Does anyone know about Pass/Fail rates for TKT certification for union jobs?
Is there any way to take it without the company reaching out ?
Would you recommend AT&T as a first job to somebody?
My nephew wants to apply and I don't see anything wrong with it. He can do a couple of years to get some experience and then move on to bigger and better things. I think this is still a great company to get your feet wet, it's just not a place to try... — read more
RE: Remember when
Remember when people ran from Sprint’s horrible customer svc to Cingular’s awesome service? Remember when Customer Svc and Sales were 2 separate departments? I remember enjoying talking to DTV reps before the acquisition ruined it all.
Will ATT ever offer a 4-day workweek?
Just asking.
4E (Dallas)
Do you think we'll have layoffs soon? What's your estimate of the current situation?
Remember when…
The company took away vacation days from employees with more than 20 years and gave them to employees with less than 20. I do!

Debt
The debt is still huge. I wonder what is an acceptable level of debt for ATT?
A few months into Covid I packed up and moved close to the beach
Go down there for the afternoon 2-3 times during the week, have the phone ready and laptop in the car. Sometimes I knock a few cold ones back. Life is good and when you are surrounded by incompetence top to bottom you can easily pull this stuff off... — read more
T's reputation
I think the reputation, and for a good reason too, has never been worse. It is sad that leadership does not seem to be aware of the risk of a bad reputation. Or perhaps they don’t attach much importance to it at all?
It is difficult to work with such managers
Somehow the hardest part of my job is communicating with a manager who doesn’t know my job at all. This of course does not stop him from acting as if he knows the job better than me, even though I have more than 15 years of experience. How do you... — read more
I'm worried about a possible recession
I'm getting tired of people asking me why I don't quit since I hate AT&T so much, especially since the job market is the best it has ever been. I don't do it because there is a huge chance that another recession is coming and I don't want to change... — read more
I just received an AT&T check
I just don't get it. I thought it was a joke. Wells Fargo said no, it's real. Pay to the order of ME. $2,758.15 For what? Don't get me wrong - money for nothing is great but I don't have any AT&T services but I am an employee. You would think that... — read more

I'm not surprised we're still able to hire
Nobody can know what their future workplace will be like for sure until they've experienced it themselves. They can read all the reviews and forums but never underestimate the power of the rosy picture recruiters and interviewers paint. Their goal is... — read more

What are pros and cons of working for AT&T?
What do you think? List at least one.
The company is basically telling us: Don’t work hard
I told myself a million times I will do only the bare minimum, but to be honest I never could do that. I just can’t live with myself is I don’t give it my best and put in a good day's work. What did I get? Nothing. A raise and a promotion is in the... — read more

Like everyone else, we canceled once discount was gone. DTV dude that was responsible for employee accounts sounded deflated and said he'd gotten tons of calls and was sorry he couldn't do anything for us. Put our equipment in a box to return to... — read more
So are they actually going to terminate unvaccinated union employees next week
April 1 is the last day
April 1st - wear pajamas to work day
Let me guess, this will count as a competitive benefit by HR.
Sad facts

What happens if an employee abandons their job?

New hires leave as soon as they gain some experience
As soon as they learn how to do the job and gain some experience, new hires go to competitors. How do you comment such a business strategy - serving as a source of talent for our competition? Isn't it too expensive for ATT to hire, train and... — read more
Anne Chow - is she finally getting laid off herself?
Has been wielding a hatchet her entire career. That’s all she’s done. Has never grown the business. After spin-off she’s gone. We might have gotten something right for a change.

John.Stankey@ATT.Com He handed the email off to a "Quota" Employee and just gave me a ration of B.S. but when cheated email the Stink. I did. I do. I will. Just a public service suggestion.
