With bargained employees being less than 90% complaint on the coming Vax mandate, will the company actually follow thru with their threats of termination? Will they really essentially fire more than 10% of their workforce? I have a feeling they will... — read more
MR 75
As of 1/1/22 MR 75 has no value with the elimination of benefits and lump sum payouts!!
2021 Departures
I’ve never seen so many LinkedIn posts of AT&T employees leaving the business in 2021. It would be interesting to know the final count of those who retired this year as compared to years past
Any directors or above hearing any plans for any layoffs, voluntary or involuntary, to start 2022??
Startin a new budget year, saw lots of notices in Dec 2021 for people retiring. There is expected budget pressures to reduce costs and headcount is an easy and quick one. Has planning for a layoff begun?
WALL STREET JOURNAL SLAMS ATT FO DUMPING PROMISED LIFE INSURANCE FOR RETIREES
Former employees of ATT have been told their lifelong life insurance has been reduced to a mere pittance. Many retirees were promised life insurance of $75,000 to their survivors . Not now! No law to protect so no need to fulfill the promise! ... — read more
Do you think that those who complain more stay longer?
Of course, I speak from my own point of view. I had a few colleagues who never complained about being here, moreover, it seemed like they were very comfortable at ATT. They left a long time ago. On the other hand, I have several colleagues who... — read more
T's benefits compared to the competitors' benefits?
I'm not very familiar with the benefits at direct competitors, but I would be interested to learn more if someone could make a comparison. It would not surprise me at all if this company soon had the worst benefits of most other companies in the... — read more
Moved on and not regretting it
I spent a lot of time at T trying to rationalize staying and stagnating. I realize now that I probably should have left much earlier, but better late than never, I guess. I'm not going to lie, I had some good years at T, but by the end of it, I... — read more

No communication
This is not about poor communication, this is about no communication at all with the manager. I have never experienced this in any of the companies I have worked for so far. The absolute lack of communication for some time now. Is anyone else... — read more
A slight bump won't help
There has been a slight uptick in the stock price in the past few weeks (and I mean slight quite literally) but the fact remains that AT&T has lost 40 percent of its value in the past five years. How much more does it have to lose before there's a... — read more

Santone needs to go
Three hour wait times on employee benefit call line. Many calling to fix HR mess ups associated with her efforts to get older employees to leave. Why can’t they lay her off for incompetence?
Multiple layers of management
Clearly, this has become a big problem here because management is cumbersome, inefficient and costly. Will ATT ever rethink the top-heavy management and get rid of unnecessary managers? My opinion is that this would be the best way for this company... — read more
"Santa kicked out of AT&T Stadium after putting Cowboys fan in headlock"
Sorry, I know this is not really AT&T-related, but I laughed so hard when I first read it. It's not an Onion article, as much as it might sound like one. I find it appropriate that even when an article is not about AT&T but the company is still named... — read more
Gotta love the "they owe me" nonsense from union employee leeches and dividend investors of AT&T
How did that rug pull by DISNEY work out for your dividends? How are the APPLE employees doing with their benefits...in China. (assuming they are not committing su----e). How are the union employees of FANG doing? They are all in nice union jobs... — read more
Is AT&T the most dysfunctional company to ever exist?
No doubt about it.
Stupid feeling
ATT makes hard workers feel stupid for working hard, because those who do nothing do better here. For all my hard work I have been rewarded with more work and that’s it. A colleague who does almost nothing is paid better, always in a great mood, and... — read more
Your skills and talents are valuable

Why people are still joining AT&T
New grads need to get that 1st job on the resume so they can't be turned down for no experience. Being at AT&T 2 or 3 years in entry level is not a ki---r like having 15 years at AT&T know for lack of good experience That's it in a nutshell. And... — read more

Lump Sum Pension in 2022
In hindsight, the 11/21 pension segment rates didn’t increase dramatically from the 11/20 rates, thus the lump sum drop had to be less than 5%. However I’m anticipating a lot more departures in 2022 if the rates increase by 11/22 and lump sums drop... — read more

Egg Nog
all day long in Grand Prairie. Just got home, I was so buzzed I drove 60 miles the wrong direction before I realized it. Ahhhh, life of a NDS Tech. I'm overworking my elbow. Gulp, Gulp, Guzzle.
Not everybody is unhappy here
It’s a fallacy to believe that everyone at ATT is unhappy and no one enjoys their position. Perhaps you’ve not found the right spot for your skills, ability, and goals. It’s a big company with lots of opportunities if you have the right skills. If... — read more
