Can you Retire if you get Fired?
Hypothetical scenario: I qualify for retirement under modified rule 75 but refuse to get vaccinated. If the company wants to terminate me, can I just Retire instead? Is there any difference in benefits, such as, a fired employee is not eligible to... — read more
In response to a thread about "working hard"
Here it is, a great explanation of why some people think they work so much harder than others at ATT: https://www.fastcompany.com/3064879/why-you-secretly-think-you-work-harder-than-all-your-colleagues Should I feel bad if I can finish the... — read more
AT&T missed opportunity
Cincinnati Bell was acquired today by a foreign private equity partnership for only $2.9B. This would have been a good acquisition by T if they were not so heavily leveraged. You can bet all T employees located in the greater Cincinnati area had hope... — read more
Cashing in Pension after Termination
Bargained employee rebadged to DIRECTV. Rolled over 401(k) and waiting to cashing out pension. Anyone that has terminated employment and cashed out pension know how long that takes?
religious vax accommodation APPROVED
not gonna post exact text of email but the group has reviewed my request. They decided I'm eligible and sent it up to my boss to approve within 10 days. Still, why does it feel more like a stay of execution instead of a full pardon?
My Philisophy
No matter how hard and efficient I or 100,000 plus other employees work it simply will never overcome the self inflicted gashes to the hull and the overall company culture. So I kick back do the bare minimum and check those ATT boxes and collect a... — read more
I’m done working hard
Here’s the thing, I used to give it my all and work 60-70 hour weeks because I never wanted to leave too much work for my teammates knowing they were struggling just as much as I did. Then I realized it’s not on me to make up for the bad decisions by... — read more
Labor Day Reflection
On this Labor Day I reflect on what type of company would offshore a large percent of jobs when 98 percent of its customers are in the US. Some trolls may say this is a way of life accept it bell head. I say this is a d-mb move. It weakens the... — read more

How long do you have to stay in a position before you can apply to another position? 12 or 18 months?
How far is ATT from your ideal workplace?
Here on this forum I have seen many stories of those who have left and whose lives have reportedly flourished since they moved out of here. However, I notice that people tend to either idealize or absolutely devalue things. Let's get real - there is... — read more
mottley fool says att is a buy

This company is a joke
So att gives employees a deadline and if it’s not met they fire you. But att gives us a deadline of 14 days for our request to be processed and they miss the deadline without any explanation or updates. This company is a joke. This is AT&T in a... — read more
Any news on Sept. 15th being a day for another layoff announcement
What’s going on people with headcount reductions? Way too many worthless opinions on Covid as though we’re not sick enough just hearing all the fake news about this and that! Let’s talk layoff news...
How does it feel to leave AT&T?

What does George Cleveland's organization do. says customer advocacy...Collections moving here.
RTO is mostly advocated by lower and middle managers.
Let's be realistic. What interest does the company leadership and the higher management tiers have in returning employees to the offices? I believe none. The expenses are much smaller, the work still gets done and the employees are generally much... — read more
Satellite, satellite
Looks like with the entry of major players such as Tesla and Apple to satellite phone and internet service, Directv is primed to be a takeover target. What do you guys hear? Buy T stock?
Tv Concession question
Now that the sale has been complete for a few weeks , has anyone heard if we will be keeping our tv discounts ?

Mid-50’s: Tough Decision.....Stay or Retire?
I would like to work 3 more years, but hate to see lump-sum drop over next 3 years (due to increase in segment rates) and also lose my retiree medical (if not off payroll 12/31/21). Those in their mid-50’s : What are you basing your stay/leave... — read more
US Managers must get the jab - or you're out. Just communicated.
Just recv'd a News Now document about the jab. It included an updated FAQ link. As of 8/27 they're now saying failure to get the jab, or have an approved exemption - it's a COBC violation and you're terminated. So - get the jab, if you have... — read more
I'm impressed this place is not more of a mess than it is
I'm yet to find a company where nearly all levels of management are acting this unprofessionally and indulge in behavior that borders on unethical as much as they do here. I'm shocked that anything gets done at all, not to mention in time. If I've... — read more

Bye, bye stock price next iphone will be satellite
The future is not with T, wasted opportunities, debt anchor, worthless leadership, no vision or plan for the future. The next iPhone is rumored to use satellite communications and therefore bypass fake 5G towers from T. Remember the saying “necessity... — read more
Did you get the Vaccine? Think you can sue if it goes south?
Think again. There are currently three vaccines, and the company hasn’t dictated which one you should get. If you take the Moderna and it messes you up, then you should have taken the Phizer or J&J. Did you consult a doctor first? If not, then... — read more
ATT leadership
ATT Execs are like the gang who can’t shoot straight. They’ve spent too much time at the saloon drinking (their own koolaid) and playing poker (with shareholder’s money).
Stankey wants your input on how to further split up T.
Everyone on this sites agrees the Stankey has done a horrible job leading T into the future so lets make his job easier and just tell him what needs to be done for T to succeed into the future.
Will there be any consequences?
The majority of companies that have seen their stock drop sharply when the pandemic started have recovered by now and plenty are even up compared to March 2020. Then there's T. Not only did we not recover, today we are even slightly below compared to... — read more
What’s our path to being #1?
With AT&T selling 50% of their assets, rewinding Father Time to just become a simple telco company delivering Wireless & Broadband. Slow growth due to saturation in the market place. AT&T needs a hair cut or as Stankey put it “feeding too many... — read more
The people they have been hiring
Recruitment is often a crucial part of any business strategy. However this strategy is very strange here, and what it will bring is very questionable. Is it easier now than ever to get a job at ATT? I wonder if the people this company is now hiring... — read more
Lump Sum Option
I heard Headquarters was ready to put out an HR Statement that would eliminate Lump Sum Pension payments in the future. Has anyone else heard this rumor or heard anything regarding the elimination of a lump sum option in 2022?
Town Hall: Discust with Ratty and Stinky Bubbling to the Top
One a recent Town Hall, they used that web site for posting and voting on questions. Top questions show the contempt for the Ratty and Stinky. I guess these were posted by people that were MR75 and going to leave at the end of this year. So I doubt... — read more
Does the company pay out accrued PTO when you resign?
Or does that only apply to those who get surplussed?
Some cheer for retail stores closing
Why do some here think that ATT should have already closed all retail stores? People work there and it will hurt them a lot if they lose their jobs, and on the other hand I don't even see that closing stores leads to any big improvement here. The... — read more
