I’m finally leaving even though I expected to be laid off and even wished for it. But instead of getting laid off, I watched the company cutting colleagues who were trying to keep their jobs. The morale of the story: I don’t know what could be... — read more 

I apologize in advance for asking a question that is not directly related to layoffs, but I wonder if you too are frustrated that you work in a company that is a bit technologically outdated? It never ceases to amaze me how badly this company is... — read more

On occasion I pop on here to see if there are any posts about potential layoffs in our Network org. Many posts hsve contained great information which was useful. Over time, I've noticed the posts have become complaints, filled with mean, hurtful and... — read more 

Come highly academically educated, MBAs, from some ATT rotation or push program and get slotted. Its like having a race car pit crew who's chief never changed a tire or turned a wrench. The lack of knowledge and experience is clearly evident so it... — read more

Or not, how’s the fishing up where your at??? Crappie are biting pretty good here….. lemme know your thoughts and what bait you like.

Case in point is this post to the militant “Do not post here if this is not related to layoffs” person. Have a great day and try not to stress over things you cannot control.

Someone made me laugh with their post about how it is possible to progress here, but what's necessary is the right attitude, the will to take advantage of what the company offers and expressing the ambition to move up. I'm just interested in... — read more 

Aaaaand go.

Announced leaving company in 2 weeks. Up Vote: someone finally had the ba--s the force out this tool (Sambar??). Down Vote: another company is d-mb enough to pay him more, and HR is eating their words about "competitive pay".

Confident leaders will make sure to surround themselves only with the best people who will challenge them and give them the best advice. They will not feel threatened. Weak leaders will only surround themselves with yes-men and women who will agree... — read more

Asplund just won't let the Donovan thing go

I am sending more and more applications in the hope that I will finally be lucky enough to leave this place. I'm a little worried and depressed that I haven't already received an offer. Anyway, I intend to leave before they show me the door.

The ATT retirement announcements are over loading LinkedIn! Looks like it was a very larger number that jumped off!

As a worker in IT I always resented scab training. This would be a good year for strikes. How long will programmers be willing to work 60hr weeks out of state climbing poles before they leave for a better job? Can H1Bs and offshore run the whole IT... — read more

It's every man for himself on the badlands. Take what you can get, hold on tight, and have eyes in the back of your head.

Dodging work, passing out libations and looking forward to more layoffs, a paycheck for listining to Grateful Dead and lining up overtime.

Why can't we get a terrific leader at T like John Legere? He is an excellent leader that seems to have earned the admiration and respect of his employees. We sit here at T with bottom of the barrel leadership, it just doesn't make sense. I don't... — read more

If not now, during a strong labor market, then when? What are you waiting for? Life is too short for this bullsht.

The question “Will they really essentially fire more than 10% of their workforce?”. The answer, if it is in T best interest than, yes. So the real question is, do the numbers work in T favor? If so, expect them to follow through with termination... — read more

Big Stank says I need to be vaccinated ASAP! When did Stank become my doctor? You can't even manage your own business - don't tell me mine!

With a horrible track record to stand on, do you think Stankey will step down in 2022? He's has got to be the absolute worst CEO of all tme. His arrogance preceeds him!
