to the levels of productivity that come with less sleep, more distractions, and zero desire to do anything outside of my regular hours. I'm not sure how loss in productivity (not... — read more 

With so many complainers, you'd think more of them would be looking for new jobs so they could escape the horrible situation at AT&T. Yet when you look at attrition, it's about the same (low) levels as it has always been. What's the point in staying... — read more 

What do you think? Will they have a employee appreciation celebration to welcome everyone back? I hope so, nothing over the top, maybe cake with ice cream. What would you like the company to do?

Someone like Legg who uses the same things over and over again like "battle of the bands" or Stinky who comes has to outdo himself with new stupid ones each quarter?

After all these (we can now safely call them) failed acquisitions, how long will it take us to get back on the right track? Because it certainly doesn't seem like we're getting there fast enough. The strategy still seems to be all over the place... — read more 

With interest rates rising 2.5 to 3% this year and given that lump sums drop 10% with each 1% interest increase why would they pay severance?

If T is serious about honoring diversity why don't they honor Juneteenth as a paid holiday on Monday. It gets old, the way Stankey and c-suite are always harping about discrimination at T, yet they keep amazingly silent on Juneteenth. This should be... — read more

Think about it. Big changes are coming our way.

And answering scripted questions. Yawn! Put him in a room full of employees with 30+ years who had their retiree medical and earned vacation days stripped away and see how he does!

Even with all the resentment that I harbor towards Stankey I don’t think that it would have made much difference even if someone else was holding the wheel, and that our problems are deeply embedded into our culture and business practices to a degree... — read more 

Maybe raise rates again, T has a fairly captive audience when it comes to mobility. Now is probably a good buying opportunity, but only if the share price increases at some point.

This is news to me, as per Jeff Elfish email, El Segundo is no longer considered a hub location and all employees are now labeled Virtual (TW) in webphone.

Guess its time to head back into the office boys! In the office 3-5 times a week for office employees, 1-3 days for flex, and 1 day a month for virtual.

Folks - you seasoned vets that are still hanging in there. You missed your opportunity in 2021. How's the retirement calc looking with these rising rates? I wish you all good luck.

The looming recession is extremely worrying. It doesn’t seem to me like T is in great shape to handle the recession, although I’ve seen that there are those here who think otherwise. Thoughts?

https://helpfromhr.com/blog/minimum-present-value-segment-rates-att We are about halfway through 2022, so I wanted to check in on how far lump-sums will drop in 2023. If AT&T were to use the most recent rates (April Rates), the second segment has... — read more 

appointed to Executive Vice President and Chief Technology and Digital Officer for UPS. I hope he has T provide services for UPS which would mean lots of new work!

Anyone hear about this? T employee, at work, was provided a chance to putt a ho-e in one. Employee nailed it, the entire workgroup received a PDO. Wish I was included, we never get opportunities like this. As seen on Inside Edition 06/15.

If there is, I haven't seen it. I think T is in great shape moving forward without DTV and WM. I don't see any need for layoffs, let attrition run its course.

As MSN reports, it can be a hazard of trying to quickly and artificially level the playing field. Let’s hope this does not end in unfair treatment. Conscious bias is racism, period going forward... — read more
