If I were on a team that truly needed face to face collaboration, real whiteboarding, real in person meetings, then fine. That’s not the reality for most teams here. Even if everyone were in the same building, the tech work has been largely... — read more

The Market Has Spoken. Leadership Isn’t Listening.
The market is at all time highs and our stock is down 3%, back to $24. Exactly where it was a year ago. Zero progress while everything else runs. Banks across the board are downgrading the stock to “sell.” Wall Street has no confidence. Employees... — read more
Relocation Letters 1/9…confirmed?
Has anyone got confirmation from their managers of the letters coming on 1/9?
Imagine telling employees we have to reduce headcount while count while flushing billions down the toilet
AT&T announced on January 5, 2026, that it will relocate its global corporate headquarters from Whitacre Tower at 208 S. Akard Street in downtown Dallas to a new, modern campus in Plano, Texas. The new headquarters will be built on a 54-acre site at... — read more
Moving to Plano
How do you feel about that? Is it going to impact your commute, better or worse location?
We need to name the new office.
Stankeyville, Stinktown, Stank’s Folly, The Mistake by Lewisville Lake, Stankeygrad (kind of makes sense for a narcissist like him). Let’s have some fun.
We didn’t say new office. We said NO office.
So now the plan is to demolish the Plano site and build a brand new 45-acre campus from scratch. For one of the most levered companies in the world, still buried under massive debt. This is the same leadership that burned hundreds of billions on... — read more

The real reason behind the RTO is to drive attrition
That's all. The question is whether the number of people pushed out will justify the costs. In this job market, people will try to hold on to their jobs and sacrifice a lot to do it. If it's even remotely viable to commute, relocate, or make other... — read more
Another leadership blunder and another massive waste of money
Moving HQ from Dallas to Plano means billions poured into the new campus, long term lease, buildouts, utilities, security, and facilities just to force people into offices to sit on video calls. All cost. No return. There’s a cheaper, smarter option... — read more
The only way to save this place is to replace the entire leadership
Stankey and board have failed, and at least half of the executive team needs to go with them. We need a complete restructuring, aiming for a lean structure with fewer layers of management from top to bottom. Nothing less will work to fix what's wrong... — read more
Looking forward to the first layoff of 2026
Praying I'm among those affected. Yes, I know the job market su-ks, but I've been here long enough to get a decent severance that'll have me covered for a while. And if I can't find a new job within a year no matter the job market, then I guess I... — read more
Free Cash Flow
With all the money that execs have burned on RTO, a new Global HQ, and the stock tanking because that’s all Stankey knows how to do, how are feeling about bonuses? Are we going to be paying for RTO, new HQ, and our horrific work culture out of our... — read more

Plano HQ
Tell us again how it’s not going to happen. ALL NTX offices moving to Plano HQ.
Hello Plano . . .
I wonder how much money we are spending to move?
A great start to the new year . . .
Another financial advisor has lowered our sell price to below $30. Stank doing a great job! But, all the financial experts are wrong according to Stank.
Is AT&T in Atlanta locations RTO 5 days per week or 3 days per week?
Also, which ATL location you would pick, if there is a choice?
New year, same reality check. Wake up “leadership”, you’ve lost the plot.
If 2024 and 2025 proved anything, it’s that forcing people into offices five days a week didn’t fix culture, didn’t improve performance, and didn’t magically make the stock take off. What it did do was burn people out, drain morale, and push good... — read more
RTO su-ks, and anyone who disagrees is a total clown or has no independent thought or free will
It’s honestly wild watching some of the loudest RTO cheerleaders and management bootlickers act like loyalty is going to save them. These are the same folks who defend every decision no matter how destructive, as if leadership is going to knight them... — read more

You shall be terminated as soon as the company can possibly do so.

What happened at this garage? I saw an email about a security incident. WTH?
Happy Last Year!
2026 will be the last year of AT&T employment for many. Make the final weeks count.
Finished the year strong, Stankey!
Just kidding! Stock up $2.01 YTD but DOWN $4.10 over the past 6 months. $4.10 × 7.2 billion shares ≈ $29.52 billion in value LOST.

My net worth since leaving. Frees your mind up to opportunity when leaving that soul crushing environment. Seems to attract nothing but Bill Lumberghs who get promoted. Seriously ATT Management are drips and blockheads.
