Vax Mandate Deadline Approaching

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

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 

ATT - Directv

Friend called me up 12-13-21 and asked for help to get all his services from other companies. We turned off Directv effective 12-20-21 and today he receives a bill from them for the next billing period. I called DTV on his behalf and the person in... — 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 

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

Can I switch to Xandr?

I know some will probably be laid off after the sale goes through but the rest will get to work for Microsoft, one of the most desirable employers currently. Good pay, great benefits, and most importantly, management that knows what they're doing. I... — 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

Wish someone would buy att

Like Microsoft or Amazon or anyone. Anyone else could manage att better than the current CEO and board. No one will ever buy our garbage company though

XANDR sold to Microsoft

About time we stop wasting money on Xandr. I'm sure Microsoft will make it profitable where as AT&T couldn't.

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
